Murals never going to win anything until he stops vocalising his turmoil and focusses better.

A real shame ad he certainly has the talent.

Nadal is pretty good though. He's nearly number 1

This is just like his Slam final performances where he hasn't won a set-completely flat.

Who's that getting crushed in a semifinal to Nadal at a major tournament - Yep gotta be Murray.

Isn't this supposed to be his best surface as well?

Needs to get himself a good mental coach because whomever is doing that for him right now isn't delivering.

Also, drop Judy from the entourage.

How many times do we have to keep saying he needs a good mental coach? Will we be saying it when he's 30?

Spittle you'd be amazed how many people don't get it though.

Sorry spurtle, iPhone predictive text!

Well Jonty, I'm starting to feel that he'll need more luck than anything with these others being in such good form. Either an injury or another player knocking one out earlier on. Starting to think the longer he keeps going out to them the more difficult it will be to turn it around.

Having said that he's taken the third set. Will be interesting to see if he can build on this.

I just don't get why he is so vocal tonight.

He is capable of beating anyone but loses focus.

You're right though the longer it goes on the more his chance diminishes.

He's got his mojo back and won a set, nice one!

While it's true he can beat anyone at any one match, I think it's too unlikely he'd be able to beat 2 of the top players in a row which is what he'd have to do if he wants to win a major, unless like I say he gets some luck. A good mental coach won't be enough.

When Djok began this extraordinary run he already had a major in the bag which must have been a big help. I'm struggling to see how Murray can do it without that sort of boost, when the quality of the rest of the field is so high.

Personally I think Murrays chance to win a slam has passed.

Slam winners these days won their first slam by 21.

No way will he win a major. I accepted that a while ago.

Bit like spurs in that regard

Maybe Murray can ask them to lower the net a little.

What a stupid time to change your sweatbands.

Why can't tennis introduce football style chanting??

I would love the crowd to start singing "you're just a s h1t Tim Henman, a s h1t Tim Heeeeeen-man"

He might have some issues with his focus but he's a very talented player playing at the top level, no need to disrespect him.

Bit like spurs in that regard

Unlike in tennis, rich billionaires can come in and buy you major trophies, so no there's always a chance that can happen, like Chelsea in that regard. Although not if you mean majors like the Champions League, apparently.

Yes like that. Abramovich volleyed spurs though and landed in our court. We aced out

Yeah but he hasnt done anything to prevent you becoming little above average in the present has he?

We couldn't buy Evans Young and Smalling. If we could then who knows. Maybe we would be level top after 4 games running away with the league
