Wimbledon 2009
 
Is starting soon and Nadal is out.

Can Murray do it this year or has he put too much pressure on himself by winning Queen's?

I think the usual "British support" expectation will effect him more than the pressure of winning Queen's"

In the mean time whilst we wait here's something to get people in the mood :)

I think he's probably adapted to the expectation due to his world ranking. Winning Queen's though will have put the focus on recent events...

He seems to handle the pressure of being the only decent British player really well, so i don't think it will affect him too much. Nadal pulling out has given him a real chance of getting to the final, probably more so than any British player for some time. I reckon he'll get to the final and lose to Federer.

I hope he does well, but in the tradition, he will probably get a little niggle of an injury and then that will be a convinient excuse as to why he flunks out in the semi's (if he's lucky). :p:

I'd much rather just be entertained watching the old guys play. The Red button was made for tennis!

So people actually watch tennis for the tennis? I always thought it was just for the gorgeous girls. :D

Mind you, Steffi Graf was both gorgeous and entertaining; watching her (years ago, while I was still living at home and had access to a TV), I admit I actually watched her matches as well as those long, lovely legs...:D
