If there is one facial movement Ivan Lendl finds zyhaa915 Authentic Cowboys Jerseysexcruciating, it is that upward of curl of the mouth that spreads into what might loosely be described as a smile. When it is accompanied by an ever-so-slight moistening of the eyes, Old Stone Face is hurled into a maelstrom of embarrassment.All of that happened in New York on Monday night. He couldn't help himself. He stood in Andy Murray's box, positioned like a royal enclosure, raised slightly above the Arthur Ashe Court on which Murray had just created tennis history – and lost it. "That was definitely a smile," Murray said.
The man who had guided Murray to hisOfficial Cowboys Jerseys first grand slam title in just nine months was rightly proud, but the biggest struggle for him was to contain his emotions. This fighting of sentiment is part of his core philosophy of life, one he has imparted to the Scot, whose psyche has dangled on thin string for so long.But Lendl is never tempted to live a late career as a coach through Murray. He won eight grand slam titles himself. He's done it all already.
"Well, that's why I came on board," he saidTony Romo Jerseys later, "to help Andy win. He has won two big ones [an Olympic gold medal, where he beat Roger Federer in straight sets, then this US Open, where he ground down Novak Djokovic], it's a fantastic year, I'm very happy for Andy. It's a great achievement for him and let's hope he can continue, and rack up many more."I'm 52 years old. I've been away from tennis for 14 years. I don't look at myself as a tennis player, it's somebody that's …it's so long ago, I don't even think about it.
I said the goal was for Andy to win majors and he hadMiles Austin Jerseys two fantastic tournaments this year and I'm very happy for him."Yet some things will remain locked away. Asked what was the most important improvement he had brought to Murray's game since they started working together before the Australian Open in January, he bridled, a fall-back position."I'm not going to discuss that. He still has a career to go, he still has to play matches against these guys and, if I tell you what we worked on, what we planned to work on, if I dissect any of the matches, I'm giving away stuff.
And, as you saw, the margins are so smallDemarco Murray Jerseys that giving away something which would help somebody with two points in the match would be suicidal."That's why Murray hired Lendl. He brings hard-headedness to the job, a work ethic and calculating approach that Murray can identify with. While others fretted towards the end of an extraordinarily physical struggle against Djokovic, Lendl stayed calm. Murray said later that detachment from the roaring atmosphere transmitted itself to him on the court.
