Andy Murray running his mouth again...


In Davis Cup play, Great Britain has lost its last 5 matchups and faces being relegated to the lowest of all the Davis Cup groupings if they cannot beat Turkey in July.  After their latest defeat, John Lloyd decided to quit as captian, leaving the Brits in a desperate place.  The player who will probably have a big hand in deciding the next captain is world #3 Andy Murray.  Former player Tim Henman's name has come up for the vacancy, and Murray seemed to welcome the idea of Henman as captain.  Henman came out and said he was more interested in improving his golf game and sitting on the Wimbledon committee, rather than be Davis Cup captain.  Another name rumored for the job is former solid player Greg Rusedski.  Rusedski has even shown great interest in wanting the job.  Well there is one big problem;  Murray wants nothing to do with him as coach, saying "I'm  only 22 and hanve only been at the top of the game for a short while but I already know more about tennis, and certainly more about my game, than Greg Rusedski".  So now it looks highly unlikely that Rusedski will get the job.  You know the Brits will cater to whatever Murray wants.  They do not want to upset their player enough to a point where he will never play Davis Cup again.  Everyone involved knows that without Murray, British tennis is basically "dead in the water".  So who knows where they will turn now for a coach.  They, or should I say Andy Murray has until July to decide.

The thing I find ironic about the whole situation is how Murray is running his mouth about this whole situation, and being manipulative to the process of finding a new coach when HE HARDLY EVER PLAYS DAVIS CUP.  He is the type of player that rarely participates, and only does if he has time or feels like it (just like a certain guy named Roger Federer).  So Andy pleas shut your hole, play some video games, and learn to not choke like a bitch in Grand Slam finals, before you start piping-up and putting your nose in business that in all reality you care very little about.
