Something for all the Murray haters (& the Novak haters too)...

Hmm... When the money is on the line deep down he knows his forehand is not on par with the top 3. Also his second serve is a liability in those moments.
I wouldn't say mental midget - at the end of the day the mechanics of his forehand and second server bring him down.

You could say that deep down, when the money is on the line Federer knows his backhand is not on par with the other top 4 either. Or that Djokovic's volleys are not on par. Or that Nadal's 1st serve and return of serve is not on par. Again, relative to the top 4. They are still able to use their weapons to mask his comparative weakness. Maybe we will yet see Murray do the same.

Fair and clear. Point made.
I wouldn't mind if Murray would win it.

All these guys saying he actually is talented compared to Nadal Djokovic and Federer make me lol. The guy has embarrassingly little natural talent compared to them He is one of the biggest overachievers in the history of sport in terms of the discrepancy between his results and his severely limited physical gifts.

Didn't you see how the article said that Murray had no friends and would just practice all day whilst others could coast and get better results than him. It's like that kid with no friends in school who studies all day and night and still messes up his exams: loser.

I think don't care if there are problems with the Murray mind on grandslam final level. Fact is, he has bigger problems than that - namely his lack of game compared to the top and especially his lack of innate talent. In short it doesn't matter if he shows up or not in a gs final - he would still be beat down.

Maybe he can't perfect that serve to the ad court not through lack of practice but lack of innate ability to do it? Poor co-ordination, poor flexibility, poor strength...etc... Same for his poor forehand.

Look at Federer, Nadal and Djokovic. Then look at Murray. Does he even LOOK like an athlete?

Murray is one of the fastest guys on tour at the moment and, his recent consistency in majors has made me believe that he has a chance at Wimbledon and any other major. He wasn't the best clay courter now look at him, he just made it to the semis of the French Open. Clay is one of the most physically demanding surfaces and he made it to the semis of the biggest clay court tournament in the world. For sure he's not athletic at all. And technically, he did win a major. The boys US O pen. It takes talent to be a top junior. He definitely proved that he was one of the the best juniors in the world by winning there.
