I don't think he will personally. It's funny how he puts up a fight against guys like Nadal and Djokovic on clay, but gets dismantled by guys like Berdych and Wawrinka on the surface.
 
Sorry, I am quite new. This is only my second time using this forum. How do you post a poll?

Go back to your thread and try to edit. Below is a choice if you want a poll or not. It will also ask you how many choices you want in the poll and you can make the poll public as well.
 
I hope so, I doubt he'll do much on clay. His recover is slower than I had hoped.

He's only played 3 events since surgery Nat. Where did you think he'd be by now? I mean, I was hoping he would do better than he has and maybe do a bit of a Rafa - but it was never really on the cards after back surgery if we're being honest with ourselves.

FWIW - Murray has high expectations of himself on clay this year - making final at RG is a major goal for the year.

He reckons he'll be back to 100% by the time the clay season starts, I'm more inclined to say it will be grass season before he's at his best again.
 
To be honest, I don't see him doing brilliant at Wimbledon either if he continues his form, he seems to be really vulnerable to big hitters now. He's lost to numerous big hitters in the past year, Cilic, Berdych, Wawrinka, Del Potro, Gulbis, etc. He used to own all those guys too apart from Berdych

I don't know, I just expected him to be able to go a bit deeper. Maybe I was being harsh, but I anticipated him maybe going a round deeper in Rottadam and Doha (?). I would have expected a closer encounter will Cillic, who I know has given Murray trouble before.

I agree about the grass season, although I feel his level won't be 100% there I think he'll be good enough to have a shot at winning it.

I think he'll be patchy during the clay season, I expect if he reaches a couple of top 10 players he'll take one out. But I don't think much more will happen.
