Exactly what I thought. Over on ATP they had him saying he just had a bad day and what have you. In fact here's what it says:

“I lost my confidence in the beginning of the match. I was playing aggressively but making lots of mistakes. It was not easy to regain the confidence during the match. Andy likes to play against players who attack him. He is very good in defending and today he didn't give me many chances. I played well during the week but unfortunately today I didn't have a good day. I was not really playing the game I usually play and I could never manage to find a way to break his serve and get back into the match.

"I really wanted to win today. But everyone have bad days; this is tennis.

But the other stuff was from the BBC and obviously during the post match press stuff.

Oh, and here's what Andy said:

"I'm definitely very happy about winning this tournament. Now I'm only 3 points behind the No.8 player in the Race. I still have a chance of qualifying to Shanghai. I didn't expect to be in this position after missing nearly four months out of the season.

"I felt quite comfortable during the match today. My opponent had probably one or two chances on my serve but I was playing with a lot of confidence. I played very solid all match long. Verdasco has one of the biggest forehands of the tour and he tried to use that to his advantage. It was tough week for me because I played tough matches on Friday and Saturday but today I was able to win in straight sets.

"St. Petersburg is a great tournament. Everyone hugely supported us all week long. The organization, the hotel, everything was perfect."

Oh, it's always the lights, the balls, the racquet, the weather, the crowd, the umpire, the linesmen, the towels, the food, the drinks, the flowers... I was distracted by the lovely colour of those beautiful roses!!

Murray's a bit of a sore loser as well if we are going to judge Nando on those comments. Let's be fair.

... and don't forget the guy on the other side of the net. They can be dashed off-putting!
It would all be much easier if they didn't allow those "opponents", and I think most of the guys on the tour would agree with that ... then you'd see them really perform at their best.

Maybe the light was only shining on Murray's half of the court and it some how stayed that way even when they swapped sides. lol

I didn't see the match ...
... maybe Andy brought his own torch? Or miner's helmet? lol

God bless those "Fred Perry" Night Vision Goggles.
