This is surely one of the worst serving performances of Andy's career? And that's saying something...

Hey TF7. I really thought your guy was going to make this competitive after the way he demolished the Berd.

Yeah but something seems to have upset him before the match and everyone knows about Andy's mystical inability to clear his mind in big matches.

Sadly I haven't seen any of the positives this week due to the hours it's been on...

Did you hear anything on social media??

Yes the time difference has made this tourney feel like a mini Australian Open.

It's kind of embarrassing, isn't it? I know I keep banging the same drum, but get rid of the team - NOW! It's an epic fail...

No but late in the first set he was doing an immature imitation of someone and shouting something about 20 minutes before the match and 'help me you idiot' or words to that effect, suggesting it was something to do with either his team or one of the tournament staff.

If that's the case then the fella is highly inflammable, to put it mildly. Why do things throw him off so wildly? Suck it up, son, and be a pro... :dodgy:

You realize he talks to himself quite often ? :D Most likely directing all his bile at himself.

That's not good. :nono Could also be some of the stress coming into such a big match. There should be someone on the team who has that ability to defuse the situation. Maybe that's what Mauresmo helped bring to the table.

I think the main thing she brought to the table was Headlines. Usually about herself... :dodgy:

That offensive lob was sweet... gave Novak a little taste of his own medicine. :snicker

Well, Murray equalled Nadal's 4 games won against Novak in Beijing. Can he improve on 4? Probably not.

This is it, and why I maintain that you can't blame the team, it's all on him to sort out his attitude but if he hasn't done it by now I don't see that he ever will.

In fairness, Novak was always going to win this match, but i thought Andy would do a lot better. Like, 2 games better... :snicker

Nice way to drill the match point. Mighty impressive by Novak today.
