Murray tanks WTF for Aus Open....Lollll

[felangey]

Murray: "I'm gutted, but the Australian Open is only 7 weeks away, why ruin
my preparation for that?".

No wonder Fed sometime has contempt for these powder puffs. They blow away
in the wind.

Links?

This is totally pathetic. He should not have entered in the first
place if his injury was a serious enough one.
These top guys today and their entering and retiring from tournaments
like it is some kind of game is just awful.

He won't win the AO. I just feel he does not have it in him to win a
slam with his attitude. I will only believe otherwise if he actually
wins one.

Originally it came through via Piers Newbery on twitter...but the story is
breaking to all the main outlets now.

Well this certainly doesn't release pressure from winning. If the news
is correct.

...and it is:

Not sure if he mentioned AO though.

Sucks.

[TT]

Yeah, on ATP main page.

He did cite an injury.

[Court_1]

So what. The point is he started a tournament in which he cannot
finish. If the injury was so grave he would not have entered and
played. This is very unbecoming of a number 3 in the world.

[TT]

That's ridiculous.

You try playing few hours against Ferrer...

Murray lets his tennis do the walking.

Murray's pullout is especially rich after his big talk re: meeting
Federer.
Well, he won't have to back that up now..

Gotta love it.

Not at all. He didn't quit because of Federer, Fed is on other group...

I thought his initial comment re Federer was appropriate.

It's unbecoming of a player of any rank to drop out of a tournament with an
exaggerated story of an injury. I don't know whether that's the case with
Murray this time but it wouldn't surprise me. He has tanked his fair share
of matches this year, but it requires a lot more effort to do that in the
round-robin portion of this tournament.

What this portends for Murray in 2012 is likely more of the same --
some shining moments, but not when history is on the line.

Thinking of Tipsy -- I seem to recall there was a replacement player
who made it to the YEC semis at least once in the past, but don't
remember details.

Anyone remember which player (if any) pulled that off?

Did you notice Murray suddenly developed all these injuries around the time
the new CoD was released ? Coincidence ? I think not.

[Wile E.]

Since when is "I'm gutted" considered a tank? Doubtfull that Murray
would tank and pass up an opportunity to possibly win.

Not true. He lets his tennis do the talking. His tennis says, "I stink
worse than the biology project my mom has had in the refrigerator since
I was just a lad on her knee."
