Suhrith, as ever, a wonderful post. You’re right- there was a perceptible change in Murray’s attitude in this Australian Open. I have no doubt he can beat Federer in the course of this year in a Grand Slam, if he ever happens to face him in a final, but for Nadal and Djokovic, he has to be mentally all there for 5 sets and that is still a big question mark. Hopefully Lendl will help, there seems to be something wonderfully intuitive about the combination of LEndl and Murray, two of the saddest looking men on a tennis court ever. Hopefully they can come together and do great things!

you have vividly depicted the semi final and you made no bones about your admiration for Murray.you have signed off positively expecting him to excel in future slams.however, i feel Murray can not succeed in five setters against the top three in last fours/two as he is not able to sustain the level of intensity.if at all he can win a slam, it could be in Wimbledon,that too, in straight sets or in a four setter. i wish i should be proved wrong as i too pinned great hopes on this man and they are vanishing now.
