Just from watching the Highlights, looked like some good rallies, but FAR too many stupid errors (from both players). Disappointing for the World Number 9.....

Absolutely!

Andy shouldn't need to play his best against a much lower ranked opponent.

You can't judge a player by his ranking, surely we all know that.

If pigs had wings

The comments about semi and final opponents were made in looking at the draw, which was very reasonable. He's number 9 in the world for crying out loud. Super human fitness? He is a professional tennis player, with a large team around him, he should be super fit. Also, how will you run further than your opponent..... surely both players run for the same amount in a rally, as long as one player isn't just hitting it back to the other.... which he's not really doing, he's just not attacking the ball heavily, but he still makes the opponent move. It's not squash he's playing, it's tennis. If you are running more than your opponent, then your on the back foot, not ready to counter a weak shot....

So basically I disagree entirely. The only reasons he won't win a slam right now, are lack of serious consistency, and Federer. That's it.

Don't wanna be too harsh on him but I reckon without the cheap points on serve he is having to do a lot more work than he has to
I would love him to win a slam ...I just dont see him being close until he gets consistant with the serve
That was the main point I was trying to make

This is very true....I thought in the Tsonga game though that the inside out forehand he played was creating loads of angled shots which was giving Andy a lot of running
