There's no way Andy is going to hover in the top 20 for a couple of years.  He'll be back in the top 10 this year.  He's got the talent all he needs is the consistency.

 

I disagree.  He knows he is better than top 20 and in my opinion his remarks show he is hungry to be the best.

At least you are now providing a link to the article (though most will just read your selection of quotes)

If you bother to read all the article you will see that these are comments delivered in Barcelona in the aftermath of his defeat to Ancic.  Strange then that the 'shock horror story' has not been picked up by another source since then.

And in fact  many of these comments minus the sensationalised headlines appeared in The Herald on 1st May.

So relax. Hold back on your knee-jerk reactions and the negative sensationalised comments. Understandable though, I suppose, since if Murray quit, where would that leave MW?

Oh how I hope you are right! That is my root belief in Andy certainly but his attitude sometimes gets you thinking the opposite. Is he a spoilt petulant teenager or someone who manages to put his foot in it when he opens his mouth and is mis-understood. Not everyone can be sqeaky clean an' wholesome like Novac - Andy is not a clean-cut sunny personality like his brother, he's - well he's Andy and I don't doubt his dedication and determination - he does, indeed, need our SUPPORT and he'll certainly get mine.

I agree with Senga and Mark completely and, even if he loses against Nadal, it will be a super match if he gets there next week and one, I'm sure he can be proud of. Nadal seems to bring out the best in him somehow.

1) I am not just talking about andy's quotes, I am talking about the information in the whole article.

2)I am emphasising also 'when' the comments were made, which to my mind is highly relevant.

 To repeat, it is strange that this 'shock horror story' has not been picked up by another source since the comments were made ie after the Ancic match.
