Andys tactics against the big boys
(Preview)
Does anybody else get frustrated the way Andy plays against jocky,fed and rafa? He uses the same counter punching style every time that rarely works.

Hmmm. Not the easiest first round, though unless Andy has got out of bed on the wrong side, he should be OK. Route to the final, though to be honest I will be surprised if he gets there: Dubai is Fed/Djoko territory R1: Gilles MullerR2: James McGee(WC)/Joao Sousa (The Portugese one)QF: David Goffin/Ma...

I was trying to figure out Andy's chances. As far as I know he's playing a 250 now and has a 500 and 1000 to come. Is this correct, or has he got more tournies to play too? Below is the scenario according to http://live-tennis.eu/race. For me it's not looking too hopeful  Pos.Player NameCtryPtsMoved...

Is Andy Murray suffering from "I have made it syndrome "

Has the monumental effort to win Wimbledon taken its toll and the level of desire and indeed sacrifice required no longer realistic ? It might be subconscious but breaking up a winning formula was not the smartest move !

Since no one has done of these yet I thought I might as well. If one of the mods could make it "sticky" it would be helpful I am assuming that Andy will play all Grand Slams and Masters Series events although I suppose he might skip Monte Carlo if he wants to minimise his time on clay. 30 December...
