Temper tantrums and a better player beat Murray today.The lad needs to find some peace with himself.He could be a far better player if he can sort out his temperament.

Glad he lost. What an unlikeable bloke. He's such a cry baby.
I'd rather spend the day with tiger woods (and that's saying something)

He's always been a quitter. Saw him at Wimbledon ages ago, and he quit then, and nothing has changed.

Sorry but that's rubbish - you don't win as much as he has including grand slams and coming back from back surgery by being a quitter
He got beat by the better player today when Murray let his guard
The desire to kick people when they lose is quite embaressing

H'mm! Unlike Golf, in the intensely physical game that tennis is, short bursts of anguish are quite reasonable imo. Murray's grimaces are hardly temper tantrums! Djokovic is indeed simply a better player, which is why he now has 8 Grand Slam titles!
That could well have been in the days when his physical fitness was seriously suspect. Something snapped though and there's restoration work required!

Taylor, Lloyd, Rusedki, Henman. That's a few of the best British players I can remember. Not one of them came near to what Murray has done. Arguably Murray has came up against the best 3 or 4 players that the game has ever seen.......and all at the same time.

Didnt quit in the 5 hour, 5 set marathon of a US Open final a couple of years ago though did he?
2 Grand Slams is not bad for a supposed quitter. Maybe winning Grand Slams is easier than i thought.

I really dislike the man myself, but I don't think you can achieve what he has done by being a quitter. Just don't think he has got the mental strength the other top boys have for a 5 set match as it must be as mentally draining as physically.

Pretty much what I think.
He's proven he is a top player, but imo Djokovic is (usually) a better player. No shame in that. Only one player can be the best.
Maybe he does have weaknesses in his game, physical and/or mental, but winning a couple of slams is something 99% of tennis players would love to achieve and he's done it!
Do you think its a British thing that we build up our sporting greats just so we can knock them off their pedestal?
99% is a guestimate btw, before the pedants weigh in asking for proof of said figure.

Its exactly this
Murray has played tennis during a period when the 3 best players ever have played and has been right in the middle of them competing and beating them.
Djokovic will IMO go on to be the best ever.

He won't be far away, he's a fantastic player, but Sampras and Federer do have damned good records.

They do - just think Djokovic will have it because he wins on all services
Certainly would put Murray in the Top Ten as best ever
Mine would be
Federer
Djokovic
Sampras
Nadal
Borg
Agassi
Becker
Murray
McEnroe
Lendl
Edberg

Andy Murray , great tennis player unfortunate to have at least 3 of the best ever players to grace the game around at the same time ..
But ya know what bugs me about him , and its a totaly far away observation on my behalf .
He is a quitter, mentally , no or not enough fight in the guy when its going against him , his head goes down he starts looking up in the crowd etc..
I could be wrong and maybe it is just that he is good but not good enough , but watching him play most times you can see the change in him , the "ah im beaten" look coming across him , try something different at least , go down fighting not moaning
