Well so far as I can see anyone who accused the 'English' media of only bigging up their own got it completely wrong. Plenty of English (and other) pundits jumped on the Murray bandwagon after his thriller against Gasquet only to be shot down by a certain Spaniard.

Well of course some still argue that the equality in pay simply reflects the equal entertainment value of the women's, albeit shorter, game. A relative procession to the final for the Williams sisters doesn't bear that out IMHO. I don't see how 5 sets of Nadal v. Federer can be equal in any way to 3 sets of Williams v. Williams.
