Bath Saint Posted 9 September, 2008 Share Posted 9 September, 2008 And of course, Wiki is completely neutral with no input allowed from 3rd party individuals. It is inevitable he would want to backtrack on his statement. After all, he is a sportsman in the "entertainment" business, and the last thing you want to do is alienate punters, isn't it? Too late for me and a lot of others I'm afraid. He also looks patently ridiculous when he opens his gob. I agree that Wiki can be unreliable but this particular article is supported by a host of references. Now, individually these too might be suspect, but together I think they provide a convincing case. Of course, it might all be spin on the part of Murray, but as you rightly say, he is a sportsman and most sportsmen of his profile would have some sort of publicity engine. Ultimately, however, he will be judged by his results, imo. Incidentally, if you don't believe the wiki article, here are the relevant references. Some are broadsheets, others tabloids.... http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/tennis/atptour/2303901/Wimbledon-Andy-Murray-promises-to-focus.html http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/2008/06/23/wimbledon-more-mature-andy-murray-ready-to-shine-89520-20618073/ http://www.mailonsunday.co.uk/news/article-389385/See-Murray.html http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/tennis-news/tm_objectid=17307387&method=full&siteid=66633-name_page.html http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/motorsport-news/tm_headline=tim-s-my-pop-idol&method=full&objectid=18432555&siteid=66633-name_page.html http://sport.scotsman.com/andrewmurray/Murray-comes-of-age-with.2789124.jp http://news.bbc.co.uk/player/sol/newsid_6630000/newsid_6638300/6638329.stm?bw=bb&mp=wm&news=1 http://www.guardian.co.uk/sport/2008/jun/29/andymurray.wimbledon1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyNorthernSaints Posted 9 September, 2008 Share Posted 9 September, 2008 No disgrace in losing to a brilliant performance from Federer. Always thought it would be difficult for Murray to maintain the level of performance he played in beating Nadal. But well done anyway, he's ranked 4 in the world aged 21 and i'm sure he will win a major soon if he continues improving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Priced at 6/4 to win a major next year... now, who in their right mind would take that bet?? I'm not saying that he wont win a major next year but the price is ridiculous.

OttawaSaint Posted 9 September, 2008 Share Posted 9 September, 2008 I'll disregard the Rusedski remark as there is no comparison but I'm trying to work out how you can call Roger Federer inconsistant. 15 majors (Wimbledon 2003/04/05/06/07, US Open 2004/05/06/07, French open 2006/07/08 and Australian open 2004/06/07), a total of 55 tour wins plus 237 consecutive weeks at number one in the rankings and all this at the grand old age of 27, if that's inconsistant I'd hate to see his consistant record. That was his 13th last night. I believe Nadal won those 3 French opens and he was runner up. In any case, I think he is the greatest player ever to play tennis. I know Sampras had 14 majors, but I think Federer is better than Sampras was at his peak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Federer was in fact runners up in those French opens, glad to see someone paying attention and pointing out my deliberate mistakes Also Federer is still only 27 so still has a few years to overtake Sampras which I think he will do next year.
