Q. Your thoughts on that?
ANDY MURRAY: That wasn't good. Uhm, returned, got to be up there with the
worst this year that I've returned. That was really not good. I never missed
so many second serve returns, especially off my backhand. Uhm, just struggled.
I mean, I thought I served okay in parts. Served a couple doubles in the
tiebreak which wasn't good. But, uhm, yeah, slightly disappointing after the
way I played on Saturday.
Q. You kind of started off sluggishly. Did you feel a little leaden footed in
the early stages?
ANDY MURRAY: No, it's hard to explain. I mean, I came off, I'm obviously
disappointed with the way that I played. Uhm, I just didn't feel good the
whole match. I tried to kind of get myself going in the third set, and was
obviously a break up in the second. Played a bad service game to get broken
back, I think. I was Love 30 on service game to go maybe a double break up.
And, you know, just didn't happen. I hardly got myself into any rallies,
which is normally what I do best. You know, when you're making so many
mistakes and missing so many returns, it's difficult to win the match.
Q. Early on in the match you seemed as though you twinged something in your
back. The fact that you were thinking about that, was that making it hard
then to get into the match?
ANDY MURRAY: No, I mean, it was just a little bit stiff at the start. And
then after the first set, started to ease off, and it wasn't affecting my
movement on my serve really. It was just uncomfortable. But, yeah, I mean, it
wasn't really a problem.
Q. I mean, he played pretty well. He presents a lot more problems in some ways
than Roddick, it seemed. Did you feel that?
ANDY MURRAY: Uhm, I don't want to take anything away from him, you know.
Obviously, he beat me in three sets. But I didn't feel like I put up any
resistance today. Definitely didn't deserve to win the match. I didn't get
myself into enough of his service games. I didn't, you know, create too many
chances for myself, and therefore lost comfortably. You know, I think Roddick,
having been to the final twice, you know, he's definitely, you've got to say,
has a better record obviously on grass than Baghdatis. I mean, Baghdatis,
obviously he maybe moves a bit better. He's solid off both sides, whereas
Roddick has got the big forehand but maybe his backhand is weaker. But,
I mean, I don't think it posed to many you can't say that he posed more of a
threat than Roddick.
Q. Did you feel any extra pressure because against Roddick you're the out and
out underdog, maybe Baghdatis, people were thinking it was...
ANDY MURRAY: I thought I was the underdog today. Wasn't didn't feel any extra
pressure. Uhm, I didn't feel nervous during the match. Just I was just
struggling to get myself going. Very difficult to explain. I don't know
exactly what happened. It's happened a couple of times before, and I need to
try to cut matches like that out, especially in Grand Slams, because that's
where you want to play your best tennis and you want to play better as the
two weeks progress. Obviously, today I played, you know, 10 times worse than
on Saturday.
Q. You said a couple times before. I mean, are you talking about Davydenko
in Australia?
ANDY MURRAY: Chela in Australia. Yeah, I mean, that's definitely another one.
You know, it's happened. Didn't really happen to me last year. It's happened,
you know, there. Tipsarevic match maybe was a little bit like that. I can't
not sure exactly why it happens. I think, uhm, you know, when I find myself a
coach and I can speak about how I'm feeling, someone who's got experience of
probably working with players that have felt like that, you get someone that
can pump you up, motivate you, try and get you in the right frame of mind.
And I felt great, you know, in my matches before this one. I didn't feel bad
going into it. I thought I had a good chance of winning. To go out and time
the ball like I did today was not good.
Q. It seemed as you were almost trying to use bad line calls to pump you up.
Even that didn't work.
ANDY MURRAY: You know, I got, I mean, what I thought was a bad call on
breakpoint in the second. I think it was the second set. You know, if I'd got
that, you know, maybe I could have got myself into...
Q. Second game of the third set.
ANDY MURRAY: Second game of the third set, yeah. You get yourself in front,
especially when you're serving, and you can take a 3 Love, 4 1 lead, you're
favored to go on and win the set on grass. I was a little bit disappointed. I
asked him why on grass, how do you judge when a ball hits a line or not. He
said, 'cause the chalk comes up. I said, did you see any chalk on that one.
He said, No. I was like, where is your consistency. So I'm a little bit
disappointed with that. But I'm sure it wouldn't have made a huge difference
because I was playing that poorly.
Q. Were you happy with the support you received from the crowd? Did you feel
it could have been stronger?
ANDY MURRAY: Definitely not their fault. They were great to me in all my
matches. Absolutely no problem with how they were. I think it's difficult to
get excited or get yourself really into a match when you've got someone who's
giving you nothing to shout about and is making so many mistakes, no rallies,
no really good quality shots that, you know, I'd been hitting in my matches
before. So definitely no problem with them.
Q. Is it a feeling, a flat feeling, when you were going, you know, in the
match? Is it just a sort of flat feeling?
ANDY MURRAY: No, it's just, you know, I mean everybody knows what I do best:
I get myself into a lot of return games, you know, I don't mistakes on
second, third shots, I get myself into a lot of rallies. Then, today, second
serve returns, which is, you know, normally make 95%, and I'm hitting them
three meters wide of the tram line, mis hitting it. It's just not like me.
Making mistakes, basic errors in the middle of the court, missing ground
strokes that I don't normally miss. It's not a flat feeling; just no
consistency. Just so erratic.
