  • Murray manages to ignore huge Wimbledon hype

    Murray manages to ignore huge Wimbledon hype Andy Murray has become expert at playing deaf and dumb in the face of the growing volume of Wimbledon hype concerning his title chances.

    With the entire British nation hanging on the outcome of his every match, the Murray progress through the field at the All England club has become a national sporting mania.

    But the men in the centre is trying to keep his perspective heading into a semi-final with Andy Roddickk, twice a losing finalist and a true grass threat.

    "The hype doesn't make any difference the way you perform", said the No. 3 Scot. "If you spend the whole time reading the papers, watching everything on the TV, hearing all the things that are getting said on the radio, then you get caught up in it."

    The Murray solution: "If you ignore it you don't realise it's happening. I don't read it because 90 percent of the stuff's gonna be pretty much untrue anyway. I just stay away from it".

    Murray is instead concentrating on what he can control - his form. "I understand that I can lose the next match if I don't play my best. That's been one of the things that I've learned, and it's made a huge difference to me over the last year or so".

    "I realise that if I don't bring my best game then I'm gonna lose to guys like Roddick".

Hi all..Unfortunately it was not a difficult a match for Andy. The best I'd viewed in a long time. Sad loss to Juan but great opportunities are hard - come - by.
All the 'best' to Andy..
