Andy Murray

Anyway, back to the original post. The finest Scottish athlete without doubt was Alan Rough, what a goalkeeper he was. He had a fantastic 1978 World Cup. Can't understand why Scottish goalkeepers have a bad reputation.

Not sure why you needed to throw a little strop at myself and Papa - I was just stating what is very well known within tennis that Murray's favourite surface is the hard courts and he will do well at Flushing Meadows.

I am sure it is because you are always nit picking,micro managing what people post.Wasn't a strop, just an observation..For the rec, squared it up with Papas, if you read earlier threads..He favours FAST surfaces

Yeah it was a bad day at the office - only seen extended highlights and he just looked down from the start

But Murray will be back - of that there is no doubt

I do not think he will be back winning, regarding majors..Hope he will,but he does not have the same make up compared to the likes of Nadal,Federer (earlier years), or Jokovic..Seems a little fragile in comparison.

Great fan of Roughie - though why he wore gardening gloves in the '78 WC I have no idea.
 
Impressive first set from Murray - Dimitrov started like a train but Murray just waited

Starting to look the player he was in 2013
 
Thats a pretty good win from Murray - not far from the Murray of old - great energy
 
Defo good to get through in 4.

Murray just didn't to seem to want/be able to dominate as much as he has in the past. Depth was rarely good enough and it was only when he went back to his 'Mr Angry' style that he seemed to really want it! First serve was a bit predictable and he definitely needs to improve the second!

Will be quite a match next. Kyrgios has shown he can last, though that may have sapped his energy/concentration too!
 
Good win but a tough game against a home crowd favourite. Think Murray should have enough but you never know. Not sure he's quite back to 2013 standards but moving forward again which is good to see
 
Played well after the first eight games, when it looked like he would be hit off court. I like his new sliced serve, and the bit of needle at the end of the first set seemed to get him going.

Good to have him back in a major final. First one since Wimbledon 2013.

Excellent result!

Unfortunately, I can't see anyone beating Djokovic. But really good progress by Murray!

I was worried after the first set but he got his act together, still served very poorly compared to his match against Kyrios so hopefully he can sort that out.

Now all we need is Novak and Stanford to play themselves to a standstill!
