One point which is missing in comments that the British crowd and media have no respect before their lower middle class player who can only win the tournaments of all kind but not Grand Slam.

Murray has got no sports ethics at all, remind the match against Wawrinka. He was so much bad behaving and disrespectful to the opponent that he was clearly exposed with his ugly attitude.

There is no doubt that he has improved a lot in play but what about the behaviour in court. Remind again the way he was urging the crowd to support him though the whole 15000 Brits were doing their biased job as usually well. I have never seen such a supersitious player who insisits on using the same ball which wins him a point at the end. I think we all know that good game behaviour performance win the points but not the same ball.

Can he play five sets against any class player like FEDNAD, surely can't which is evident in the Wawrinka match, the way he was exhausted at the end.

I think Murray is a good player but people don't like him due to the biased and boasting Brit media and his disrespect and attitude in the court.

And please I request the rest that never ever imagine to compare him with any Greats, he is not more than Tim Henman this is where he should remain.

Can you see what you did wrong there .


Not really - no. The point I am making is that one major win would have elevated him to the cusp of being number one. The problem is the same in the women's game where Safina is somehow number one without having won a major - as with Jankovic at the end of 2008. There is not enough emphasis on the majors. My view is that Murray will be number one and a multiple major winner (Nadal may be of similar age but his playing style takes too great a toll on his body) - just not yet!

1) Crowd out of order
2) British press pathetic
3) Murray shows that his behaviour hasn't improved and that he continues to be a bad loser by swearing/being rude and shouting at the umpire/walking off
4) He just ain't good enough
Scotland can keep their number one. If I was a Scot, I might go for Kenny Dalgliesh or Monty (assuming we are talking about sport)as number one, but there's no accounting for tastes.

Oh dear, a great number of 'Brits' don't like Murray and I wonder why; maybe cos he is selfish and spoilt, grabbing most of the British tennis sponsorship money and refusing to play in the 'Davis Cup'( injury.... ha ha ) because there is no money in it for him. His attitude was even worse in the Olympics !
However he is a very good player indeed and one day he will grow up, sadly probably too late to impress. Henman, whom he replaced, was a gentleman and a great embassador for the UK as well as being in the top ten of world players, which is no mean feat.
Full marks to them both but please Andy, become a man and stop doing stupid adverts, at least until you retire!
Of which, Federer to win the title; how many cups has Roddick won since his brash airline advert?

I should also add that even with Murray playing at only around 80% of his total ability, in the end it was a couple of tie-breaks that slipped by. These are not massive margins.

--------------
What caused him to play at only around 80% of his total ability? Injury? Anxiety cos of pressure, or lack of will to win a major?

The margins at this level are minimal, Roddick played out of his skin and Murray was too passive, 2nd serve 79mph. If sport was always predictable what would be the point in watching. Murray is a different type of player to anything these Isles have produced, he may never fulfill his potential but on the other hand maybe he has already! Like so many Roger Taylor, Sangster, Henman & Rudeski great players but they reached their limits and were always found wanting at the very highest level.
Murray is the best of Scotland and number three in the world that is where he is and probably will remain for a while.
Roddick to win today if he shows the same determination as he did against Murray!
Once again a summer of sporting nearlies Lions, Murray, 20/20, U21 footie, Us Open Golf and still to come, The Open? and the Ashes? Get used to it being British, Scottish, English, Welsh or Irish is not easy when it comes to sport, but there is nobody like us really when it comes to winning, it just doesn't happen that often to get used to it! C'mon Harrington make it three in a row!
