Murray time
Andy Murray
Kevin Mitchell in the Guardian writes an excellent piece as he analyzes the significance of the game tommorow between Federer and Murray. While most have gone overboard harping on the alleged slight by Federer, Kevin eschews hyperbole and goes about it in a balanced view. Some excerpts:
When titles and ATP rankings Âaccumulate, when one plane journey blurs into another, what matters most to the elite players is the respect of their peers. Murray wants that from Federer – and it has not been given unreservedly just yet
What everyone fails to realize is that Fed is feeling the heat as well. While there is prior history between the two, Murray tends to get into Federer’s head a little and that probably explains an extra spurt of snideness from.
There is a vivid sense that, although Federer says he feels less pressure than Murray in this final, that might not be entirely true. This will not be his last slam, far from it; it could, though, be the one that will be remembered as the match in which Murray landed the first proper punch on him.
