Murray is such a disgrace...

Yup, you're a brat. Annoyance comes from unforced errors. Try remembering it's not your job and more people will want to hit 3.5 with you.

He is not the only sportsman who swears or gets upset if he loses a point. I'm sure they all do at some point.

I think my point has been misunderstood when I said I don't see why a thread like this is necessary or relevant. Yes he gets upset, but all players have at some point.

Has Nadal not berrated officials, has Federer not smashed a racket in anger, has Nalbandian not injured a pensioner?

I just don't see how picking on a human's weaknesses and personal faults is thread worthy.

Don't worry about it. You are the voice of reason. No-one is saying Murray is perfect and some of his occasional negative mannerisms can irritate his fans too (like me) but there is a well-known bunch of guys on here who can't wait to lay into Murray and tear him apart for anything they can lay their grubby little hands on whether it be his style of play (boring pusher etc.), his extraordinary, freakish good luck (only way he can win matches etc.) or his frustrations on court when not playing well (no other player in the history of the game has EVER behaved so badly etc.).

Most of them are laughably predictable. You'll soon see the well-worn pattern and get used to them eventually.

if this was to the boy he's really an disgrace!

and maybe he simply didn't see the towel boy? again, wildly speculating here.

I thought the same thing first, but then again it's hard not to notice a ballboy stading next to you with your wide open towel, and regarding the ******** remark why would he say to himself "take your time ********"? He seemed to be looking at someone when he said this.

If you don't like Murray (and nobody says you have to) and you don't approve of him for whatever reason, then refrain from watching him and talk about someone you do approve of in threads with a more positive spin instead of getting all worked up about one player as if he's just committed mass murder on centre court or something!

No buddy. This is a forum and people are here to express their views on tennis and players. No one has to agree with what one says or be nice to players who don't know how to behave or do not want to behave on TV. You seem to enjoy, and even rejoice, in Murray's antics but you are a minority in this thread. So if you don't like the thread just go and start your own thread on how great an example Murray is for the younger generation of players and maybe in 5 years time we'll have plenty of swearing and racquet smashing little brats on the ATP tour.

Yes it can happen to all of us.... once , maybe twice. With Murray it's every match whether a 1st round or a final, and mind you pretty much every point of the match. See the difference?

Murray took lessons from McEnroe on how to throw your opponent off his game.

I see you don't like to read the opinions of someone who disagrees with you do you or you wouldn't have come out with that preposterous statement. What did I say in an earlier post? I'll quote it again for your benefit:

"No-one is saying Murray is perfect and some of his occasional negative mannerisms can irritate his fans too (like me) but there is a well-known bunch of guys on here who can't wait to lay into Murray and tear him apart for anything they can lay their grubby little hands on whether it be his style of play (boring pusher etc.), his extraordinary, freakish good luck (only way he can win matches etc.) or his frustrations on court when not playing well (no other player in the history of the game has EVER behaved so badly etc.)."

It's just that some of us try to put it into some kind of perspective, unlike you.

Oh I see. Did we have a generation of foul-mouthed, racquet smashing little brats on the tennis tour in the wake of Connors and McEnroe, then? Or can we expect to see some linesman-kicking little thugs like Nalbandian as well?

Somehow I think the world of tennis will survive the occasional negative antics of Murray given that its survived so much worse that has gone before and is going on now. But I guess your right. Who am I to try to interfere with your righteous indignation about Murray's truly evil and horrific behaviour. I just look forward to seeing an equally outraged thread from you when somebody else puts a foot wrong and will think it a tad curious if I don't see one!

It's about time the umpires manned up and started dishing out warnings and point penalties for his behaviour. The worst thing is that he, and everyone in the stadium, knew he was going to win against Stepanek, so why all the humdrum?

Yep, this is definitely the first time I've seen some tool post a thread whinging about a sportman's behaviour.

Now I know for sure you're a troll. EVERY SINGLE MATCH???, EVERY SINGLE POINT???

Until I just saw that, I was prepared to at least give you a little benefit of the doubt as to your integrity but with that truly and utterly ludicrous statement that has just been shot completely to pieces!!

I'll now happily leave you and your pals to your sad little hate-fest!

Why do you hate him so much? Typical "hate those with what I don't have" British thing?

He hates him because of a joke Murray made when he was 19.

LOL good one.. so how could i watch the other players i wanna watch while he unfortunately plays them?
didn't think it through huh?

Well, no he is still a child and doesn't behave like any of the real champions Fed, Nadal, Djoko.

One commentator was astonished that Murray was complaining again every time he was losing a ball that he was sick, tired, injured this and that.... Jesus, become a man Andy! I am so tired of his constant complaining, badmouth, and racquet breaking, ball throwing in the stand etc....
You have no dignity, just accept the fight like everybody else in any physical and mental state you are in, thats' it.

Why are you surprised?

He has behaved like that forever, those are some of the reasons why i really don't care about Murray, even though He is a very good player.

Question: Did Murray grow up without having a father around him?

Nadal lost at Wimbledon and hasn't played since because of injuries so its a bit harsh to jump on Murray if he complains about injuries.

Federer has won more than most (ever) but when he loses he has a face like a smacked @rse, because he hates losing.

The only exception I can see is Djokovic who will willingly go around the other side of the court to congratulate his opponent on becomming the first Brit to win a major in 76 years having carried the expectation on a nation on his shoulders since he was 18 years old. But Djokovic is lovably bonkers.

I don't see the point of a thread that is just b1tching about a player. Keep your b1tching to your playgrounds and get back to talking about tennis itself.

Federer doesn not misbehave like Murray, not even close and yes all of them lose and don't like losing, but Murray behavior is shameless for a now grandslam champion.

I wonder why Nadal and Murray are such good buddies

[syc23]

Moan all you like haters. Murray is a grand slam winner and he's getting paid to play tennis and you're not.

Deal with it

He can moan all he likes. The dollars is rolling into his bank account, all the Internet 81tching ain't going to change a thing.

I'd love to be in his shoes and make countless millions £€$ doing something you love.

Why in the world would you want him to behave like Nadal?!? The endless time wasting, butt picking before every single return of serve and before every single serve motion, fake MTOs, complaining about too many hard court tournaments, water bottle adjusting, excessive celebrations on opponents UEs etc. Seriously? You would want another player who behaves like that?

[tennisaddict]

Plain and Simple - Murray likes to win matches, hook or crook, by wincing, whining , abusing , faking and cheating.

And yet appears like a big sport saying 'I can cry like Federer, but cant play like him' . 'Nadal is the greatest player in history'.

No self pride, idiot of the first order.

I guess he already is a lot like Nadal then. He just needs more self belief and about a dozens new OCDs.

Whereas you are someone who posts hyperbolic @rsegavy on an internet messageboard.

The butthurt is strong in this one. Dry your eyes mate. Here's a wee snap to cheer you and your pals up:

Murray is a great player, I am with you.

All what me and few others are saying is 'He is a bad sport and a terrible loser'.
