Andy Murray, Britain’s No. 1 tennis player was smashed in pieces by Novak Djokovic In the Sony Ericsson Open semi final in Miami and felt very bad about it saying he never wants to play so awful ever again. Murray stood 62 minutes on court and all this time he was booed by the fans.
“I guess it’s going to happen sometimes in your career. I’d rather it happened earlier so that I can learn from it. You never want it to happen again. It’s a good humbling experience, and I’ll just have to try to improve on my game and get better to make sure it never happens again.”
 
Nobody is perfect, Andy still is young and has time to learn more.
He started very well but after the third game his opponent hit an ace to set himself up to take the lead. Murry was injured and also struggled with that problem, but he didn’t use injury as an excuse, ignoring the problem.
“I had the chance at the start of the match to break him and I played a bad service game in the next game. I let him get ahead and, you know, it wasn’t anything in particular. I was just missing balls that I wouldn’t normally miss. Against a guy like him - who doesn’t make so many errors - you just can’t give points away. I don’t want to make any excuses today. He played better than me, I wasn’t very good. It was the worst match that I’ve probably played since I’ve been on the tour.”
Andy Murray is a modest person accepting the loss and moving on, trying to learn from his experience becoming even better than he already is.
