Federer def Murray....反覆不斷的出現
難道我應該要高興Murray終於有一次不是在大滿貫決賽被橫掃，終於拿下寶貴的一盤?
十年後，大家只記得冠軍，對英國人來說，沒有冠軍就是甚麼都沒有......
Big 4 一直都是一個很懸的問題，有些人總是很直接的覺得應該改成Big 3，甚至有些人覺得應該把Big 4中的Murray替換成del Potro，最大的原因理所當然就是因為----早早成名的Murray很穩定的卡在世界前四，但卻始終未能收獲一個大滿貫金杯，說句公道話，如果Murray不配在Big 4的行列，目前的del Potro應該也不夠格，因為他雖然有一次的大滿貫，但是他生涯也就只打進那麼一次決賽，相比之下，Murray好歹四次打進大滿貫決賽，加上大師賽等各項記錄，我相信目前的Murray還是比del Potro有資格進入四巨頭的行列。
但是如果說的是Big 3，我真的沒有辦法反駁，2011前是Big 2，不過Djokovic 2011的表現足以讓他完全沒有懸念的升到Big 3，甚至領銜。
今年的Djokovic很明顯的不像去年那麼神，回顧今年的比賽，3個大滿貫 1冠1亞1四強，大師賽也有 1冠2亞的表現，好啦~也還是算非常出色了，至於費納不用說了，他們在網壇已經稱霸很多年了。
重點回到Murray，我想整個網壇沒有人背負像Murray這麼大的壓力，身為溫布頓發源地的英國幾十年沒有人摘下大滿貫的桂冠，即便是溫布頓的決賽也是幾十年沒有人打進過，Murray就這樣身為"英國希望"背負著全英的大滿貫希望，其他的選手再怎麼樣，也都只是希望不要對不起球迷就好，Djokovic的Serbia(塞爾維亞)，只要看到他健康就已經心滿意足，其他的只會是越來越多的掌聲，但，Murray，不是。
很多人因為英國而喜歡上Murray，但我卻一度因為Murray而反感英國。
英國媒體的網球版面，基本上就是Andy Murray的專刊，這我絕對可理解，就像如果今天盧彥勳是排名前五的選手，台灣的媒體也一定是很完整的盧彥勳特寫板面，這個情況在Serbia、Switzerland或是Spain也一定都多多少少會發生，但是一次次的失利，英國媒體對Murray其實並不友善，在溫網的場邊，我們看到多少為Murray流淚鼓掌有風度的觀眾，但很可惜這不是全部，每一次的大滿貫決賽輸球，英國媒體就開始大肆批評Murray，從球技到心理，甚至諷刺他蘇格蘭人的身分，毫不保留的再一刀刺進Murray本來就已受傷脆弱的心。有人說:"越多的希望，越多的失望"，這是英媒的寫照，但是對於Murray來說，這些人本應該是最支持他的，在他受傷時，他們應該是他最大的安慰，結果，沒有，反而是被那群自己最愛的人傷的更深。
Murray真的沒有拿下大滿貫的能力嗎?翻開Murray的4次大滿貫決賽紀錄，3敗來自Federer，1敗來自Djokovic，在很多場合中，他都曾經擊敗過這兩位選手，在今天的比賽前Murray對Federer的H2H是領先的，而在對上Djokovic的澳網決賽前，是Murray的對戰3連勝。可以看得出來，他絕不是沒有能力擊敗他們，但是在大滿貫決賽的賽場上，他就是辦不到，甚至幾乎都是非常壓倒性的局面，實力擺在那裏，到現在卻還是甚麼都沒有。
再來談這場比賽，大家應該覺得Murray握有地主優勢，但是話說回來，在英國本土打球只會讓他承受更大的壓力，觀眾一波一坡的掌聲有時反而讓他心煩意亂。
開賽的第一盤其實Murray發揮的非常出色，壓制Federer，而且Federer自己也是一堆非受迫性失誤，順利的破發，拿下這一盤。當比賽進入二盤，Murray狀態依舊，但是幾個破發點拿不下來之後反而被Federer在最後一局破發了，在最後一局破發很狠，因為那表示著下一盤還有率先發球的機會，其實前兩盤我都會很直接的說:Murray真的打的比較好!!而如果那幾個破發點掌握住，把盤數變成2-0，我不認為Federer可以像R3逆轉Benneteau那樣擊敗Murray，Benneteau有很大的問題出在體力無法支撐，Murray球技遠非Benneteau可比不說，體力也不會比Federer差，2-0要逆轉，我還是不看好。
但是他就是沒掌握住，之後下雨關閉的中央球場特有的屋頂後，比賽的節奏就轉到了Federer這邊，一方面因為室內賽Federer拿手，另一方面Murray出現了一些身體上的不適有些拉傷的狀況，就像Murray賽後訪問所說的一樣 : 屋頂關閉造成比賽一定程度的影響，在場上的打球方是會有些許不同，而且在屋頂關閉後，Federer的發球明顯變的比前兩盤要要好上許多，而我自己則有些不適應，發球變差了。Federer在室內的表現一向極為出色，從美網後的室內賽就可以看出來，在2011室內賽的好戰績也是這周Federer取代Djokovic成為球王的主因。
Murray在賽後哭得很傷心，甚至在致詞幾度哽咽說不出話來，每一場的對手都說 : Murray將在不久的將來成為大滿貫冠軍!但是好多年來，他一步步的靠近大滿貫冠軍，卻又一次次的和他擦肩而過。我也希望他能在不久的將來拿下一座大滿貫冠軍，我也一直認為他可以，但我一次次的猶豫懷疑，還是希望今年的Murray就可以在美網封王。
賽後的訪問，鏡頭拍到很多當地球迷也是熱淚盈眶，Murray每一次哽咽無法說話，後面就傳來了更大的掌聲，這一刻，不是英國人的我也哽咽了，或許，這些永遠支持他的球迷是Murray到現在一直拼下去的動力，他真的已經盡力了，附上這段讓我感動的賽後訪問
這個是有網友推薦給我有配樂的版本，比原本的更催淚
這一次的溫網就在一陣嘆息中結束了，最後貼上新聞留念
It's tough, but I didn't give it away stupidly, says gallant loser Murray
By MIKE DICKSON |
In the end, when the tears had subsided, Andy Murray could only console himself with one thought: 'I'm getting closer.'
