GOOD LORD Murray got sparked!! Cilic beat him 7-5, 6-2, 6-2. That doesn't look like a world #2 going down...

Same old Murray, imo needs a new coach, thats the 4 out of 4 grand slams where he has gone out hoping the other player makes errors rather than taking it to the opponent, ok Murray is a great mover and probably the best counter puncher on tour okay maybe that title goes to Nadal, but hes good. But hes offensive game is amazing to just go watch him against Nadal last year in the Semis at the open and again against Rafa in 07 in the Auzzie open. Just doesnt use it enough.

Murray hasnt made the progress this year i feel he should of, hes done ok in the master series and other smaller events. Even though hes number 2 lets not forget thats more to do with the fact Nadal has been injured and Djoko is not the player he was at this moment in time. But something needs to change that match today just reminded me of the match against Verdasco in the Auzzie open where he just was waiting for the other guy to make errors. New coach i reccomend.

I can not wait for Nadal-Monfils, my 2 favorite tennis players head to head. If only this was on clay.

If it was on clay mate it would be a massacre in Nadals favour. with it being on hardcourt it gives this match a more even balance.

Monfils is the most fun to watch on clay though. He has that sliding, reaching forehand down better then anyone in the game right now he's so rangy and athletic, he's most fun to watch on clay. The rallies in that match would be youtube material no doubt. I probably won't watch it live though with MADISON BUMGARNER debuting tonight, time to go post in the baseball thread.

Was really pulling for Monfils last night he looked like a monster in the first set but then it went down hill. He needs to learn how to keep it together for a full match. Maybe needs to be better conditioned.

Murray chokes again!! Like I said in the Wimbldeon thread, whilst Rafa and fed are fit and have a hole in their arse Murray aint winning a major. Infact there are many people that I give a better chance than Murray, i.e Verdasco, and Del Potro
