Murray lashes out at Rusedski

Fight your corner Andy

"if I don't win a major tournament in my career I will still have enjoyed the way I played. "

I always suspected that he didn't play more aggressively because he wouldn't enjoy his tennis as much. It's his whole life, so if changing his game style would remove the fun out of tennis then fair enough.

Wow, I thought he was mates with Greg!

Good on him for sticking up for himself. He's obviously decided that it's his way or nothing. He mixed it up well against Del P yesterday anyway (second set idiocy apart), I saw some lovely aggressive stuff at times. Hopefully he can keep that mix and hit the heights next year.

(Small matter of the rest of this tournament first, of course! )

Yeah! And Barry! Well obvs not!

Andy says he enjoys the way he plays, maybe he likes the challenge of playing the cat and mouse game, trying to lure his opponent into the trap, I wonder if he plays chess, that's what his style of tennis reminds me of, he moves the pawns around the board and then when the time is right and the pieces are all in the right place he strikes, checkmate, game over.  Intellectual tennis as opposed to bull in a china shop stuff. 

I'm a counter-puncher and I like to let the other player attack and make the errors... I can imagine I would find tennis less enjoyable if I changed to an aggressive game style.

Good for Andy !  He's suffered in silence long enough with all the pundits (and us at times) having a go at him.
It's his decision the way he plays his tennis.  I do think as he gets a bit older he will be more limited on the athleticism and may think again but then again he may decide Money Made - Life is more important .
Thought yesterday that one or two spots of real aggression came out when needed - boy was he focused in that third set

Can't fault the guy for playing in the style that's enjoyable for him.  If, at the end of his career, he's happy with all he's achieved, then that's the important thing, even though it may be frustrating for others.

He played great tennis yesterday, mixing the aggression with the cat and mouse, changing things up when he needed to - his own tactical game - a very clever game and I don't think I've seen him play quite like that before. There was more aggression but he didn't overdo it, it just blended in. I'm glad he's defended himself in this way and he not only told Greg etc he told us as well - 'cos we keep on at him to be on the attack. He has perhaps 8 long and punishing years left to play his best tennis and if this is the way he enjoys it I have to say - Good Luck to you - I'll always enjoy watching your brilliance - because that is what some of those shots were yesterday, both from you and from delP. A super match. Hope you take the pants of Fed!!

I say good on him! You do things in life for you, no one else is going to, and like Elly said if he looks back at the end of his career and his happy with what he got, then fantastic, not many people can say that. He's a very smart and talented guy - he knows what he is doing and clearly something is working for him otherwise he wouldn't have achieved what he has this past year. A big well done to him!
