Default Murray is finished...

After losing easily to Kevin Anderson 6-3, 6-1 in Montreal, Murray is done. He has no mind, and a weak retriever game. He will drop out of the top 5 next year, and slowly slide from there. Will never win a major. Will never shave again.

Thoughts?

I have to say I'm a bit surprised. Murray used to be so hard to beat on hard courts on the Masters level even a year ago.

Since the AO, his hard court results have been terrible this year. This is his third straight loss in the opening match of a hard court Masters tournament. He seems to have forgotten how to play on what used to be his best surface. Since reaching the AO final, his best results have come on clay and grass this year (1 title and 3 semi-final appearances).

Hope he gets his HC mojo back in time for the USO!

It's possible you're right. Not likely, though. He has much more than a "weak retriever game."

He does have much more than a weak retriever game,but he has to decide to use it.What good is having the tools if you don't use them?He reminds me of a current version of Lleyton Hewitt but without the belief and "have a red hot go" attitude.

People say this after every one of his losses. He'll be fine.

Hmmm...isn't that what people said after he lost in the 1st round to Donald Young in Indian Wells and then right afterwards in the 1st round to Alex Bogomolov in Miami earlier this year?

Then he makes the semis of Monte Carlo, Rome, French Open, and Wimbledon?

That was a slump. That's different. This is Murray being mentally and physically out of it, and he will not recover. He knows he can't do it, and the pressure is too much. He's done. Today's match was the final razor.

Lol. The best part was when you said he will never shave again. You win.

Nah,he's far from done. I still make him one of the favorites along with Djokovic,Federer,and Delpo to win the USO this year.
