Andy Murray

Why do we put so much pressure on our sportsmen? We're already expecting Murray to get to the final at Wimbledon, now that Nadal doesn't stand in his way, and anything less than this will be seen as an abject failure on his part. I hardly think this helps the young man, and I have to ask whether this is really the way the ordinary man/woman in the street is feeling, or is it just media hype to help sell papers? Either way, and despite the fact that I have never been able to find any great enthusiasm for him, I wish him all the best.
