Default Murray literally has not broken a sweat yet..

This tournament hasn't even brought anything out of him. It's like he's playing a 250 event against tired scrubs.

Well that not totally surprising. Look at all the scrubs we got from Rank 5-6 on down.

Murray could just sleepwalk through these guys. He won't be challenge until Roger.. Though I'm not even sure, Roger will be that huge of a challenge anymore on a slower hardcourt. I can't see Fed staying in rallies with Murray anymore on slow court.


The only guy I think Murray is gonna have to up his game ( to top form) for his Nole

I wouldn't say that. Murray is better on the faster HC. He just lost at WTF, which is pretty slow.

I wouldn't call the USO "faster" anymore.. They have slowed the speed down quite a bit in Flushing over the years.. Heck, it just keeps getting slower and slower

yeah but i meant it as a relative term. 7/8 of his masters titles and his lone slam title were won on decoturf. he has never been great on the plexi surfaces.

WTF is indoor, which will automatically make the balls fly faster due to less friction in air. This is just my understanding of playing indoor. May not be right.

Come on.

Haase, Souza, Berankis, Simon. I could hardly line up a weaker bunch of clowns if I had the power to choose the draw for my favourite player.

About time we have a dedicated thread for this joke. Like I said the other day, playing against a bunch of nobodies at this stage of a grand slam is ridiculous.

He has no excuses whatsoever if he doesn't get to the final, that's for damn sure.

Federer is a pretty good excuse.

Edit: Isn't that little person in your post a bit old to be F1Bob Batz.

You can smell his fear and panic, and other moronic posters, as the posts get nastier and more hysterical as Murray advances.

You can do a scientific correlation of stress, bigotry and hate from Round 1 through to final.

Very perceptive my friend. I think you might be on to something.

What I like most about these threads is the notion that Murray has done something wrong because either he has a relatively easy draw or the seeds he is due to meet fall by the wayside.

Like any of those things are within Murray's control.

He has all the excuses: he's the only one who couldn't get into a rhytm

Oh I get it,if he beats them, he's a disgrace because they're a bunch of nobodies! If he loses to any of them, he's a disgrace because they're just a bunch of nobodies!

Basically, you just want to hate don't you?

You're right of course. Players can only beat the player across the net but that won't stop people from complaining about cupcake draws. It just seems certain players are luckier than others where the draw is concerned. And yes, he should indeed make the final with the opponents he's faced. But at the same time, his lack of challenging match play may work against him. Only time will tell how it plays out.

The fact that you consider the possibility of them nobodies defeating your hero is just downright sad.

Don't include me! I've never tried to say he's got a tough draw and I feel reasonably sure batz would say the same!

Oh, nobodies are as nobodies do. A nobody can come really good on occasion.
Just ask Rafa!

It was expected. Spanish people hate the grass.

Murray has had the single easiest draw in the open era of grand slam tennis... Even his quarter will be a stroll. He should be ashamed that he's been broken in the tournament already...

Not really, if he has to defeat both Federer and Djokovic it's automatically harder than Djokovic's draw who only needs to defeat Fed or Murray.
