Murray-Rosol: The Bump-Gate

I didn't watch Murray-Rosol match yesterday (Murray won in three sets, after losing the first one).

Apparently, Rosol bumped into Murray the same way Nadal bumped into Rosol during that famous Wimbledon match.

But unlike Rosol, who kept quiet, Murray firstly complained to the umpire and then went one further telling Rosol across the net that everyone on tour hates him!!!

"No one likes you on the tour. Everyone hates you."

Talk about not being able to control one's temper...Murray is beginning to remind me of McEnroe more and more...

Having seen the clip and the score at the time (Rosol just won the first set and about to serve in the second), it looks like pure gamesmanship from Murray.

Winning dirty....as his old coach Gilbert would have no doubt schooled him in.

The dropshot that followed immediately must have felt sweet to Rosol.

Woow quite funny! Both are a pain actually. Did they shake hands?

How is Rosol a pain?

Murray !!!

I have seen him with similar antics against other players.....

I haven't.

Even today, on closer look, you see that it's Rosol trying to go past the net fast and Murray does not want to step back. Rosol actually has to almost trip over the ump's chair in order to avoid Murray who stands there expecting Rosol to bow down to him and let him go first despite being slower in the changeover.

Then he goes on to moan not only to the umpire but tournament supervisor as well...about what???!
And if that's not enough he steps the bullying levels and insults Rosol personally in front of the entire crowd yelling everyone in the locker room hates him.

I have never liked Murray, only had a soft spot moment for him after that Wimbledon 2012 loss...from now on..zero respect.
No apology from his now wife for that awful verbal incident against Berdych, either...an ugly couple full of themselves.

No need to tar poor Rosol with the same brush for the sake of pleasing the Brits.

Kind of weird coincidence the wife threw out a slur directed to Berdych ethnicity and Rosol is a countryman of his.  Maybe she and Murray have some hangup with Czechs.

Rosol- has had some bad moments it seems.  The Nadal bump was purely Nadal doing and not Rosol's fault, but the walking by and knocking over Nadals water bottles in a later match shows a petty payback side IMO.
