accies4eva Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 play stopped due to rain, just as murray was starting to take control 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McKee Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 Murray will win in 4. Birdman will pillage him in the first set, then have one of his routine mental collapse's. I also fancy Youzhny to beat Murray for a place in the semis. Should have put a bet on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perthshirebell Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 Should have put a bet on. Murray is still 2nd favourite if you think he will win. I don't know enough about tennis to contribute. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the jambo-rocker Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 That ll be the second set gone then. I really dont see murray getting this one back at all. He's barely been allowed to dictate in this at all so far. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DomDom Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 That 5/1 bet wasn't bad at the time actually, but in hindsight, Murray didn't look like he had the fitness in that third set to do anything to Berdych. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McKee Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 (edited) That was some mental collapse in that set there. I blame the rain delay. Edit: Fair play to Berdych though, whatever it was he did during the break worked well. Edited May 30, 2010 by McKee 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DomDom Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 I blame the rain delay. Edit: Fair play to Berdych though, whatever it was he did during the break worked well. I think if Murray came out of that break with more ambition, you might have been right, but Berdych had no reason at any point to be worried. As I said, Murray just wasn't looking right out there. If they just kept playing instead of that second set, the adrenaline might have helped Murray. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McKee Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 Youzhny awaits in the QF, should be an interesting game. Do we just keep all French Open related discussion in here? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn't look right all day today. worrying with the english grass season coming up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StewartyMac Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 Murray's been pretty poor ever since the Aussie Open final. He needs to get his mojo back quickly, as there's other players such as Cilic, Del Potro and Soderling now waiting in the wings to take over when (if!!) Rafa and the Fed fall away. Not quite the procession to the top of the mens game he was thinking it would be. Until he gets someone in his coaching staff who can improve his mental toughness, I fear he may never get the chance of a Grand Slam. He just doesn't seem confident in his own ability anymore. It's quite worrying. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the jambo-rocker Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 The big difference between murray and the level that nadal and federer play at is that even when their opponent is playing out of their skin, they find ways to neutralise them, even if they are playing shite theirselves. Until he finds a way to dictate these players even when he's playing poorly, he ll never have the mental strength to win a slam 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H_B Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 Shows just how amazing Federer is, to have actually increased his level as his career has gone on. Murray and Djokovic are both going backwards. No danger Murray will win a Grand Slam in his career. Just doesn't have it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skyline Drifter Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 Murray and Djokovic are both going backwards. No danger Murray will win a Grand Slam in his career. Just doesn't have it. I think it's too early to draw that conclusion. He's certainly going through a poor-ish spell at the moment (though he's just fundamentally not that good on clay and a last 16 position isn't unreasonable for him) but it's hardly long enough to be described as "going backwards" yet. Neither really is Djokovic, though I've never been convinced about his long-term credentials to be honest. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
