Extremely tough to win a Grand Slams now, says Murray

September 17, 2009 By admin Leave a Comment

London, Sep.17 (ANI): World Number three Andy Murray is of the view that winning a Grand Slam title in the present day and age is far more tougher than it was before, given the kind of talent on show in the tennis circuit.

He said that when players are competing against the likes of Roger Federer, Raphael Nadal and now Juan Martin Del Potro, winning a title was not easy.

“It’s really, really tough to win the slams now so Del Potro’s effort was pretty good. There’s no question that Roger (Federer) and Rafa (Nadal) are two of the best ever. Roger’s people say he’s the best of all time; that’s not really up for debate. And Rafa, providing he stays healthy, I’d expect to get to double figures on slam wins,” The Telegraph quoted Murray, as saying.

“That’s better than any two rivals have managed together and then behind them the standard is very high. There are guys like (Andy) Roddick who’s only managed to win one slam right at the start of that career and he’s a great player,” he added.

Murray, who exited from the US Open in the fourth-round, also said that he wanted to take his mind off his disappointment and move on.

For the moment, he is only concerned about defeating a couple of Polish journeymen to provide Britain with the platform for a victory which would ensure they do not get demoted to the Davis Cup’s third tier for the first time in 13 years. (ANI)

Murray vows to come back better after US Open loss

September 10, 2009 By admin Leave a Comment

New York, Sep.9 (ANI): British tennis star Andy Murray has said that he will come back a better player following his fourth-round straight-sets thrashing by Croat ace Marin Cilic.

“It’s the biggest disappointment of my tennis career. As an individual sportsman you have to take responsibility. I played poorly. I wasn’t myself and I’m disappointed I could not find a way back,” The Sun quoted Murray, as saying.

“I allowed him (Cilic) to dictate the play. Normally the return is the one part of my game which is always strong. I don’t know how long it will take me to get over it. I played well in the summer,” he added. (ANI)

To win US Open, Murray must get aggressive: Henman

September 1, 2009 By admin Leave a Comment

London, Sep.1 (ANI): Former British tennis star Tim Henman has told Andy Murray he can win the US Open if he gets aggressive.

Henman reckons Murray can go one better than last year, when he lost the final in straight sets to Roger Federer.

“Federer is the favourite, but Murray is No.2 now – I think he can get back to the final and win his first Grand Slam. He needs to play more aggressive tennis to succeed,” The Mirror quoted Henman, a semi-finalist at Flushing Meadow in 2004, as saying.

Murray, who faces Latvia’s Ernests Gulbis in the first round, insists he is a more complete player than 12 months ago.

“I’m playing a lot better. Up until Wimbledon last year, I was playing top-10 tennis but not tennis that was consistent enough to get me to No.2 in the world,” he said. (ANI)

Murray takes a tennis break to perform a rap song

September 1, 2009 By admin Leave a Comment

London, Sep.1 (ANI): British tennis champion Andy Murray, who is hoping to be World Number One, soon, took a break from the game to do a rap number for an album.

But he admits he is unlikely to be a top 10 success in the music charts.

The British star has been fine-tuning his US Open plans and is looking to go one step further than last year when Roger Federer beat him in the final.

Yet second-seed Murray, who takes on Ernests Gulbis in the first round at Flushing Meadows today, took a break from practice to record a rap verse for an album written and produced by tennis twins Mike and Bob Bryan.

According to The Sun, the album, called Let It Rip, is being released today.

Murray admitted: “It was the first time I had done that – it was good fun.”

“I think that was the whole point of it. It definitely wasn’t anything special. It wasn’t particularly good,” he added. (ANI)

Priority is to win, I am never going to smile on court, says Murray

August 29, 2009 By admin Leave a Comment

New York, Aug 29(ANI): British tennis player Andy Murray has said that during a match his main focus is on winning it, and he won’t crack a grin to impress his fans as he doesn’t care about anything else.

“I don’t go out of my way to ask the general public if they like me or not. That’s not really No.1 in my priorities,” The Mirror quoted Murray, as saying.

“I am never going to smile on the court. I don’t see the other top guys smiling and joking when they are playing. It is a serious business. Just like it is in other sports. Before or after you might joke around – I spend most of my time joking around – but when you step on the court, it is business,” he added.

The 22-year-old further displayed his qualities to become a top player and said that he likes to concentrate hard on his game and he extracts gratification it.

