B.P.R 2,798 Posted July 8, 2012 Report Share Posted July 8, 2012 The trouble with andy Murray is he's Scottish, much like the main problem with Scotland is it's full of scots Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fazza123 517 Posted July 8, 2012 Report Share Posted July 8, 2012 im sure the £575,000 he gets for second place will take the edge of losing... people go through alot more than losing a tennis competition every day without crying....so crying for winning half a million is pathetic IMO,,,, Dont sound like you have any idea what go,s with a competetive nature..................dedicate your life to something,live eat and breathe it......then reach the pinnacle and see if you dont have any emotion...............he was probably relieved it was over just as much as he was gutted at losing...........i just think its a shame we feel the necessity to shove a microphone in someones face when their at the height of their emotions. So the paying fans don't deserve to hear a few comments after the game ?? Regardless of him being bothered about money,it's their job to speak,win or lose ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

No........paying fans should be going to watch a game of tennis............and its his job to play tennis not talk...........................................and if you want to hear what a highly emotional athlete has to say 2 minutes after the heat of battle then dont be surprised if he doesnt come across as " a nice man " Edited July 8, 2012 by gnasher16 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

undisputed 1,664 Posted July 8, 2012 Report Share Posted July 8, 2012 Such a fine line between being a good player and a great player....Murray had chances in the game but couldn't take them while Federer took the majority of his...at that level if you don't take your chance you get whooped....Federer is probably the best player in the world today and certainly of this generation. Don't know what comfort there is in that for Murray. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
