Murray bowing out after a rather disjointed display against Dimitrov. He seemed to by struggling physically, not sure if he’s carrying that groin strain, but not really able to mount a proper challenge. Dimitrov was decent to be fair.
Murray seems to struggle to put away points. His defence is great and he can grind opponents down but he doesn’t seem to have the power anymore to finish points off. 500TORQUES said:
A lesson in not being cocky for the Spanish youngster there, totally out thought in that match.
As soon as he started to showboat and spin his racket around his head in the first set mid way through, like he had this match easily, i knew he was toast.
Forgot that match was happening today. As soon as he started to showboat and spin his racket around his head in the first set mid way through, like he had this match easily, i knew he was toast.
Another Slam for Novak then?

I can't think of a less cocky top tennis player on tour. He is super humble. As soon as he started to showboat and spin his racket around his head in the first set mid way through, like he had this match easily, i knew he was toast.
I don't know what you mean by showboating and spin his racket. Do you mean his follow through?

I can't make you see, i just commented on what i saw him do. You don't have to agree Nick.

I don't disagree with you. I am simply surprised by your assertion that one of the most humble players around would showboat and even more surprised about the "spinning the racquet around his head" thing (which sounds very much like his follow through). Was he doing that between points or during points or between games? I didn't notice it but you might be right? Basically what do you mean? Tell me more, that we will save watching the first set again ;-).I can't make you see, i just commented on what i saw him do. You don't have to agree Nick.

I'm buggered if I'm going to watch it again myself to give you a time stamp.
You don't need to. Just tell me what you mean, as politely asked above. Surely you have seen the showboating so it shouldn't be tricky to clarify what you mean about the spinning racquet.
