Fancy bursting into tears.

British tennis player, it's what you'd expect.

Federer did the same in 2008 when he lost.

Is he a pusssy aswell?

much more to it than any of us realise I suspect.

Yep. Real men cry on the inside.

4/1 with ladcrooks to cry during live coverage today

Gone up in my estimation.

Spot the once a year tennis watchers.

At least it shows he's got some emotion after all.

Tiger Tim would never of done this

A bit embarrassing for Murray really

Got a nagging suspicion something has happened off court. All the looking up to the sky (or roof) after each match and now today's tears.

as i said

we all show tears, mine are normally after another ul bet.

Tears were the sign of weakness leaving his body. That's why he aint winning the big ones. Too much of the pusssy in him.

anybody who wasnt moved by that ...good luck andy in the future.

Federer has cried plenty in post match interviews after Grand Slam Final defeats. Wimbledon, Aus Open,.... Why do you not call for him to man up?

Geldof could have done with the two of them and invited gazza along for good measure during those drought years 

It shows he cares, the tears could be the making of him and will make him try even harder.

i'm never a fan of tears in such a situation but at least he tried to hold it together. losing tennis matches is never an excuse to blub imo tho

I kept myself together pretty well during the ceremony, I didn’t want to act like a child . But once I arrived in the locker room , I sat down, and naturally, after losing the final of the tournament that thrills me the most, against the number one player, and having had lots of opportunities, I started to cry – out of disappointment, sadness. It was the only match where I cried afterwards last year, and one of the few where I’ve done it in my entire life. It was a very even match. I spent 20 or 25 minutes totally crushed. Once people started to arrive, I sat in a bathtub. They were coming to encourage me. I would thank them and ask them to leave me alone. I don’t like to be seen crying.

A quote from Rafa about the Wimbledon 07 final. He knows.

Gone up in my estimation - unlucky Andy son

Scotland is proud muzz and that's all he cares about.You could only wish you were man enough to cry

was not unlucky

capitulated after 4-4 15-40 in the second

nothing like kicking a man when he's down

yes agreed.

4th set hardly a capitulation.

Both had one break point, Federer took his Murray didn't end of.

Serve second set apart was where Murray lost it.

murray isnt a man

just saying it as it happened

when he had break points at 4-4 he was on the verge of victory

not many minutes later he got broke at 5-6 and was never again competitive

collapsed

I often cry when I follow larrence's music links

Murray set his heart on having a good blub before he even walked out onto the court.

my music links bring out tears of happiness.

Nadal said he would never expose the paying public to childlike tears of self sympathy.
He does his crying in private.
like a man should.

I think that was a disgusting OP! Tennis is his life. He tried his hardest throughout the game - unfortunately it wasn't good enough, he was up against probably the best ever player there has been.

I have cried before, I'm sure you have too, OP.

Imagine if that was you, a nation's expectations on your shoulders. I'd find it hard to hold together too.

This forum should make people weep for this type of thread. You not seen Fed blub when he got beaten by Nadal?

This is how the 'great' Fed handles Slam final defeat:

Muzza can do no right when it comes to his haters on here. If he cries, he's a p*ssy, if he doesn't he would be labelled a dour, hard-faced, miserable Scottish c*nt.

Im slightly ashamed to be Scottish right now. Why oh why did he have to cry?

I'm slightly ashamed that you're Scottish too

What are your views on Federer's interviews after his defeats at Wimbledon and Australia?

last time i saw tears like that was when my mate Hamish was asked to get a round in

i reckon Murray lost a pound coin out on the court 

I would cry if I just picked a cheque for half mil

can everyone please post their achievements that have got the country so excited so we can compare? I bet half of you cry when your bets get beat.

At the very least he could have gone into his bag afterwards and pulled out a pair of comedy breasts.

I cant stand Federer but you can always rely on Murray to make him look good.
All that happened today was Murray was to scared shitless to hit a winner, to gutless to take chance, and paid the price. No amount of crying will change that fact

ah, too scared to beat the greatest player ever. of course. so you admit, if he wasnt scared, he would be the best player in the world?

Exactly. First set Murray made Federer look like an ageing former champ whose time had gone but he tightened up because he doesn't have the cojones when it comes to winning Majors. No wonder he was crying. He realised that even at 25 his chance has come and gone because he doesn't have the top few inches which make the difference between a very good and a great player.

today Murray had to beat the most talented player out there. Himself

In the first set Federer made 16 unforced errors. Do you understand the word unforced? Nothing to do with opponent.

Murray served poorly throughout which was why he didn't win.

Federer was never the problem, he was there for the taking.50 unforced errors and he still won? Murrays total lack of self belief is the problem and is not being addressed.
Hes always ridiculed it but the psychiatric aspect should now be considered

He obviously doesn't realise that keeping a stiff upper lip is meant to be the British way, not blubbering in public like a child.

He's single handedly destroying our reputation.

In the 7 Grand Slams in 2011-12, Murray has reached 2 Finals, 4 Semi Finals and 1 Quarter.

In the 2 years previous did he win 4 slams? Seems to regressing badly now.

nowadays sports people cry all the time. its uncomfortable to watch but the norm now

Andy Murray, 25 years old, professional tennis play, gets to travel the world doing a job he loves, over 20 million in earnings and a beautiful girlfriend.

Wonder what the op's live is like in comparison

Matte, we haven't got a reputation. The trouble is that unlike older days, there were usually a couple of great players at the same time and occasionly there wasn't even 1 great player. Murray is always having 3 of the highest quality players in the game, that will beat him, in the majors and it is rare for all of them to be knocked out, by the time the semi's come round. He gave it everything he'd got, played some fantastic tennis and got beat. He care's and is desperate to win one and obviously, Wimbledon is the one he really wants to win.

a bit harsh coming from a moron ( probably pocket talk ) who cant spell his own username. 

Murray you big girls blouse.

"At the very least he could have gone into his bag afterwards and pulled out a pair of comedy breasts."

Good speech I thought. Nice to see he isn't always the man of granite he often comes across as being. And he is desperately unlucky to be born in this particular era.

He knows his career may well end up with 'plucky failure' stamped across it, when, in fact, he's just unfortunate in having not one but three truly outstanding tennis players up against him.  That'd be enough to make me cry!

4/1 with ladcrooks to cry during live coverage today

Struggle to believe that. 1.20 and above and I'd of stuck a hundred on, no qualms. Was guaranteed to cry, win or lose, bless him.

Thought it was touching really, nice to see he cares about the sport, as opposed to all the sporting mercenaries nowadays.

That comedy breasts comment

What price was it for Fed to cry if he lost? Must have been 1-5.

I genuinely think the guy is just quite shy when talking in public. He wasn't crying when he lost or after he done his speech, just when he had to answer Sue's dumb questions in front of millions. I think that is most of the reason he comes across as not the most likeable bloke too cos he just isn't comfortable enough talking on tv to be himself.

Maybe I am making excuses cos I think crying when you lose is pretty bad form too but thats what it looks like to me.

_________
that was the price in the shops it was not available online 2 of my mates who very rarely  bet phoned me at 1.45 on sunday from a ladbrokes shop to say they had bet it for £25 each
i couldnt believe the price either i thought it must have been to win and cry but it was to cry during live coverage and they were paid out

why should he be classed as a ****? in argubly the biggest final of his life and lost. put hard work in all his life for that chance and he failed. would i have cried? hell no. but im as hard as nails. only time i cried was when the snowman melted
