I think to be honest Andy has just got to put his 2 Slam losses down to playing against the greatest player ever rather than the fact he has lost 2 Slam finals

I am sure if in his next final he was playing anyone but Fed then Murray would win a lot more big points than he did today

With Fed you know when you get the break points you got to take them and that is why a break point against him is even more difficult to achieve

murray hit the ball well for 95% of the match and had the game to turn him over if fed played like in the rest of the tourny!

He didnt, as we all saw he turned it on today and totally showed his class, murray didnt serve as well as he has but it was all down to pressure/nerves.

I hope he gets some decent tourny wins in this year and builds his final confidence!

Come on murray!

yeah , both times federer played great , and andy was nervous plus the weight of the country on his shoulders.
if he does come up against him again i think he should be more aggerssive, and play like he did against nadal , keep the points shot and attack from the word go , coz when him and federer get into those long rallies fed usally ends up wining the point with one of his back/forehand winners which are pretty impossible to keep up with.
i know murray usally wins those types of rallies against most but when federers at his best its different.
murray can deal with fed in other tourneys fine but at slams hes a totally different player.
I really hope he wins a slam this year and becomes no.1 pray  for atleast a short time.
his games good enough too.

go! andy! w00t

Agree with the thread title to be honest, it was a very spirited performance but he looked drained to be honest.

Does anybody agree with Boris Becker that Andy should get somebody
like Agassi or Conners on his team guys who knows whats needed to win a slam title
i think this would be a good idea.

Not really, only reason Murray lost on Sunday was lack of consistency with his performance rather than it being down to something in his game. If he played Federer like he did against Nadal, he would had a very decent chance and taking the title.

To be honest, I think it's quite interesting that Federer was playing at his best, Murray wasn't, and he still had opportunities to win a set.  That's actually quite an achievement, to be fair.

Well considering he had the bit of Agassi that knew what it was to win a slam for a bit and sacked him I'm not sure that'd really work out for him.

Maybe he doesn't need that, but i still think he needs a better coach, not that miles hasn't done great for Andy, I just think he needs that extra work on the details that a better coach could provide.

I agree that some sort Slam-winning 'guru' could be a decent idea to get him mentally right to compete in a massive final - as the mental side was part of what let him down on Sunday.
Though wouldn't a few sessions with a sport psychologist help even more? Think
I seem to remember reading in his auto-biog that he'd tried such a thing around the time of his major wrist injury and didn't believe in it.