Another thought was that he had just lost to a player who, amazingly, has managed to overtake Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic and reclaim the world No 1 position, which he will now hold for long enough to overtake the 286 weeks of Pete Sampras.
‘That’s the best I’ve played in a Slam final,’ said Murray, who has now lost four of them and who broke down briefly when interviewed by BBC’s Sue Barker in the immediate aftermath of the final. He had asked to be excused the convention of parading his runner-up salva around the arena.
‘This is very tough but it wasn’t like I gave away stupid games and stuff. I played a good match. I made pretty good decisions for the most part so I’m happy with that.
‘I felt more comfortable this morning and before the match than I had done in previous Slam finals, but it’s still very disappointing.
‘If I wasn’t emotional I guess I’m probably in the wrong sport. When the roof closed he played unbelievable tennis.’
Murray was asked if he saw a comparison with basketball superstar LeBron James, one of his sporting heroes, who took an age before winning an NBA Championship this year with Miami Heat after nine years.
‘Maybe I’m in a similar situation right now. When you lose it doesn’t get any easier. I think he said after he lost the NBA finals last year that he’s having to go through a lot of nightmares before he reaches his dream.
‘You need to try and show strength of character to come back from it and hopefully then one day you get there.’
Despite having turned 25, Murray still believes he is getting better and that one day he will be able to emulate Fred Perry and end Britain’s 76-year wait for a Grand Slams singles champion.
While the toll of the pressure finally told in his emotional prizegiving speech, when he needed a minute to compose himself, he expressed pride in the way he had handled the extreme focus that falls upon him in the big fortnight.
‘It’s not an easy tournament for British players in many ways, but I think I dealt with all the extra things away from the tournament pretty well - definitely better than I have done in the past,’ he said.
‘It was my first time in a Wimbledon final, I’ve played three semi-finals before so I’m still improving, still working, still playing better tennis and that’s all I can do.’
He thanked the crowd who had abandoned their usual fondness for Federer to cheer him on and those who had queued all night just for the privilege of watching on Henman Hill/Murray Mound.
‘It makes such a difference having their support, I’d like to thank them for their dedication, I’m just sorry I couldn’t do it for them.’
And then there was Federer, the Swiss genius who still dedicates himself to winning titles, even when he has smashed so many records.
Murray added: ‘We’re talking about one of the greatest athletes in any sport of all time, so you’ve got to put it in context a bit. He could be sitting on 20 Grand Slams already if it wasn’t for the odd point or a few inches here and there in recent close matches. He’s still playing great tennis and he deserves it.’
Federer paid tribute to Murray and when he tipped him to win a Grand Slam eventually, he insisted it was not just out of sympathy.
‘I think Andy’s giving himself so many looks at the big titles, and I really do believe deep down that he will win Grand Slams and not just one. This is genuine. He works extremely hard and is as professional as you can be,’ said the 30-year-old Swiss.
‘I really do believe and hope for him that he wins one.’
Federer thinks there could be other majors he himself can win, even though he turns 31 next month.
‘I’m so happy the age I am now. I’ve had a great run and I know there’s more possible. I’m at a very stable place in my life.
‘The victory today and getting back to No1 is a dream come true for me and my family. Trying to juggle everything hasn’t been easy but I think I’m playing some of the best tennis of my life right now.’
Federer’s record-equalling seventh Wimbledon singles title was his first in a Grand Slam since he beat Murray to win the Australian Open in 2010.
He said of his barren spell: ‘I see it more as a stepping stone, a period I had to go through as well. To win 90 per cent of my matches throughout the year is impossible every single year. So you’re always going to go through ups and downs.
‘But I knew how close I was for the last few years, and some people didn’t quite see that maybe for different reasons. But I knew and I think the belief got me to victory today.
‘I think I have played some of my best tennis in the last two matches. It’s worked out here that I have played my best tennis in the semis and the final. I couldn’t be more happy. It feels so familiar (to win) and it’s a great moment.
‘It equals me with Pete (Sampras) who is my hero. And the world No 1 ranking, they don’t get gifted to you.’
Murray will now take some time off before turning his attention to his next event which will be the Olympics back at Wimbledon, an event starting in 20 days.
‘The Olympics is a special event and I want to make sure I’m ready,’ he added. ‘If I play like I did this week I have a good chance of winning a medal.’
Murray’s former coach Mark Petchey believes the only way his former charge could have seen off Federer was to get the job done quickly. He told Sky Sports News: ‘Once Roger got himself out of a bit of a hole in the second set, it was going to be a long road back. The longer it went on, the more it was going to benefit him because Andy has been on court four hours longer (in the tournament), plus the emotional strain of trying to win your first Grand Slam.’