“I’ve got three hours to concentrate. To concentrate hard. So, that’s what I do. Is it still fun? That’s a good question. When you are training, it is hard work but you feel you can enjoy yourself. There’s no pressure,” Murray said.

“It is just practising a sport I love playing. But when it comes to a tournament, it is all dependent on whether you are winning or not,” he added. (ANI)

Murray frustrated by “in your face” drug-tests, whereabouts clause

August 29, 2009 By admin Leave a Comment

New York, Aug 29(ANI): British tennis player Andy Murray has expressed frustration over the ‘intrusive’ drug-testing protocol and said that the “in your face” way that these tests are done is annoying.

Murray further said that it has become even more annoying to let the World Anti-Doping Agency know where he will be for an hour of every day of the year.

“It was such a hassle. I don’t know what it’s like in other sports. I’m sure it’s tough for the athletics guys as well. I’d just like it to be a little bit more relaxed,” The Telegraph quoted Murray, as saying.

“I just think it’s a little bit in your face the whole thing. When you’ve finished your matches, a little bit more space would be nice,” he added.

The 22-year-old also said that the players are not provided space and their privacy is repeatedly invaded by the agency.

“After I lost at Wimbledon, I was obviously disappointed because it’s a grand slam, and within two minutes of getting off the court the guy was right there, standing next to me. And I just very politely said to him, “Can you give me a little bit of space please? I’d like to be on my own for five minutes’. And he’s like, ‘Yeah, yeah, sure’, and takes one step back,” Murray said.

He said that the tests waste their precious time, as the agency asks them to go through urine, as well as blood tests.

“So when he did that, I said, ‘Right I’m going to go do my test right now’, and I went downstairs, did my urine sample, took five or 10 minutes, and then they said that I had to go and do a blood test as well,” Murray said.

“I was like, ‘Right, that’s fine, let’s do it’. And they said, ‘Sorry, you can’t do the blood test now, as you’ve got to wait until 45 minutes, an hour, after your match before you do it’. So there are so many rules and things so if you do everything right, they will still keep you waiting,” he added. (ANI)

MJ inquiry could take months

August 27, 2009 By admin Leave a Comment

London, August 27 (ANI): Officials probing Michael Jackson’s death have reportedly said that it could take months before an arrest could be made in the case.

Jackson’s personal physician Conrad Murray and other doctors are being investigated by police over their role in the star’s death, which is being treated as homicide.

“We’re looking at months before we make any arrests. We want to build a concrete case,” the Mirror quoted a source as saying.

Murray, who is at the centre of a manslaughter probe, could be charged after the Los Angeles Coroner allegedly ruled that the singer’s death was homicide and that he had lethal levels of powerful anaesthetic Propofol in his body when he died.

Murray, who told homicide detectives he gave Jackson 25mg of propofol to help him sleep before he suffered cardiac arrest, has denied any wrongdoing. (ANI)

MJ pleaded for drugs from his doctor, shows affidavit

August 26, 2009 By admin Leave a Comment

Washington, Aug 26 (ANI): Even though late King of Pop Michael Jackson’s death has been ruled as a homicide by the L.A. County coroner, an affidavit has revealed new details about actions of the singer’s doctor.

According to a search warrant affidavit released on August 24, Jackson pleaded with his doctor to give him more sedatives to cure his insomnia prior to his death, reports CBS News.

Jackson made “repeated demands/requests” for propofol, which the singer called his “milk”, the affidavit stated.

Dr. Conrad Murray, Jackson’s cardiologist, administered 25 milligrams of the white-coloured liquid, a relatively small dose, and the singer finally fell asleep.

Murray told investigators that, at the time of Jacko’s death, he had been trying to wean the star off propofol, and that he’d been treating Jackson for insomnia for about six weeks with 50 milligrams of the drug every night via an intravenous drip.

The affidavit unsealed in Houston, where Los Angeles police took materials from one of Murray’s clinics last month as part of their manslaughter investigation, includes a detailed account of what detectives say Murray told them.

The L.A. County Coroner’s office will rule Jacko’s death as a homicide based on forensic tests, though the findings have not been publicly released.

“The coroner’s finding doesn’t mean we are going to see a homicide, as opposed to manslaughter case against anyone,” said a CBS News legal analyst.

