there is a problem. he had 2 days off before the final….
then he was feeling his quadriceps then his lower back. he was grimacing in pain.
and his team and the press make a great play on his supreme fitness????
the life of a tennis player is short, you can’t wait around for better times. he played a nadal who got injured then a tired cilic. who’s to say he won’t have a more demanding run at the next slams? at us open final 2008
he was frowning because of knee pain!
i think hes a great natural player but not a natural athlete. he’s been built up into something he’s not.

I honestly don’t think there is a problem with murray’s fitness and I don’t think a change of coach would benefit him whatsoever.
Murray is playing fantastic tennis. alright, he lost a grand slam final to the greatest player of all time but where is the problem there?
He is comfortable with his current team and that is half the battle. Andy’s game is at a stage where there is little he can do technically, all his problems are obvious to us and him. If he has a bad trot in the next year or so then yes, he should think about bringing someone else in but when he is in the form of his life? why rock the boat

he needs a new physical trainer and/or physio.
he looked exhausted against wawrinka at wimbledon when he went 5 sets. he looked exhausted against federer at 2-3 in the first set!!!! i knew the match was over then. his trainers have built up his physique…..
this is tennis not rugby or boxing. sampras, agassi, borg,mcenroe,federer they’re all skinny guys. if you curry the muscles the body will break down. look at muster and now nadal. murray looks overtrained and id like to know how many top tennis )not sports) players his fitness trainer has worked with? My guess..a big fat 0.
