Watching Andy before playing against Rodger gave me the feeling that 2010 was Andy's year. Andy Murray played real "cool, calm and collected" leading up to the finals. I guess this is one of the reasons I like tennis. When playing someone at your level....and you know you have more weapons, but you loose. So,when practicing the physical part of the game, there is a need to practice the mental part of the game as well. Thanks Brian Brian,

Being 70 and still real quick it pays off when I remember to come in! I guess I need someone their to remind me! Very good critique!

Thank you. Andy obviously has some emotional issues he needs to overcome. If he had played Roger the way he played Nadal I believe the outcome would have been different. Thank you for insight and instruction - it has certainly helped my game. Great analysis! Thank you. Andy obviously has some emotional issues he needs to overcome.

I think Andy needs to learn how to play in the zone letting his monkey brain take control and manage him while hitting on the court. I would encourage you to give us a little more mental techniques we can use as teaching pros and players to help minimize the problems of stress regarding stroke production, serving, and focus. Tim, PS. I will be watching for more help!! Thanks for your analysis of the match.

Andy WAS playing scared...scared of losing. He was reacting instead of acting. If he had played the other matches like this he would never have made it to the final. Against Federer you have to play higher risk tennis. I don't see anybody beating him by playing only smart tennis. You have to play smart tennis mixed in with some low percentage BIG shots to create big openings.... Rafael Your analysis is dead on! Andy WAS playing scared…scared of losing.

Thanks, Brian, for such wonderful lessons, which I will not hesitate to integrate them into my game.

He was doing so good until the final. He should have attacked the net more often and he needed to be explosive on some shots. When I watched the game I was like, Omg, I could beat him. When he could have hit a winner down the line, he hits a short inside-out ball that federer runs around. Also, Andy needs to smile more often when he plays.