“The examiner’s office doesn’t distinguish between legal terms ‘manslaughter’ and ‘homicide’,” the analyst added. (ANI)

MJ’s doc spent 47 mins making calls after he stopped breathing

August 26, 2009 By admin Leave a Comment

London, August 26 (ANI): Michael Jackson’s personal physician Conrad Murray has been accused of spending 47 minutes making calls to another doctor, a lawyer and a mystery associate after the singer stopped breathing.

Dr Steven Hoefflin, who treated Jackson for 25 years, alleged Murray phoned fellow medic Arnold Klein for advice on what to do as the King of Pop lay dying.

“Murray definitely called Klein because Klein taught him how to administer propofol,” the Sun quoted Hoefflin as saying.

“There were two in-state calls then one out-of-state. He was calling an attorney – he had to because Michael was dead.

“He tried to cover it up by telling everyone Michael had a weak pulse, but Michael was dead,” he added.

Hoefflin, a respected plastic surgeon, also claimed that Murray rang an attorney before informing a security guard to dial 911 and summon paramedics to Jackson’s Los Angeles home.

But a lawyer representing Murray recently denied claims that the medic left Jackson to make phone calls after giving him powerful anaesthetic Propofol.

Lawyer Ed Chernoff issued a statement seeking to clarify parts of a court affidavit unsealed in Houston, Texas.

The contents came to light as reports claimed that the Los Angeles County coroner had concluded Jackson’s death was homicide and that he had lethal levels of Propofol in his body when he died on June 25. (ANI)

MJ’s death was homicide, concludes coroner

August 25, 2009 By admin Leave a Comment

London, August 25 (ANI): The Los Angeles County coroner has reportedly concluded Michael Jackson’s death was homicide.

The King of Pop, who was allegedly being treated for insomnia, had lethal levels of the strong anaesthetic Propofol in his body when he died, according to court papers.

Details of the coroners’ findings were revealed when a search warrant affidavit was made public in Texas, reports the Sun.

Investigators have quizzed the team of doctors who treated Jackson, including his personal physician Dr. Conrad Murray, who, though not named as a suspect, is at the centre of a manslaughter probe.

A search warrant affidavit for Murray in California read: “The Los Angeles Chief Medical Examiner-Coroner, Dr Sathyavagiswaran, indicated that he had reviewed the preliminary toxicology results and his preliminary assessment of Jackson’s cause of death was due to lethal levels of propofol (diprivan).”

The affidavit apparently revealed that Murray told LAPD detectives he had been giving the singer propofol as part of his treatment for insomnia, and feared the star was becoming addicted to the drug.

But Murray, who has denied any wrong doing, reportedly gave Jackson a lower dosage of propofol on the morning of his death after several other drugs failed to work.

Jackson died aged 50 from an apparent cardiac arrest at his rented LA mansion on June 25. (ANI)

High-fat diets ‘make us lazy, forgetful’

August 13, 2009 By admin Leave a Comment

Washington, Aug 13 (ANI): Eating hotdogs and French fries might be a great treat, however, these high fat diets can significantly reduce our exercising ability and lead to short term memory loss, reveals a new study.

The research conducted using mouse model showed that in less than 10 days of eating a high-fat diet, rats had a decreased ability to exercise and experienced significant short-term memory loss.

“Western diets are typically high in fat and are associated with long-term complications, such as obesity, diabetes, and heart failure, yet the short-term consequences of such diets have been given relatively little attention,” said Andrew Murray, co-author of the study and currently at the University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom.

“We hope that the findings of our study will help people to think seriously about reducing the fat content of their daily food intake to the immediate benefit of their general health, well-being, and alertness,” he added.

Study leader Murray fed rats with low-fat diet (7.5 percent of calories as fat) and high-fat diet (55 percent of calories as fat).

He discovered that the muscles of the rats eating the high-fat diet for four days were less able to use oxygen to make the energy needed to exercise, causing their hearts to worker harder-and increase in size.

After nine days on a high-fat diet, the rats took longer to complete a maze and made more mistakes in the process than their low-fat-diet counterparts.

The researchers also studied the cellular causes of these problems, particularly in the mitochondria of muscle cells.

They found increased levels of a protein called uncoupling protein 3, which made them less efficient at using oxygen needed to make the energy required for running.

The new research is published online in The FASEB Journal. (ANI)

Tennis ace Andy Murray in pet scare

July 16, 2009 By admin Leave a Comment

London, July 16 (ANI): Scottish professional tennis player Andy Murray was in a tizzy when his pet dog had to be rushed to the vet, after it ate many rocks from the garden.

