If anyone's been listening to my commentary the past year then they know I'm in favor of using replay. I think it will make tennis more interesting.
A lot of time there is hype and people talking about players when deep down they know it's not going to happen but Murray is really capable of being a great player. He has a way of keeping you off balance and a real feel for the game. Mentally he's proved to be pretty tough and his body has grown as well recently. He plays hard, shows a lot of emotion and is a breath of fresh air. Just the type of player tennis needs.
It's been predictable, in the sense of 'expect the unexpected'.
Let's hope his nerves will run through his veins.
If you want to be a tennis player, then mould yourself on Roger Federer. I won three Wimbledon titles and I wish I could play like him.
There's too much money and too many nice guys around.
Tennis is a funny game; unbelievable highs and the lows are just as low.
Borg's won Wimbledon four straight times and out there he has just lost an 18-16 tie breaker. You'd think maybe once he'd let up and say forget it. But oh, no way.
I want to be remembered as a great player, but I guess it will be as a player who got angry on a tennis court.
This [defeat] has taught me a lesson, but I'm not sure what it is.
What is the single most important quality in a tennis champion? I would have to say desire, staying in there and winning matches when you are not playing that well.
We all choke. Winners know how to handle choking better than losers.
That's one of the best sets I've seen him play, although I should preface that by saying I haven't seen him play before.
It would be more interesting, more exciting, if a player lost a point if wrong on the second challenge. It would make the player think before challenging. Particularly in a tie-breaker where every point counts.
