Murray is known not to take care of himself in the sense of eating the right foods at least. He eats burgers and sh*t like that which means we can assume he doesn't get the nutrition a famous sportsman should get to keep their immune system in top condition. Do you have proof of that or is it just gossip? I think Murray keeps to a strict enough diet, but opposed to some other sportsmen, he occasionally sins against it. I find it very stupid when people with a huge talent waste it by not practising discipline, but perhaps Andy is just very sensitive to illnesses? Some people get sick easier than others and even nutrition can't entirely change that. |

I'm pretty sure Murray has said that he eats a lot burgers/pizzas and I remember us all showing concern as he was doing it before a match one time (US Open?).
Many people underestimate what a good bit of nutrition can do to someones immune system but he could indeed just have a naturally weak immune system which would be a shame but more reason for him to avoid the sh*t foods.

I admit this may have been out of his control and that's fair enough but there's also a good chance he could have prevented it if he made sure to eat the right foods leading up to a tournament.
That's a bit of a sweeping assumption. You know his diet inside out? I thought Brad changed his fast-food diet when he was coach and I'm pretty sure he has a nutritionist on his team. No point in having a fitness coach without eating the right stuff.  |

Biggest mistake ever.  You should write Andy a letter and ask for a food schedule, he might give it to you. |

Andy is getting far too much stick here.

It sucks, but probably sucks much more for Andy than us. He's now got to wait another week before he can start trying to get some ranking points.

Did you see the SKY Anchor when he was talking about this ........ he said 'it would not interfere with SKY's coverage of Andy (he didn't do anything as blatant as winking, but something similar to winking was implied) and that it had been purely precautionary on the part of Andy and TeamMurray' which I translated to ....... Andy needs more time with Alex Corejta !
No I didn't see that. Maybe you're right but he's going to have to play some time  |

No point playing if you're suffering from a virus.
But also he may need more time with a sports psychologist to help get him back onto the clay. I mean, the injury came so out of the blue, who's to say he's not got a fear to overcome, for all we know.

It could be that he's making some significant tweaks to his game and would rather have the extra time with his new coach before the masters start. There are plenty of other ATP tournaments to play.
We will see. By the way, I'm still waiting for some one to tell me when the last time was that Andy pulled out with an illness, not a sporting injuty.
Anyone...?

My point being, is that I don't think he ever has. Thus making all these posts about his poor immune system and his diet a load of nonsense!

My thoughts exactly - I'm seriously pissed off. Djokovic was right when he said Murray doesn't take care of himself.
Well taking care of himself hasn't done much for Djokovic considering he's already pulled out of an event this year with a virus too, maybe he's a secret junk food eater.  |

It was a virus that kept him out of Davis Cup in Glasgow. And he had a cold in Doha last year. Didn't stop him making the final though...
