Was Murray even expected to win?
Seems like a standard win for Anderson unless I am misreading.

I am actually quite sorry for the British audience as it seems that they will have to wait another 70 years to see a grand slam return home

maybe they don't care about him flying out of a masters event, but they do care about the fact that he hasn't won a slam yet, nor will he soon

andy is scottish he doesn't care
The other 3 slams barely get any coverage. For the UK media/public, if you dont win Wimbledon u aint ****.
Its funny how people come out with the knifes after every single defeat..in terms of slam performance this is his best year to date...But he has totally bombed in the masters HC events.

Maybe he should have played LA like last yr. Didn't see the match but the commentators on TC said "showed rust" - and 3 and 1 - owned - makes it look like he's got a lot of work to do get ready for the USO.
Going to lose a boatload of points - fortunate he built a nice cushion over Soderling - who's out.

LOL, that was a funny exchange last month.
I bet Judy Murray, her circle of friends and her coaching empire had some laughs over that breach in character, hahah.

He seems to only care about the slams now...

It looks as if Murray has set his sights so firmly on winning a slam that he has almost lost his motivation in the smaller tournaments and masters 1000's, as you can see he has done very well in all the slams this year, one final and two semis, but has a dreadful record on the american hardcourts which is very unusual for him, in fact he hasn't even won a match, 0-3 record, losing to Young, Bogomolov and now Anderson, yesterday it looked as if he had just accepted it wasn't going to be his day and didn't seem to put up any kind of fight to get back into it, i think Andy needs to get his priorities right, yes winning a slam is the most important but if he one day wants to become number 1 he has to be fully motivated to win every match he plays, at the moment it doesn't look that way at all, yes he puts in all the hard yards fitness-wise and on the practice courts but at the end of the day it simply comes down to how badly he really wants it, and at the moment it seems in most other tournament other than a grand slam he doesn't look like he's up for the fight when things aren't going his way.

totall agree with you TJfederer.. he should continue his strive for a grand slam.. but forgetting anything but the slams is just very silly.. he should get his priorities set

I guess Ralph just forgot about everyone but his new owner when up 6-1, 3-1 yesterday. The ebb and flow of Murray's psyche and that effect on his results is stupefying. A true Jekyl/Hyde.

I really don't think making Slams a priority, yet still giving a consistent, intense effort outside of Slams are concepts which are at odds with each other.
And, the idea that these professional athletes are "saving" themselves at this point in the summer so they'll be "fresh" for Slams is absurd. A player "saves" himself by not playng the week before a Slam, or by not playing six consecutive weeks during the clay season prior to the French Open. Giving a full effort at the Rogers Cup, three weeks before the US Open isn't going to prevent them from being "fresh" at the USO.

He also lost his 1st match at Rotterdam in February on indoor hard-court to Baghdatis, again in straight sets. With the exception of the two recent Davis Cup rubbers in Glasgow, he hasn't won a match on hard courts since beating Ferrer in the semi-finals of the AO last January. Quite extraordinary for someone who has won no less than 15 out of his 17 titles on hard court and has reached three hard-court Grand Slam finals!
I doubt Murray ever goes into a match thinking he can't win it. He's naturally competitive. IMO something must have gone wrong with his preparation, either physically or mentally. Maybe he's just been so busy recently trying to improve his performances on clay and grass that he's neglected to hone his traditional skills on hard courts. I think he should have played a few smaller tournaments to warm up before Montreal eg. gone to LA to defend his finalist points there from last year. He's evidently short of match practice. Hopefully he'll be better prepared for Cincy next week.

I agree, i just meant when he got down early he already looked defeated, not that he never believed he could win beforehand it just looks as if he wasn't up for the fight and has looked that way in a lot matches this year where he's got a bad start and gone out early. On the preparation side he did say he changed things up from the previous years before coming into Montreal and trained in Miami for a while but didn't practice too hard because he said in the last few years by the time US open came round he felt a little flat, so i guess the change-up in the prep could have affected him here.
