The Power of Positive Thinking Doesn’t Fail Wawrinka
By GEOFF MACDONALD
Stanislas Wawrinka celebrated his victory over Andy Murray at
the United States Open.Uli Seit for The New York TimesStanislas
Wawrinka celebrated his victory over Andy Murray at the United
States Open.
Tattooed on Stanislas Wawrinka’s left forearm is a quotation
that sums up his philosophy of life. It’s from Samuel Beckett,
whose writings dealt with the struggle to find meaning in a
bleak, nihilistic universe. Written on his arm in blue script:
“Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail
Better.”
“It’s my vision of my job and my life in general,” Wawrinka
said. “In tennis, as you know, if you are not Roger or Rafa and
Djokovic or Andy now, you don’t win so many tournaments and you
always lose. But you need to take the positive of the loss and
you need to go back to work.”
He added, “It’s that simple.”
Nothing was very simple Thursday for Wawrinka’s opponent, the
reigning United States Open champion, Andy Murray, who looked
like the negative, anguished Murray of old as he whined and
gestured toward his box, looking as though losing to Wawrinka
was surely killing him. It was disappointing to watch. Like many
tennis fans, I have rooted hard for Murray to slay his personal
demons and realize his considerable potential.

Andy Murray must set new goals - Boris Becker
By Piers Newbery
BBC Sport at Flushing Meadows Wimbledon champion Andy Murray
needs to set himself new challenges after losing his US Open
title with defeat in the quarter-finals, says Boris Becker.
The Briton, who won his first major title at Flushing Meadows
last year, lost 6-4 6-3 6-2 to Stanislas Wawrinka.
Becker, a former US Open and six-time Grand Slam champion,
believes Murray must find new inspiration.
"He needs to set new goals, find new reasons to work harder and
play better," Becker told BBC Sport.

Interesting articles general. Thanks. Keep them coming. :)
It seems Boris Becker and I are on the same page about Andy
setting new goals or challenges. :)
And Andy needs to stop whining and yelling to his box after
almost every point he loses.
His opponents must love seeing that. It shows weakness.
He used to do that when Mommy was coaching him.
Lendl will not be so forgiving.
Respectfully,
masterclass

I was thinking about what johnny mac said general masterclass.
I am not too sure if he is right about andy being out of gas.
andy was injured during the clay season and was not able to get
involved in many matches.
he did not fare well in montreal and cinci.
translation: he has not played much since Wimbledon.
so is he out of gas or out of focus? perhaps he has lost a
little bit of focus.
maybe there have been too many distractions since his historic
win. there is tremendous demand for him now.

Stan should have been able to win this match.
they had 165 points each.
Stan just made too many mistakes. he had 69 unforced errors.
that tiebreaker was his ticket to the final.

Spot on general. But he shouldn't have even let that second
set reach a tiebreaker.. He was up a break at 4-3 and casually
dropped his serve. That was the killer. Anyway, if he had
taken the second set, it would have likely been another 3 set
win.
Djokovic has so much stamina in the 5th set these days. Stan
visibly tired after that mammoth 3rd game in the fifth - 21
minutes, and Nole just kept chugging along and looked strong at
the end. I don't know how he does it. I guess his team sees
that he gets all the preparation he needs to stay so strong in
the 5th set. Well, he also had pretty easy path to the
semifinal, that didn't hurt. He only spent 8 hours on court
while Stan spent about 13 against stronger opponents.
Respectfully,
masterclass
