Thanks for your comment. I suppose if he wins one, then a few could well follow. But its all about getting over that line for the first time, which for Murray is proving to be very hard. It seems to me that it is more a mental frailty than any inherent weakness in his game.

no doubt,murray is the best serve and volley player today,a rare species in the current scenario of slam bang tennis.it is really surprising that he is not even in the wimbledon final, the surface of which is best suited for his game.as you have rightly said,what is required is one big break.lacking champion’s mind?the same phrase was used when edberg,in spite of oodles of talent failed to win a slam.the big one came and Stefan won everything except french,thanks! to the spoilsport? chang.let us hope that Murray too follows the footsteps of the great Sweede.

Ya, he cuts a forlorn figure every time he comes a cropper. I still think he’ll win a Grand Slam in the next couple of years. (maybe US Open this year, or Australian/US Open next year) And once he gets there, we can never quite tell how many will follow. But I agree, if it doesn’t flow in the next year or so, he could well call it quits.

I get the distinct feeling that if Murray does not win a Slam in the next year, he may be a premature retiree from the sport. He’s just not all up there in the mind and he needs to win to pull himself together.
