ANDY MURRAY: It's not really a problem. It's not really my left hip. It's quite hard to explain. It's more sort of my lower back is just stiff, like I had most of the tournament. It's just where we play ‑‑ I wear cycling shorts, and sometimes they're quite tight, so you need to ‑‑ you know, Roddick does it a lot, it's kind of what Rafa does on his other side.

I don't really know what I'm trying to say, but basically my hip is fine. It was just the cycling shorts were tight (smiling).


Tee hee.

Say Andy took one of his set point opportunities.

Do you guys think the outcome would have been the same?

I think the outcome would very likely have been the same.  Federer could have played inspired tennis in one of the two remaining sets to win as he did in the 2nd set.   

Set #3 was an off key set for Fed and Andy couldn't take advantage.  In set 2 when Fed was in the zone, Andy had very few opportunities on Fed serve and Fed could have broken Andy in many other occasions to win even more easily.

Presently, Andy lacks the weapon to drive the ball fast into one of the two corners for his transitional play to get to the net and take advantage of his opponent's defensive position.  Andy rarely ventured into the net today with mixed results.

I disagree somewhat. He does have the weapons to do this, he just doesn't use them. More so on the backhand, but he certainly has the ability to inject pace on the forehand as well.

You are right, you know Smile.    Maybe having to go to Barcelona and train since the age of 15 had something to do with it you know.

I don't really mind.  As long as Andy excels at tennis, I am not too bothered about his English grammar !

Just a nervous reflex, I had to do a presentation at my business seminar last week and I was like Gareth Gates after eating a big bag of toffee.

Andy "I`ll NEVER win a Slam" Murray  w00t

Is there no beginning to your talents?

The only slam title you`re ever gonna win is on your PS3  lmaoff

The next time you reach a slam final...at least make an effort, and let`s face it, the only thing you`ll ever beat that`s swiss...is an egg...if you`re lucky  w00t
