Basel R2: Andy Murray vs Roberto Bautista Agut

Quote

Saw only the first 3 games. Agree with the untipical errors even in the first games.

I didn't watch due to work, but this is the result I expected.
At this stage it all depends if he's happy with this level. If he is, then great.
But this is his level. Top 50. His 500 and Masters record are woeful, and barring Stuttgart, he's not performed well for some months.
I actually thought he was on an upward tilt early summer, but his game has regressed since then, and we'e back to passive play and bad serving.

You wouldn't be either if you opened your mouth when Andy's playing well and posted some positive comments.  It's the constant drip, drip of negativity that's your problem.

Well, I watched that and both players were below par save for Roberto's serving at the start. He does not show a jot of emotion so I just do not know what he was thinking. Andy on the other hand was out of sorts and knew and showed it. He started not focussed and his play barely improved further into the match. Because the Spaniard keeps switching to play forehands in the backhand court the play is not too attractive to watch.

I think it was just a bad day for Andy. It happens.

Yeah I'd like to think I was balanced in my assessments of him.

He's played some brilliant tennis at times. And quite frankly it's remarkable he's actually in the top 50 with a steel hip. But part of me thinks he wants more than that...
