Andy Murray's recovery from Wimbledon.

Summary
After his agonizing defeat on the Centre Court in the semi-finals of Wimbledon against, now world number 2, Rafeal Nadal, Murray will begin the long climb back to his old shape again. Britain’s only hope in men’s single tennis and number four on the ATP list, will begin his climb today in the Davis cup, starting with playing a crucial tie to Great Britain against a former professional who is now coaching youngsters. Murray will be the highest ranked player he will have face. The contrast with Wimbledon is stark and painful. From playing against world’s best players  in front of millions of people to playing an unranked hobbyist, but Murray will have to bulk up and continue, if Britain ever wants to see a British grand-slam victor.

Comment
I love Andy Murray and most things he does, so it was really hard to see him lose to badly to Nadal, who is only ranked two places higher on the list. But whatever the ranking says, the difference in mental discipline is immense. After one difficult set Murray breaks down, whereas Nadal can play 6 hours at his best. I do hope that Murray will haul in the Davis cup for Britain though but I doubt it unlikely as Djokovich, the world number 1 is also participating for his country, Servia.
