Berdych bottled it against Djokovic I take it?

Wouldn't matter if Murray lost this 3-2 with every set won on a tie-break, people would still use the 'bottled it' rhetoric.

Such a shame this. He's definitely lost some fight over the last 12 months, not sure why.

The question will be whether he can handle the mental aspect of going on to win major finals

Seems to lose his head for long periods of the game. You just can't do that in a Grand Slam final.

Think he needs a proper coach that will tell him some home truths.

But he's not going to lose like that, which is the point.

He hasn't bottled it.

When the best player in the world (Going by the last few months on the circuit) is playing at his best, there's nothing Murray can do. Sorry.

Jesus Djokovic what a fucking shot!

This is really bad.

Feel for Andy.

Great stuff from Djokovic

Dr Manhattan · « **Reply #448 on:** January 30, 2011, 10:51:26 am »

And there's the example, once again, of him hitting the ball to the wrong side at the net.

He does it so often it's quite unreal.

Nonsense, the gulf in class between these two isn't this big. Murray is good enough to compete with 'the best in the world', which he was doing right up until Djokovic broke him in the first set. His entire game collapsed after that, and whilst Djokovic is playing well, he's not getting anywhere near the test he'd have been expecting from Murray.

Murray's attitude seems to be I've lost the 1st set, I can't win this now

At least he's shown a bit of fight since he was 5-0 down in the 2nd

LiamG · « **Reply #451 on:** January 30, 2011, 10:55:31 am »

He is playing crap

Disintegration · « **Reply #452 on:** January 30, 2011, 10:59:11 am »

Murray's mentality is his downfall. It's utterly delusional to think otherwise, and he'll have to get very lucky and face one of the duds who occasionally make a Grand Slam final if he's ever to win one (unless there's a sea change inside his head). Three finals, three straight set defeats is unprecedented.

But he's not losing it in that way. It's been very one sided and right from the first set, one could tell that was happening.

Fitting that his last shot hits the net.

Just didn't happen for Murray. Novak has played the best tennis all week and easily in the final.

Get in. well played Novak.

best player in the world right now.

at the people who suggested its murray's best chance yet to win a Grand slam.

One thing I have learnt is that Judy Murray has eyes of steel. She looks like the type that wouldn't have been afraid to whip her son evertime he swore, or double faulted.

Congratulations to Novak Djokovic he's really raised his game over the last 6 months and anybody who beat Roger Federer in a grand slam deserves the trophy for that feat alone.

Oh look, Murray's lost and Kopout's decided to make another appearance. His first since calling Murray a bottler before he beat Ferrer.

What a shock.

In which case she must be kicking fuck out of him by now for how many mistakes he made in that match.

Ermm.. certain federer is still playing you know. Unlucky djokovic, he is clearly playing better then murray but unfortunate to be facing federer before final.

Murray got a such a easy draw all the way to the semi finals. but he won't go further then that.

I see what you did there, if it was intentional?

But...
