Awful start from Murray. It's not as though Dimitrov is doing anything spectacular.
Watched from 1-1 in the 1st set and I don't think Dimitrov missed a single groundstroke in that set.
An outstanding performance.
And then he kept it going and din't blink. Well done to him.
Murray looked like he was a bit 'off' right from the start but as ever, was his mediocre performance (by his standards) down to his biorythmns (or the like) being off, or the relentless pressure created by Dimitrov?
Probably a bit of both but more the latter than the former.
Think people are being a bit OTT about him being "finished" and doing post mortems
On the two occasions Murray won majors, Verdasco and Cilic should have dumped him out- there's always a horror show somewhere from Murray
Interestingly had he fluked the second set and then actually somehow won he may well have gone on to win it out!! But that's tennis.
USO is a write off surely but gain points at end of year and get a good seeding for AO and who knows. There's still more majors to be won, motivation could be an issue though

Not that I don't want Andy to win more majors, but an end to the era of the big four dominance might be overdue.
Djokovic in trouble as well..

He must be in serious danger of dropping out the top 10 now nevermind making the Tour finals.
It's almost like Roger's being given a free run to an 18th title. Hopefully not, as I couldn't stand the lovefest from all and sundry.
Grigor winning wouldn't be so bad, though I daresay the media hype could get grating.

WHUT? he is at least an 8/10
btw ...... Your hair looks better without any of the GMTV gel in it Andrew! ;-)
#9 is the current projection. Could be worse if Dimitrov gets to the final/wins.
Number 8 perhaps ..... ?
And number 18!
