Fair enough - I was actually making an intelligent point though which sadly seems to have passed you completely by.
Brophs pointed out above that the majority of tennis experts would concur with his views on Murray.
There is also a consensus in British tennis that the view which I believe you espouse - namely that failing to win a Grand Slam equates to a failed career - is what is harming the game in the UK. This attitude is so prevalent in the UK press, especially the tabloids, that it increases the pressure on athletes, and leads to uninformed members of the public - you are a perfect example - assuming that athletes who are actually extremely successful are let downs, failures and losers who failed to fulfill their potential.
I'm sorry, but you've displayed this attitude here and in your thread on Darren Fletcher and John O'Shea...
I'm just trying to point out to you that it is all too easy for you to sit at your computer spouting off your appraisals of athletes, declaring them failures - when you should actually STFU and realise how successful they are.
I don't hold out any hope in you actually realising this - and I'll admit I'm using you to get my point across to some extent - but I think the point is extremely valid - that is that in this country we do not recognise, celebrate and support our talent to the same extent that many other countries do.
