Andy Murray on being the runner up in the Australian Open Tennis. To be frank, I'm getting just a tad bored of Novak winning everything! If you were to go by rankings only, he should win every time but as in the Pete Sampras era, amongst others, no one else gets a look in.
Everyone has a poke at Andy saying he has a blip when playing Novak, but seem to forget, so does everyone else!
Maybe number 2 should be the new number one, as the points difference is insurmountable for everyone including Andy. Novak is the only top 4 player to have not had to take a long time out due to injury! Whilst I don't wish him ill, it would make a change for him to have an injury to level the playing field just a bit.
Have a good down time Andy and I hope all goes well for the birth of your first child.
You are so right - had Andy been around a few years back, he would clearly have been the winner- but Nova and Nadal are there as well, and he is forever being pipped at the post. I hope he discovers parenthood is a far more wonderful outcome in life than a mere trophy!
ReplyDeleteHe seems very excited about fatherhood and has already said family will come before trnnis.
DeleteI fully agree, as a mentioned in the comments on the previous post. I think Andy had a lot on his mind-his wife and the baby and the incident with his FIL. I wish Nadal would get back to his previous form as well. As for Serena Williams-she is so far ahead in the points nobody can catch her.
ReplyDeleteVery true regarding Serena as well.
DeleteYou Brits really love a loser !
ReplyDeleteIts not whether you win or lose but how you play the game! The British Bulldog attitude loves an underdog!!
