Even if Murray had beaten Nadal,the way Djokovic wiped the floor with him today Murray would have been lucky to win a few games.5 wins in a row for Novac against Nadal.Now we have Federer not able to beat Nadal,Nadal not able to beat Djokovic and Murray not able to beat any of the other 3

Feel a bit sorry for Murray....After the last of this year's Grand Slams, I think its fair to say that the above situation is about right.

The frustrating thing is that Murray is pretty much head and shoulders above those below him....His record of 1 final and 3 semi final appearances in this year's Slam's are an indication that but for the presence of 2 top class players such as Djokovic and Nadal (and that's in any era), Murray would be building a decent record of his own.

I'm not sure of the answer for Murray...Unless he has a dramatic Djokovic-style improvement in him in the next 12-18 months, then it looks like Murray may be set for a career of playing the eternal semi finalist, or whipping boy finalist, when one of the big hitters has an off day and fails to make the final.

Nice to see the Williams family collective chip on the shoulder rearing its ugly, man-sized head again.

I'm just surprised she didn't throw in the "is it coz I is black" line to cap it off.

The 'You're unattractive inside' comment was the best, cracking insult

To be fair to Serena, if anyone should have an understanding of what it's like to be unattractive it's her.

Like a transexual weightlifter on steroids...

Are we all geared up for the big Davis Cup clash then - GB v Hungary?

It gives an idea of how far British tennis has fallen that Andy Murray is going to be up against a player who gave up the ATP Tour to concentrate on his law studies and currently has no world ranking.
