I think he has done that first one more than once, as i have seen him do it as well. Quite funny :lol:

Embarrassing yes, but nothing to be ashamed of.
And he definitely does not hit harder than the others, not even close.

Yea. I was thinking the same thing. Almost anyone can look at this guy and see that for sure! I am always bored with the guy's game. I am still wondering how he got in the top 10.

In my opinion, he is not that good. I want to see if he can defend his points this year! :lol:

I never said Murray was not a good player.
Actually, in TS3 I play just like him. I find his game very effective without being too aggressive--the kind of high percentage tennis that I like.

In terms of pure tennis skill Murray is mediocre, but he uses evey bit of his skill(unlike some players), but he is a very good athlete and very mentally strong

Hence, efficient tennis.

I find his game actually pretty interesting if he's playing one of the top guns.
But if his opponents are other uninteresting players... :roll:

I watched a match with murray vs Isner in the hopman cup and it wasnt that boring.

I believe murray will attack more this year

by **Vieira151** » Sun, 10 Jan 2010 22:24

he said he listened to what folks said and he said he is trying to attack more.

I totally agree, he seems to look bette himself if the opponent is better.

Yea. I think we need to put Murray into perspective a bit. I know he is a much better player than I am. Yet, I rather keep my game over his. :lol:

korolev defeated querrey in 3 sets

Kuznetsova lost her first round match. what suprised me was she only won 4 of 25 points on her second serve :shock:

It was her second match but very poor nethertheless. I hope it will not be yet another see-saw year for Kuznetsova, she has the game to be No.1 imo.

Its funny, ive been reading loads of predictions and almost no-one has mentioned Djokovic, in fairness he has won a slam and is in reasonable form coming into Aussie Open and i think will definatly be favourite against Del Potro over 5 sets. And Murray has only been to a slam semi or beyond twice....

by **fedfan** » Wed, 13 Jan 2010 00:16

I've no doubt Djokovic has the game but for me there are still question marks about his fitness in the heat. Personally I think the rankings are spot on for the front runners but there is very little in it.
