Obviously disappointed that Andy got knocked out of US Open, but am actually more disappointed in the fact that he seemed completely unable to bring his A game to the party last night.
I think even Andy would admit that his performance was woeful.
I'm also pretty concerned that it's being put down to post Wimbledon slump, I would have thought Ivan Lendl would have been making sure that wasn't an issue.
Having said all that, Andy has been hugely consistent over last 18 months and everyone is entitled to a bad day at the office from time to time and Andy really does not have many of those.
What was great to see was that he admitted his faults and also had no reservations on praising his opponent for playing great tennis, something that was conspicously absent from Fed when talking about Robredo.
Andy has always worked hard at trying to improve, I look forward to seeing him kick on even harder and make a big impact at Aus Open.
In the meantime, many congratulations to Wawrinka who fully deserves a semi final place, I hope he can maintain that form and even though I'm a big fan of Nole's I would be more than happy to see Stan in the final.
Looking forward to a final couple of days of great tennis now!

Andy needs to go away and reevaluate his goals. He needs to look at playing every tournament to win. He was wining masters titles or fun a few years back, now he uses them for warm up events for GS which is no good. He needs to play tournament to tournament, not GS to GS !

I agree lads. he simply has to up his intensity throughout the year
as i said alluded to in an earlier post Nadal plays every match as though it would kill him to lose. Andy is always portrayed as a competitive animal who detests losing at anything
Time to show is this Andy

That's right, to win you don't just have to love winning, you have to bloody hate losing, which Nadal certainly does, as does Djokovic
