Now that everybody is talking about how much they love Murray, it is easy to forget how little a lot of them used to like him. The spotlight was pretty unforgiving and it must have seemed as if everyone watching — the public and the press — was picking at him, or on him. They called him boring. They said he was a whinger and a hypochondriac which seems particularly absurd now when you think of the beating he has put his body through , that he spent too much time griping about his aches and pains, that he always had someone, or something, else to blame.
More than that, Murray just seemed too rough, rude and surly for the Wimbledon set, with their garden party airs and graces and starchy expectations about how a tennis player is supposed to behave. Middle England was a tough crowd for an ornery young Scot and his manner upset the snobs. He was always swearing on court, at himself and everyone else. Even when he won his first grand slam title, the US Open in , he cursed a blue streak while he was doing it.
Murray apologised for the language but he never apologised for being himself. You need to make sure that you stay true to yourself. That attitude has served him well. Blake Roberts September 29, Views 0. Save Saved Removed 0.
We will be happy to hear your thoughts. Leave a reply Cancel reply. I can compete at the top level. Murray was not shy to let everyone know that he can compete with the best and that's only natural after many questioned whether he will ever be able to play high-level tennis again.
Speaking on the event in particular Murray said:. I want to keep it going now. If I want to move back up the rankings and have good runs in tournaments again, I need to win these matches.
