Over the last two weeks he’s been Andy Murray the moaner, the ruthless, the efficient, and the curfew breaker, among many other names that have been forgotten in the daily London press morass. Today, a day after Muzz’s grueling quarterfinal win over David Ferrer, the Mail provides a new and more glorious (and complicated) description of him:
ALL HAIL MURRAY THE GLADIATOR! MURRAY’S 135 MPH COUP DE GRASS BLOWS FERRER AWAY IN SW19
He finished it the only way he could. An ace, 135 mph, straight down the middle. Tennis’s equivalent of the stake through the vampire’s heart
Poor David Ferrer. You keep your head down and your mouth shut and you run hard all day and what do they call you for it? Count Dracula.
There’s no getting around it, it’s a mostly Murray day in the papers