Q. How did you feel before you came out, in the dressing room?
ANDY MURRAY: No, if you can't get yourself up for a fourth round of a Grand
Slam, then you shouldn't be playing tennis. That definitely wasn't the
problem.
Q. Are you good at working this kind of result out of your system?
ANDY MURRAY: Yeah, I think I've done that in all of my other, you know when I
played like that in other matches. In Australia, I had one more tournament
after that, I lost to Ljubicic in three sets, then obviously I won in San Jose.
Yeah, I think it will get out of my system. Best thing to do is go play a
tournament as soon as possible, go win some matches, and then you start to
forget about it. No point in thinking too much about the match or letting it
drag on, because I've got a long, long summer ahead of me.
Q. When you look back at this, it will still be satisfaction, won't it?
ANDY MURRAY: Yeah, I think to get to the second week of a Grand Slam is a
very good achievement at my age. You know, I just have to kind of look at the
way I played today and be disappointed with it, but really to learn from it
because you don't want that to happen in Grand Slams, like it did in
Australia and like it did today. I don't want to play like that again in a
Grand Slam. You know, I'm gonna try my best not to. Obviously, you have some
days where you play badly, but it's still not an excuse to come off the court
without having created any chances. You have to try and win playing badly,
try and find ways of getting yourself out of a tight situation. You know, I
didn't really try and find too many ways to get back into the match.
Q. With the experience of this week, do you feel that you're close to being
a contender at Grand Slam tournaments, or have you still got miles of work to
do?
ANDY MURRAY: I definitely have got a lot of work to do. But I think, you
know, I proved to myself that I can beat some of the best players in the
world playing in Grand Slams. Uhm, you know, I still think physically I need
to get stronger. You know, mentally, I need to get better. My game needs to
get better. Everything needs to improve. So, you know, maybe not this next
year or the year after, but I'm hoping by, you know, 21, 22, I'll be playing
my best in the Grand Slams.
Q. Are these the sort of ideas where maybe that improvement doesn't come at
the same rate you're accustomed to, that it's a bit more incremental?
ANDY MURRAY: Yeah, I think, you know, a lot of players have, you know, tough
second years on the tour. You know, I can't really say I've even finished my
first year on the tour because I only broke into the top hundred in
September/October time last year. So I do think it is going to take a little
bit longer. But my ranking is still going up. I'll be ranked around 35 after
this week. I'm going into the best part of my season, I think, playing on the
hard courts. I hope that it keeps going up. But I'm pretty happy with my
progress so far this year. I don't think it's obviously not been as rapid as
it was last year, but it's still going in the right direction.
Q. You've had growing support the last week. Is Wimbledon somewhere where you
want to come back and sort of it to be your place? I mean, is this the sort of
is this the institution where you want to dominate?
ANDY MURRAY: To be honest, I'd rather British tennis wasn't just surrounded by
me. I'd rather if it wasn't my place and there was five, six other players.
You know, Wimbledon is a great tournament, and one that means obviously a lot
to me. I played well here the first two years I played. But I don't want it
to be that, you know, I'm the only player that's getting into the second week.
I'd much rather it was two, three other players doing that. I'm hoping that
that's gonna happen in the next sort of five, six years.
Q. You haven't wanted to rush to get a new coach. Do you believe now is the
right point just to put that pen to paper, just to give you that extra X factor?
ANDY MURRAY: Yeah, I think before Cincinnati or Toronto, hopefully I'll have
got it done. You know, I'll probably take a few days off. I got next
year (sic), then I'm going to go to Newport, then obviously Davis Cup. I'll
try to take a few days off and think about it, speak with my management
company and get everything sorted out. You know, I don't as I said, I didn't
want to rush into anything, but I said before Cincinnati and Toronto I'd have
a coach. Yeah, I'm pretty sure I will.
Q. You have used your own expertise, you'd like to sort out problems during
these days of the championship, do you now see where the extra bits could be
added on? Is it clearer in your mind?
ANDY MURRAY: Yeah, well, I think I did a good job this week of getting to the
fourth round on my own without, you know, a coach or physical trainer, you
know, and people really helping me out. I did everything myself, which is
obviously good. But, you know, if I can get a coach coming into these
tournaments, someone that I can speak about my matches with, let me know what
I've done really well, what I need to do better, because, you know, I come
off against Roddick, it's very easy to think, you know, you played a great
match. But, there's still things in that match that I could have done better,
especially on my serve, because I let him have so many breakpoints. So, you
know, you want a coach who's gonna tell you obviously tell you the good
things, but make sure you improve the bad things. That's why I'm looking for
a coach that's worked with the top players and knows how to tell you those
things.
Q. When you speak about getting other British players in the second week,
would that help you as well, not only help you raise the bar of British
tennis, but help spread expectation and pressure?
ANDY MURRAY: I don't think the pressure and expectation thing should be a
factor, really. It's just something you have to get used to. If ten million
people want you to win a tennis match, it doesn't make a difference if it's
five or ten, it's still people wanting you to win. And the most important
thing is that you perform for yourself. Only pressure should be the pressure
you put on yourself, which, you know, for all the great players, I'm sure it
is like your Federers and stuff, you know, and they all deal with it really
well. So, you know, it would be nice if there was more players for the fans
to support and it wasn't just, you know Wimbledon wasn't just like my
tournament and there wasn't so much not pressure, but so much surrounding me.
It would be better if it was more people, because obviously that's been the
problem the last 10 years.
