St Landrew Posted 30 June, 2009 Share Posted 30 June, 2009 Have to admit, ol' Andy fights like a British Tennis male player hardly ever did, certainly in my flawed living memory. Usually, it's a case of the Brit failing pathetically, but with Tim [oh our Tim] it was a case of just failing, after such an effort - phew..! It was always ever so english tea and victoria sandwich with our Tim. Such is British Tennis, on the whole, although tbf, Canadian Greg Rusedski bucked the trend, in his own way. And for a while he was Britain's No.1, and obtained a higher rank than our Tim ever did. Honest, it's true..! But with Murray, I sense a bit of a working class street fighter. A bloke who says to himself, I'll be f****d if I'm going to let this tw*t win. And much more often than not, he doesn't - let him win, I mean. And that's when he's actually stretched. When he isn't, he plays like a bloke who doesn't like playing, i.e. he wraps the game up in the shortest possible time. It's about time Murray finally showed the Brits that they can play tennis like everyone else on the planet. Because we're running out of people who like sponge cake with their tea.

Henman won loads of matches like the one last night. Murray was the higher ranked player, on home turf, and struggled through in 5 sets. That's pretty much the Henman script. Oh, and Henman and Rusedki both reached number 4 in the world. Don't get me wrong, it was a good match yesterday, but Murray was expected to win, and very nearly lost. That's nothing to get too excited about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Greg is Canadian and Tim is English, but Murray is British? Shurely Shome Mishtake... by your maths he should be Scottish, no? Tim and Greg both reached ATP #4, so thats one of your facts blown out of the water. All Murray did yesterday was Tim did countless times - got taken to 5 sets on Centre Court by an opponent he should have (on paper) walked all over. Now, what he needs to do on Wednesday is to actually WIN the next game to break the cycle. He even started to fall in to doing the Henners fist clench with each point won. Slippery slope.

Saintandy666 Posted 1 July, 2009 Share Posted 1 July, 2009 Well, Murray just walked past Ferrero happy days. I think he is more likely to beat Roddick out of Roddick and Hewitt. Never underestimate Lleyton Hewitt. Greg Rusedski did do what Henman never did; reach a grand slam final, but over whole careers, Henman was by the far the more successful player.

Baj Posted 1 July, 2009 Share Posted 1 July, 2009 It's this level of gullibility that really gets on my tits. For a start, Andy said this after he was directly asked by an English journalist if he would be supporting Scotland in the world cup, knowing full well Scotland hadn't qualified, this was his light-hearted retort. The journalist being the type that he was decided to run with that quote out of context (not including the quote from the journo). He did not wear an Argentine shirt, in fact the story that is false was based on him wearing a Paraguay t-shirt. Murray is a decent guy who takes his sport serious and probably comes across as a bit miserable... the same accusations could be said about Mansell. I'm 100% behind Murray.

SuperMikey Posted 3 July, 2009 Share Posted 3 July, 2009 Murray was beaten by a better player today, Roddick has come back from a long run of poor form and has shown that he can challenge the big boys at the top.

To be honest, I've been ambivalent about him since he started making anti-English comments. Did you watch the game? he hardley choked.

He's 22 years old and no3 in the world and will win a grand slam event in the near future.

I would say he did choke murray was the higher ranked player murray had just won a grass title murray was the top seed in his half of the draw murray had much much better recent form murray had played less sets/games upto that point in the competition murray did not pull it out of the bag when it mattered Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murray has already achieved more than the likes of Heman has so far in his short career, why don't people just back him? As for the anti-english stuff? If that honestly upsets you so much you should probably consider getting a life. And the fact that he doesn't smile enough? Who really cares. He's paid to play tennis. And he has horrible teeth and an awful smile so you can't really blame him for that either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erm, the most successful British player for decades?
