Jimmy....
Working hard does not simply mean pushing weights...its total and complete dedication to one's ambition....which is what all the best tennis players in the world do. Murray has done that with diligence this season.
Am very happy for you that you could lift 2 Rafa's above your head before having breakfast Jimmy...but could you beat him in a game of tennis?

clearly you are a Murray hater, thats the only reason for your daft comments...

Having reached a Slam final at a young age, who knows how he will push on, but the great thing to me, is that he can and does beat the top 3 guys .... if they respect him, then us know alls must respect that.

Jim, keep pumping the iron ......turns brain into muscle

OK. Sure.

Andy Murray will win a Grand Slam, like what, after some 100 years since a Britisher has won anything in Tennis.

Congratulations. And start the celebrations already.

What is a 'Britisher'?! Are you German? The phrases and the regimented way you wrote the post suggest you are. Are you ginger like Boris Becker?

Good to see you on here, your comments are their usual witty selves!!

Surprise you have time to post though, what with all that defending my honour you're doing in Belgium - or have you made it to Poland now?

I firmly believe that Andy's anger about his play in earlier seasons has driven him to improve all aspects of his game. You need that drive to scale the heights of the game.

Jim states
"when i was in uniform i used to carry a 200lb backpack together with a pmk high velocity machine gun up a 30,000 foot mountain".

Mmm! Mount Everest highest mountain in the world: height 29,035 feet. Not the brightest our Jim.

Jim isn't really lying: he only wants our approval.

He's just like the strange drunkard down the local pub that you smile at and humor in the hope he doesn't bottle you.

Spot on Motty - Murray is a very sharp guy to have worked out exactly what needed improving. I think he took as much from Gilbert as he could and was ready to strike out alone when he did.

Bring on the Fed-style domination!

"random...I would agree that we didn't see an exhibition of shot-making yesterday, but that wasn't what that match was about. It was about two closely matched players maintaining a high level of pressure. And for the last two sets it was Murray who was doing it the better, by quite some margin actually.
"

I agree with that. Murray was by far the better player over the 3 sets and Fed was pretty fortunate the scoreline was as close as it was. If Murray had gone after the break points a bit more he'd probably have won the last set comfortably (though I can't really blame him playing for a Fed mistake since they were coming fairly often at that point)

I still think (and hope!) that we'll see much higher quality tennis between the two of them in the future. Maybe very soon...
