Feeling Andy Murray’s Pain at Wimbledon
Feeling Andy Murray’s Pain at Wimbledon
Every man and his dog have got an opinion about your game, your behaviour, your mother, your brother and the girlfriend. I would not like to be in Andy’s shoes during the two weeks at Wimbledon every year.
BBC commentator Andrew Castle made a comment about Andy, “The problem for Murray is he just happened to have been born at the wrong time. He may never match Nadal, Federer and Djokovic. Maybe Andy has given his best but it’s not enough at the highest level.”
Rafael Nadal sort of apologised to the Brit, “I’m sad for Andy. He deserves to be in the final. I wish him the best. He needs a bit more luck. The only way to beat Andy is to play fantastic, and that is what I did.”
The British No. 1 took the first set 7-5 and produced some great shots. After that it was Nadal’s match. The final score was 5-7 6-2 6-2 6-4. This win was Nadal’s 20th successive win at Wimbledon.
“I was playing very high risk tennis for most of the match. I went for it and I started to make a few mistakes. Against Rafa you have to go for big shots. Sometimes I’ve come off court and thought I should have taken a few more chances. Then today it’s kind of the other way. It was good for a set and a little bit,” the defeated Brit said.
Novak Djokovic’s dream has come reality. The Serb said, “It is something I have dreamed of since I started playing. I have visualised myself on the last Sunday of Wimbledon. Being in the Wimbledon final is the thing for me.”
Djokovic overcame Jo Wilfried Tsonga in four sets 7-6 6-2 6-7 6-3. His match record this year is 47 wins and one loss.
