I'm sorry now...but having an unbias view I do think the British public are banking too much on Andy Murray.

There is no doubt he has talent,there is no doubt he can do well.But the more expectations you have of him the more disappointed you will be.I know I am setting myself up for criticism here but it's the same with teh English football team,always expected to do too much,never do as well as you expect.

Fair enough they are a decent squad but the English praise them like gods,lets face it they aren't.Big up patriotism but you need to be humble to b epleased.

It's the exact same as what you have with Henman,so many people expected Henam to win Wimbledon every year and to be honest he hasn't really opulled off anything soectacular in his career...a few slam semi's here and theer but that's it.11 career titles,nowt to brag about,for the amount of time he has been playing.

And now because Henman is quite clearly fading the British public(praise god) have finallyu found another tennis whizz in Andy Murray.Maybe he will conquer 4 GS titles and reach #1 in the world.But it wouldn.t surprise me if he faded into obscurity like Bogdanovic did,Delgado did,Parmer did and that's just to name few.
