Andy Murray is invariably crest-fallen when he loses. I'm glad that Oli is being positive, but I guess I expected a bit more, a bit sooner (this is tournament #3 and country #3 post comeback), especially against mid ranking opponents, and perhaps a less philosophical commentary. Dominic Thiem was out for 8 weeks and has gone Final, Win in his first 2 $10ks. So it is doable.......I don't see the difference.

Oli was US Open Junior champ, 2011 world junior #3, trained with Andy last winter, and got a Wimbledon MD WC last year at 18, so I dont think its unreasonable to have expected a few more "signs" of moving to the next level by now. He's a big unit physically, so I don't think he would be one of those David Goffin types who need a good few years to be competitive physically on tour, and I guess I expected to have seen a few more notable scalps.

Come on Oli, would love you to start making a few people sit up and take notice.
