Papa Lazaru 0 Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 You do wonder about Murray. Seems to have the talent and confidence required but at times he must be the most unfit young athlete in world sport as he struggles with 4-5 set matches and regularly seems to be injured or ill half way through longer mateches. Hopefully his new coach will sort that out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sima 0 Posted August 16, 2006 Author Share Posted August 16, 2006 (edited) Murray 7-5 6-4 FedererHere we go again. . . And this time Murray keeps his cool. A majestic backhand pass beats Federer to set up three match points. The first escapes him, but Murray blazes another pass to claim the biggest win of his career. He looks drained and buries his head in a towel as the crowd rises to him. Is this the day that Britain's next great tennis champion came of age? ffs...........It's started.

catmag 337 Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 I'm pleased for him - to beat Federer is a huge achievement. I do wish he'd get a bit of charisma from somewhere though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Further, anyone who is good at anything and is Scottish/Welsh/N.Irish is automatically British and claimed for the English nation as theirs. Sounds double-dutch, I know!!

Hopefully his new coach will sort that out! 179251[/snapback] Fitness and temperament is his major problems but hopefully he can improve both. It would be nice to think a lad like this, from a working class backround even if his mother was the Scottish tennis coach [or whatever] could win some titles, especially Wimbledon, and boost the game because tennis needs to be more accessible to working class roots if we want to produce more players like him and even Henman because lets fact it Henman wasn't crap, I wish NUFC had been one of the top 10 football teams in the world for so long.
