All this post match analysis is like watching a bunch of people beating about the bush and trying to avoid the painful truth. Yes they said Murray needs to improve his mental strength, but that is just a Euphemism for saying that Murray choked like the pathetic bottler that he is.
Say what you like about how well Nadal played after Murray won the first set. But Murray allowed one missed forehand to derail him completely. Fact is Murray played his worst match at the wrong time. Yes Nadal played well, but look at the number of midcourt forehand's Murray missed, and look at how his level just dipped when he missed that chance to break Nadal at the start of the second set. He lost belief and choked. No point trying to sugar coat. Best to just call a spade a spade - He choked. Yes he is Britain's only decent tennis player, but what does it say that our best tennis player is a choker. Not something to be proud of.

Not so much choked as simply wasn't good enough. Top 4 has become top 2 and a guy with a dodgy serve and forehand is just not good enough.

he is a bottler, sums up britain in all sports really, but IMO i think he has the technical ability of both Nadal and Djoko, but at the mo is lacking the mentality, not sure he will ever get it, but all he needs is that to reach the top. Its a lot to ask though
