His record is 3 - Grand slams 2 - Olympic golds 11 - Grand slam final appearances Stan's record is 3 - Grand Slams 4 - Grand Slam Final appearances. If I was to look at ATP titles won between the 2, Murray is streets ahead. 11 Grand slam final appearances in the era of Federer, Nadal and Djokovic is unreal.

Thats the way you think of these things, dammit I should go into coaching :P

And you can see them start to focus inwards and think about what went wrong. A lot of the younger ones seem to just throw tantrums when it doesn't go their way. Murray was also a huge example of this, constantly moaning and looking up to mammy in the box. It really held him back. Nole can be guilty of it too at times, but he seems to be able to push through it.

Yesterday they made sure to repeat Federer's match which i'm fine with as he's the defending champion. i might have missed the highlights but i've been checking every hour or so and still no sign of highlights of the world number 1 player, Wimbledon and US Open champion. Is Eurosport just too biased or what?? and don't get me started on the Rolex ads, not a single mention of 6 time winner djokovic!!!
