Andy Murray Is Very Overrated Upset In The Fourth Round Of US OPEN!!!

Once again, Andy Murray of Great Britain has proven he is very mentally weak in the grand slams. Murray opened his big mouth prior to the US OPEN saying he will can break the Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal dominance.

John McEnroe the CBS commentator predicted prior to the US OPEN that Andy Murray or Andy Roddick will win the US OPEN. McEnroe is once again wrong! Murray and Roddick have both proven they are not “serious” contenders to win the grand slams. Roddick and Murray have been elminiated from the US OPEN.

Marin Cilic of Croatia upset second seed Andy Murray 7-5 6-2 6-2 in the fourth round today it is a “shocking upset”. Murray had the best form leading into the US OPEN yet today he had no answers on the court.

Murray is just too “passive” and not “aggressive” enough during the grand slams he gets “tight” in the important matches.

I am not surprised, Murray also  lost to Fernando Verdasco of Spain  at the Australian Open in the fourth round earlier this year. Murray also  lost to Andy Roddick in the semifinals of Wimbledon this year.

Fernando Gonzalez of Chile defeated Jo Wilfried Tsonga of France 3-6 6-3 7-6 6-4 that result is a “minor upset”. Gonzalez is a solid player and consistent in the grand slams. Gonzalez has never won a slam but he is very consistent in the grand slams.

Tsonga is talented, but he hasn’t proven he is a “real” contender the hype must stop! Tsonga had “one” big result, he  was the finalist in the 2008 Australian Open.

Tsonga has  reached the top ten, won the Paris Masters last fall, and reached a couple  of grand slam fourth round and quarterfinals. I just don’t “feel” that Tsonga has proven he is “ready” to be part of the elite.

In order for Tsonga to be an “elite” player, he has to prove he can reach another grand slam semifinal or final.Tsonga is too talented to be losing in the fourth round or quarterfinals of the grand slams.

Andy Murray is in the same place as Tsonga despite his higher ranking.  Murray has now proven he is an “underachiever”. Although Murray was a finalist at the 2008 US OPEN last year, he hasn’t done anything “since” in the grand slams.  The media proclaimed that 2009 was supposed to be “Murray’s” big breakthrough.

It is obvious Murray is mentally fragile, he isn’t handling the pressure very well.

Meanwhile,Juan Martin Del Potro continues to advance he  smashed Juan Carlos Ferrero of Spain 6-3 6-3 6-3.

The third seed Rafael Nadal of Spain turned back Gael Monfils of France 6-7 6-3 6-1 6-3.

Murray has won so many hard court events this year including two hard court Masters events in Miami and Montreal. In fact,  Murray has also beaten Nadal, Federer, Del Porto, and Roddick this year.

I am sure the media will make “excuses” for Murray’s “capitulation” but the truth is Murray has “doubt” in his mind. Murray was supposed to reach the finals of the US OPEN and to lose in the fourth round demonstrates his lack of mental toughness.
