i wonder how long it be before the english media stop calling murray british once he's lost this

he'll be back to being scottish

They were calling him Scottish this morning, stop talking pish.

[ibroxgers25 18]

I actually amazingly heard him described as "English" on Talksport when he won Queen's

he's british or english when he is winning mate

but if he fucks up he bk to being scottish

[AGM_72 3,637]

Yeah, I'm not a subscriber to the theory that the English media only call him British when he's winning.

It's nonsense.

Murray really needs to find his rythym again. A good love-service game will help.

I used to think that as well

But last year I was on holiday during Wimbledon and had the English Sun the day before his last match and the day after and the difference was pretty funny

I dunno, I don't think it's as blatant as it's made out to be.

It wouldn't surprise me if there was a difference, though, but I think that's just the nature of the British press. Rangers are always built up for a promising campaign in Europe and are then often shot down the following day by the papers.

fucksake what a get from murray

[ConorRFC51 38]

Murray is done.

If Nadal wins this set it's all over.

[Broxi1872 183]

game over

[kingbroadfooot 68]

Shit.

[jamd1986 8]

Crowd are fucking shite today. Need to try and help Murray out a bit. Not doubt more snobby uptights in the crowd today compared to the matches I was at earlier in the week.

[ConorRFC51 38]

Nadal is starting to edge towards his element.

[EastEnclosureBear 2,919]

C'mon ANDY!

[ConorRFC51 38]

Aw well. Better luck next year, Andy.

[Right_To_Censor 1,951]

he'll never win it, he doesn't have the bottle and as you can see he looks done in.

ffs idiot, to many double faults

[Scott-RFC 308]

What the fuck is he doing?

Pathetic

wasnt that when henman was british number 1 they got right behind him.and murray has achieved far more than that cunt already

[Right_To_Censor 1,951]

lol nice catch

[Clemdog 39,389]

C'mon Andy !!

[rfcfraserrfc 262]

Nasal cares alot more than Murray

[J_RFC87 761]

Why is everyone saying Murray being a bottler? Nadal is absolutely incredible and is likely to over take Federer in grand slam victories at some point. Murray is a top player, but Nadal is better.

The "he's not trying as hard as Nadal" remark is just rubbish. If anything Murray wants it more than anyone !

I feel sorry for the guy, he's trying everything ! Half way through the 4th set Nadal had made 7 unforced errors, that's unbelievable, you just can't compete with that.

[Right_To_Censor 1,951]

12 unforced errors, that says alot also he's choking on his serves at times, faults and double faults.

[Right_To_Censor 1,951]

has to break his serve or its all over

[JamieD 18,949]

Murray was on top until he missed that easy forehand early in the 2nd. He knows he should've got that and hasn't been the same since. He has bottled it from that point on.

Exactly. This isn't a case of two players playing to their best abilities and one simply being better. Nadal is brilliant but Murray had the upper hand, and the stats in the second half of the 2nd set and the entire 3rd show that Murray was defeating himself as much as Nadal was. Unless he has developed an injury that wasn't there in the first set, I can see no possible explanation for having a first serve percentage below 50%, as Murray did at one point in the 3rd, apart from bottling it.

He looked so focused too.

[Right_To_Censor 1,951]

another unforced error
