Andy Murray was just as baffled as the rest of us following his flat performance in the fourth round of the U.S. Open:
No Excuses for Murray After Loss
“I had my chance in the first set, and then struggled after that. The momentum went with him, and I didn’t manage to get it back.I don’t know what it was. Against [Paul] Capdeville [in the second round] I felt a little bit low on energy. And it’s not an excuse, but it’s not good in a Grand Slam to feel that way.”
I didn’t find a way to get myself into the match. Every time I had a chance, he would hit a big serve or I would hit a poor return, especially on the second serve. ... Normally, the return is the one part of my game where, even if the rest of my game is struggling, I find ways to break serve and get into points, and I didn’t do that.
Today was not good.”
Later, Murray called the loss the most disappointing of his career.