Murray, 22, became worried when his border terrier pet dog Maggie started suffering from a mystery illness.

He had a pet ambulance collect Maggie from his 5million-pound home in Oxshott, Surrey, and an X-ray revealed the rocks.

Vets removed them, and Maggie was back to her playful self in a couple of days.

“Stones are usually left to pass through a dog’s body but these were too big,” the Sun quoted a source as saying. (ANI)

Jackson’s sister says he died in doctor’s bed

July 12, 2009 By admin Leave a Comment

London, July 12 (ANI): Michael Jackson died not in his own bedroom as first reported, but on the bed in the room of his doctor, Dr Conrad Murray, across the hall, according to the late singer’s sister.

“I don’t know exactly what happened, whether he was giving him oxygen, but Michael ended up in the bed. The doctor was trying to give him CPR (resuscitation for cardiac arrest) on the bed,” News of the World quoted her as saying.

La Toya tried questioning Murray when she arrived at the UCLA hospital where the King of Pop had been taken.

She said: “Paris was in tears and said to me, ‘There’s Dr Murray. He’s the best cardiologist in the world, how can this happen to Daddy?’

“I said to him, ‘Tell me what happened?’ But he was vague and simply said, ‘He just didn’t make it.’ I wasn’t pleased with that answer, but you have to be careful as the kids were there. I felt weird and not right.

“This was the only man who knew what went on, but he wasn’t telling me. And then he disappeared,” she added. (ANI)

MJ’s chef saw doctor taking out oxygen tanks from mansion

July 11, 2009 By admin Leave a Comment

Washington, July 11 (ANI): Late King of Pop Michael Jackson’s chef has claimed that he saw the star’s personal physician, Dr. Conrad Murray, taking out oxygen tanks from his mansion.

The claims might add weight to the theory that the star was being treated with a potentially deadly drug.

Oxygen is required to administer the anaesthetic Diprivan, which was reportedly found at Jackson’s home, and is believed to have contributed to his cardiac arrest.

“On two separate occasions, I saw Dr. Murray pushing oxygen tanks through the kitchen and outside to the back of the house. The tanks were large, heavy-duty, four-foot green and silver tanks. Dr. Murray pushed the tanks through the kitchen where I was preparing lunch, and out the back door,” Contactmusic quoted chef Douglas Jones as telling the National Enquirer.

Jones added: “I did watch what he did with them, but I thought it was odd, and in light of what I know now, it’s obvious something was going on that was probably illegal.”

The chef also revealed that he saw oxygen tanks stored on the premises.

If Jones’ account is found to be correct, it could prove devastating for Murray.

Dr. Cyril Wecht, a leading forensic pathologist, this week called for the medic who provided Jackson with drugs like Diprivan to be prosecuted.

“They’re drugs to be administered by an anaesthesiologist or a trained anaesthetist; it is to be given only in a hospital setting… also it must be given under highly aseptic technique because it is susceptible to bacterial contamination,” said Wecht.

He added: “For all of these reasons, if any doctor prescribed Propofol for Michael Jackson to take at home himself… in my opinion, that is gross wanton negligence and really approaches a question, legally, of manslaughter.” (ANI)

Roddick’s coach says Murray should mix his game up to win Wimbledon

July 6, 2009 By admin Leave a Comment

London, July 6 (ANI): British tennis star Andy Murray has been told to mix up his game if he wants to win Wimbledon.

Andy Roddick’s coach Larry Stefanki says the world No 3 needs to change his mentality and become more aggressive.

Stefanki, who used to coach Tim Henman, said: “He has to change his mentality. He is stuck playing defensive tennis only, that was the big difference. I don’t think he played enough offence.

“I think the difference was that Murray’s second serve was very attackable.”

Murray, who is taking a short break to move house, will spend more hours on the practice court perfecting the art of getting to the net and volleying.

The British No 1, 22, said: “Coming to the net is something I have worked on a lot but I didn’t use it that much in the matches.

“I’ll try and get better at it and come back next year and hopefully go one better.” (ANI)

Jackson’s doctor loved posing bare-chested with scantily clad girls

July 6, 2009 By admin Leave a Comment

London, July 6 (ANI): Michael Jackson’s doctor Conrad Murray, who is at the centre of the probe into the superstar’s death, knew how to party hard and even posed bare-chested with scantily clad girls while promoting an energy-drink.

