If when and can do you think Andy will overtake Robin Soderling.

Hi sportslover

I think your question should be if, when and can ??

I think we all know he can.. But I certainly think that he has to knuckle down to do so. Djokovic has raised his game considerably over the last months and I know that Andy could do likewise. He is most definitely in the doldrums and I think we need to hope that before he can overtake Soderling he does not slide further. Thats no comfort I know but if he could string a few successes together he might get some of his confidence back. Sadly Andy is his own worst oponent at the moment

Ammended

Andy went off the boil when he lost the Oz Open to Federer and
I don't think that, mentally, he has recovered.
All he needs is ONE Slam and the flood-gates will open

But I STILL advocate a sports shrink

One Slam - not really asking much is it Andy!!!!

Sports shrink? - Coach (with a shrinks ability), as we have said before yummy a Johny Mac type but if and when?

He needs to start the wheels in motion if they are not already started

I believe that Johnny Mac put himself forward as a (part-time)
coach quite a while back sportslover !!

I WISH Andy would accept the honour

Errm, i wonder if the combination of McEnroes ahem"flare" with Andy's intensity would bring the worst out in him ?

Still, can't argue with BigMacs history of slams and wins.

Johnny Mac would eat Andy for Breakfast Jubba !

Just what the doctor (shrink?) ordered

That is interesting about Big Mac putting himself forward to coach Andy .. if my memory serves me rightly he did the same with Tim Henman... it fell on stoney ground. Love Mac as I do but I would think that being coached by him would require nerves of steel.. I dont somehow think that Andy has a bullet proof vest especially if his Mum is around.. John Mac and Mrs Murray would not be a good mix i.m.o.

Mrs.M would just have to bite her tongue and leave John & Andy to get on with it.

A few choice words would be regularly exchanged between John & Andy but as they both speak the same language there shouldn't be any problems - Dream on 8)

Well S.L. I dont think anyone has made Mrs M. bite her tongue yet and I
wouldn´t put money on Johnny to do so... but It would be one helluva match-up thats for sure.

This is a Fascinating subject !!!!!!!!!

Mac v Murray ???

IF JUDY KEPT HER MOUF SHUT My money is on Mac !!

BUT - Will Andy listen to mummy or McEnroe?

If he is going to pay Mac "Big $" for advice I think he will listen to Mac and Mum will have to take a back seat yummy

I agree sportslover

Judy is going to HAVE to realise that she doesn't control
No 2 son any more !! I KNOW she's proud of him but she
needs to get a grip on reality and realise that Master Murray
needs a stern, STRONG, task master

(finK)

Anyway it's all hypothetical as he doesn't seem to be making any moves to getting a coach.

Or maybe work is being done as we speak and he may surprise us all.

Here's hoping

A Coach A Coach

My Raquet for a coach (With apologies to W, Shakespeare)


The most annoying thing in life is to be a Murray Fan

He has such ability and tennis nous that he is so FRUSTRATING !

yummy

I think Mrs. M. needs to learn to let go. Im sure that Andy would be a lot better if she just stayed to being his Mum and not trying to interfere with his tennis.
Like your Mum teaching you to drive

I'm not sure she has that much input into Andy's day to day decisions, she has so much other stuff to be getting on with, coaching, admin, food-shopping etc, just turning up to watch him must be quite an effort diary wise.

Are you sure we are talking about the same woman... :..

Well, going by interviews and appearances, I'd say she is taking more of a back-seat than a few years ago, but I'm not a fly on the wall around the Murrays household, so couldn't really say for sure.

Ill refrain from comment

Not long now - Andy

Don't thing he will be playing before 10-00PM this evening!?

Blast

I was all of agog there :run2:

SKY

First up Fiasco then DelBoy followed by Muzza.

A good nights tennis for sure

Watching Hairdascu now

Andy is only defending 10 points at Miami ( ) Soderling defending 360, so Andy could effectively take No4 at the end of this tourny. IF he goes on a run, and Sod has a stutter. Can't really tell as IW was a write off for both of them

Thanks for that MTS.......it would be great if Andy could get back to #4.
