Having just endured an agonizing match between Murray and Roddick
I can conclude that the thing that separates them more anything is the
apparent mental attitude both players have and exhibit under pressure.
Roddick somehow just 'looks' like a winner and more often than not
never showed how he was feeling - which made me the viewer believe
that he was ultimately going to win - unlike Murray. Bjorn Borg 'the Iceman'
was the same - never looked like losing. Even when it seemed he couldn't
possibly come back - you always believed he would.
The quote above is on a website: http://tinyurl.com/n9pek3
which has quite a few inspirational thoughts from the great Arthur Ashe
- who, were he still with us - might offer Andy Murray - and all of us facing
tricky times in the creative industries these words of wisdom.
God knows we need it right now - I have never known our industry to be
quite so negative and we could do with a bit more PMA and a bit
more confidence about our abilities and our value.