It has emerged that Murray, who was allegedly with the King of Pop at the time of his death, cavorted with the models on a jaunt to Trinidad and Tobago.

His companions on the trip have revealed that he loved to “party hard”, boozing with sozzled stunners into the early hours.

And newly released pictures show the 56-year-old doctor cuddling girls less than half his age. He certainly knew how to party,” the Sun quoted promotions girl Maggie Goldstein, 34, as saying.

Maggi apparently took a string of snaps of the doctor at play on the island.

“He joined a promotional group on the island plugging a new high-energy drink called Pit Bull which I think he’d invested in,” she said.

“And he showed he had plenty of high-energy while he was there. There were about ten models and pro-motions girls who’d been recruited in Las Vegas.

“He had a ball with them. He was up into the early hours drinking and having fun and took a particular shine to one called Tracy who was at least 20 years younger than him.

“He loved posing bare-chested with the girls,” she added.

Murray has hired high-powered lawyers to refute suggestions that he was in any way to blame for the death of 50-year-old ‘Thriller’ star.

Maggie said: “I recognised him straight away when pictures appeared of Michael Jackson’s doctor. I had no idea he was supposed to be a top heart specialist – I just thought he was an old guy with an eye for the ladies.” (ANI)

Murray insists that he will win Wimbledon soon

July 4, 2009 By admin Leave a Comment

London, July 4 (ANI): British tennis star Andy Murray, who lost against Andy Roddick in the Wimbledon semi-final on Friday, plans on lifting a Grand Slam before next year’s tournament at the All England Club.

The Sun quoted Murray as saying: “I still think it’s been a very good tournament. I did better than I ever had before. I had some very good matches and I thought I played good tennis. I think I have a chance of winning Wimbledon. And I think the way I played this year was very, very close to getting to the final.”

“If I give myself those sort of opportunities and keep playing well – my consistency in the Grand Slams the last year or so has been much, much better – I’ll give myself opportunities to do it. I believe I can win a Grand Slam, whether it’s Wimbledon or US Open or Australia or whatever.”

“I’ll move on very, very quickly and work on my game and improve and come back stronger. It would be a pathetic attitude to lose one match and let it ruin my year,” he said. (ANI)

Andy Murray immortalised in life-sized sculpture made from pizza dough

July 3, 2009 By admin Leave a Comment

London, July 3 (ANI): Tennis star Andy Murray has been sculpted in dough by his favourite Pizza Express restaurant, where he recently persuaded staff to serve him a Margherita despite the kitchens being shut.

The life-sized sculpture of the 22-year-old sports star stands in the foyer of the restaurant.

It was with the help of a local artist that the head-and-shoulders bust of Murray, complete with racquet, was designed.

The sculpture was created by the pizzeria’s staff in Wimbledon village, close to the venue of the All England Club.

Weighing 20 kilos, it is packed with enough dough to make more than 100 of Andy’s favourite pizzas, and took a fortnight to mould.

The firm has also promised that it will serve Murray free pizza for six months if he becomes Britain’s first men’s champion since 1936.

“It’s just a bit of fun. We didn’t mind working the extra hours for him. If we can give him the fuel to triumph at Wimbledon, we are happy to oblige,” the Telegraph quoted Anton Gjoni, the manager, as saying. (ANI)

Wimbledon final tickets being sold for 8,500 pounds

July 3, 2009 By admin Leave a Comment

London, July 3 (ANI): Tickets for the Wimbledon men’s final are being sold for 8,500 pounds each.ccording to The Sun, Wimbledon top brass have pledged to prosecute black market touts trying to cash in on Murray mania.

But well-heeled debenture holders who provide funds for Wimbledon can sell their tickets.

An All England Club spokesman said: “It is thanks to debenture holders that we can undertake projects like the Centre Court roof. In return, we think it only fair that these investors are allowed to trade their tickets if they want to.

“But I must point out that most debentures are bought by out-and-out tennis enthusiasts.”

Wimbledon themselves actively encourage the sale of debenture tickets by approving a website set up especially for the purpose of selling on the ‘white market’.

But ticket agencies get in through the back door by snapping up unwanted debenture holders’ seats so they can make booming profits from enthusiasts.

The All England Club issues debentures every five years to raise funds for capital expenditure.

The last batch in 2006 realized 46 million pounds and each single debenture cost 23,150 pounds. (ANI)
