[Start da Game]

i don't think his problem is "giving respect".....his problem has been his agitated mentality and lendl has sorted it out almost completely.....watch him manage to win a slam even with this current forehand.....he has finally found a way to win a hardcourt slam, its only a matter of time before he wins one.....i say it happens in one of the next 4 hardcourt slams.....

he has won several masters 1000s, so the focus now lies elsewhere i.e., at the slams.....i don't think he will try too hard for miami either.....if he happens to find himself in a semifinal there, then he might fight for the title.....

RESPECT.

Yea, Fed, Nadal and Nole are all still playing and trying to get the title, while Murray has bigger fish to fry? That makes a lot of sense.

My say: Murray should stop playing singles and compete for GS doubles titles with Jamie.

He would still choke .

Nadal respecting Federer doesn't seem to have damaged his propects

Murray is a great player no doubt and I don't think this is his problem.

He gives too much respect to Federer and Nadal. I have a feeling that once he steps on the Court with them he starts somehow playing submissively and below par.

Once he removes from his mind about the Aura of Federer and Nadal he can play onm equal terms with them and beat them on important stages of a Tournament, which has been his bane so far.

This is exactly what happened to Nole these last years. He didn't believe he was as good as them so he unconsciously submitted to them. In 2008 he thought he would be the next number 1 and he played a fearless game, and was confident and brash enough to defy Federer on and off court, he had that young brash careless attitude. Showing too much admiration or respect is wrong.

One thing is to show respect off court and another on court. Nadal has never shown too much respect or appear to be in awe when playing Federer, he has felt superior to him a lot of times, confident with his chances. And anyway he does this with every other player too.

And let's not forget how lucky Djokovic, Nadal and Federer were in their 1st Grand Slam:

Federer gets Mark Philippoussis, ranked 48. His 2nd he gets Marat Safin, ranked 96th.
Nadal gets Mariano Puerta, ranked 37th.
Djokovic gets Tsonga, ranked 38th.

Murrays gets anywhere near as much luck as them and he'd have 3+ slams by now.

now this is what is termed clarity... pure and simple...

such a rare commodity on mtf

[Naudio Spanlatine]

Rafa was the first to challenge Fed, then Nole and now Murray. Its plain and simple guys Murrays head is full of tragic woes that needs to be fixed.

[BIGMARAT]

so much of Murray please!!! HE IS JUST SIMPLY the fourth best player now and will ever be as long as those 3 play.

Murray didn't seem overwhelmed while beating Federer in the 2010 Shanghai final, or bagelling Nadal in Tokyo. He was cool as a cucumber. His problem doesn't come from his attitude towards other players, but from how he feels about himself.

Yep.
