British Hopes of Winning Wimbledon dashed
The usual “hype” that follows British tennis players around in south west London, is over again until next time. Andy Murray was simply not allowed to play by Nadal, who systematically took him apart. Andy will get better and stronger and looks (to me at any rate) a better prospect than Tim Henman. The only difference I can see is that Tim could play two 5 setters in 3 days and not look tired. Murray looked tired, but was this, as the commentators suggested, failure to recover from beating Gasquet two days before? I think there was a hint of nerves and awe of his opponent. In my younger days playing badminton, it was often the case that in the spotlight of a key tournament, up against a far superior player, I felt a strange kind of exhaustion. I think it was a fear of being humiliated in front of crowd. Despite Andy Murray’s talk of him being capable of winning Wimbledon, he knew he was on a hiding to nothing. Tension led to him making too many unforced errors, he had his chances, but failed to capitalise. Even Nadal suggests Murray will be in the top 5 soon, and can only improve. At 21 he has plenty of time to build on the achievement of reaching a quarter final. Nadal, I feel, will beat Federer in the final this time. He seems so relentless and powerful. |
