Strange how Andy Murray does not seem to get the same hype from the UK media as Henman did - or is just my imagination ?

It's certainly is your imagination mate. Have you been living in a bunker? It's flipping Murray mania! All over the papers, it's the main topic of the Wimbledon TV coverage everyday!

I didn't see the interview but I'm delighted that Murray has won because it brings him closer to a match up with my hero Roger Federer who will edge him out. Fed has to win this tournament to be confirmed as the greatest player of all time and I dont think he'll let anything stand in his way, including the young wipper snapper Murray.

Murray is something like 6-1 up against Federer  

That won't matter on the day ( if it happens). Federer is running nicely into cruise control now!

Great win by Andy Murray last night, lets hope he can make it all the way.  
It's time a Brit/Scot won Wimbledon.

I'm thinking that the other Andy is the danger man - he seems to be on a mission and I see him in the final with you know who!

Oh! that's good to hear !!

Just buy a paper and watch the news there will be no doubt!

 I agree with you, I think Andy Roddick could well be a serious contender to both Murray and Federer but I honestly dont think he'll win. Not sure whose half of the drawer he is in though.I need to check it out.

You could well be right JB but it will be no disgrace to lose to such a majestic player.

Greatest player of all time ?. Possibly. I would have loved to see Federer v McEnroe or Borg (my all time hero). Different eras I know, but what a match that would have been.



PS Oh to be a young wipper snapper again (or even whipper snapper)

The tag of greatest has to be decided by who wins more grand slams and as you probably are aware Fed is equal with Sampras but one more slam would make him the undisputed greatest. Thats why I think he'll beat Murray but I'm sure that Murray will bring the trophy home to England one day!

Let's just wait and see if Federer reaches the Final. I feel an upset in the air.
