It's not his physical game. It's his head. He simply cannot win the crucial matches.

I will now predict that he will never win a Grand Slam fianl in the hope that he reads this and wins Wimbledon.

...and with that post Zod we're now full circle back to my opening post...again.

Murray's now beginning to buck even the laws of Quantum probability...

Anyway we both seem pretty sure about our views so perhaps we could make it interesting. Are you a sporting man?

Oh this is gonna be interesting...

Not sure if we are allowed to use PH as a gambling format so perhaps we should confirm by email so PM me. Would suggest a GS in the next 3 years and for a few hundred to make the wait worthwhile! Mind you should be all done by dusted by Jan next year at Melbourne.

Nah - not 3 years...crikey, even I'll win one in that time frame...2 years for £100 to the charity of my/your choice?

I'd feel better at 3 years!! Mind you I'll take £100 for you not winning one anytime soon

Money's looking safe so far im.

Nicely quoted HR - I owe you a drink if Greenie coughs up!

This predicting business is a piece of p1ss isn't it

[im]

Anyway - with the French Open now over - Grand Slam attention now switches to Wimbledon and the inevitable question...

In what round will we all be deflated this year

Oh crickey, what did I start 2 years ago with this thread

Andy Murray not amused by facetious calls of 'Come on Tim'

Only the British English in Britain England to a Scotsman.

Sorted it for you.

Looks like he'll win this and then make short work of his next opponent in the Qtr's so in all likelyhood is into Friday's semi against a 'struggling' Nadal?

What could possibly go wrong (this time)

[im]

Christ...its all opening up for Andy now!

This thread may well become defunct on Sunday.


















nah.

Comparing form in other Grand slams the last one would be the Australian Open and Murray won that one.

? The last time Murray played Nadal in the Australian Open was in 2010 and Murray did indeed win that match.

Ah...thought you were saying Murray won the Aussie Open...sorry...

Carry on.

As long as Nadal is seeded 1 and Murray 4, they will always meet in the semis and I just don't think Murray
is as good as Nadal and will always struggle. Why don't the Wimbledon committee seed Murray as 3.
He might then meet someone else in a run to the final.

Because you can't just make up the seedings to suite your particular home-grown favourite. The seedings are calculated using a known formula.

...And frankly, in the worlds eyes, Murray is no better than 4th.

Why should Djokovic or Federer have to drop down a place and face Nadal in the Semi when they are clearly better than Murray???

England should apply to become a Canton of Luxembourg, such is its sporting prowess.

Don't worry - Haye will get this great nation smiling again tonight

So what you're saying is Murray's a shoe-in.

I think someone is due a charitable donation

I think he has a 'get out of jail' card in as much as his post said he'd "feel better if it was 3 years".

So...next September then...

I predict a certain Oliver Golding will win a GS title before Murray does...

No he won't.

I concur. Not in a million years. The schoolboy game has very little 'transferability' to the pro game...

Perhaps Murray ought to compete it that then

Maybe slightly unfair given he's no. 4 in the world during a time of probably the best standard of tennis ever...

...Better than the days of Borg, Connors & McEnroe?

I was joking!

Had guessed the lazy comment was made tongue in cheek but you're right, the notion that Murray would "demolish" Borg, McEnroe or Connors in their prime is indeed a joke!

Their names shouldn't even be in the same paragraph. I believe that given the training regime, coaching and equipment that they have today Borg would be head and shoulders above todays top 4.

Some of the games/rallys against Connors and McEnroe when all at their best will never be seen again.

Frankly Ivan Lendl at his best would have seen off Murray...hell, even Roscoe Tanner would have demolished him.

Justices said:

Do you have that wager on as that could be a tasty pick? I think Murray will win his first Slam at either Melbourne or U.S

I'll take that wager if anyone is interested.

£20 he doesn't win either.

Justices said:

Done.

You have been.
