Vagueness and the Aftermath - A sporadic diary

[Woodsey]

Once again Murray came across as a complete prat. Tsonga and federer have more class in their little fingers

Come on that's a little harsh, not everyone can be charismatic mate.

Some of us are lacking in raw natural ability tho. Pretty sure if I just won a semi at Wimbeldon then at least half the country would love me even if the other half hated me.

Props to him for what he has achieved but sports personality of the year he is not

Maybe he doesn't consider the job done yet? That is the right attitude imo.

Yeah true but come on that interview was terrible. He has a very good chance of he does not bottle it

LOL, not like he's playing someone who's probably the greatest player to ever pick up a racket and has the added incentive of returning to #1.

PS I like Murray.

Murray is Federer's bogey man though, he's one of the few players with a winning record over him so he knows he can do it.

Yeah but he got lucky in 8 of those 15 meetings

Never took a set off him in a Slam though. Just if he does lose tmoro a lot of people will say he bottled it, can't handle pressure etc etc but if they both play their very best Federer wins most of the time. I think Murray has a good chance though and would love to see him do it.

I'll be editing a few posts if he does

Hmmm...

Interesting, but not much here to sway me.

Would you have been swayed if he had been shot and survived and then went on to do well?

Common perception is that he has led a very secluded childhood as from an early age his mother has pushed him to be a tennis pro, almost as if she is living her dream through him.

Her own tennis career didn't come to anything so she has been coaching for 20+ years.

If indeed he has had little social interaction from an early age this could be a reason he doesn't do media too well.

Edit: Wonder what Dalglish's reasons were?

Good argument Geo.

I'm swaying....

I'm pretty sure most people think Federer is going to win, nothing to do with bottling it if Murray loses.

O...M...G...   Come on Murray!!

I wonder if the cooling effect of a fan is greater than the body heat produced by the effort used to wave it?

:-D Going to be a tough one.

I enjoyed the following article in the Grauniad about Murray's perceived moodiness....

Don't have facebook, it's the spawn of the Devil.

C&P?
