I definitely agree, Luke, about Murray being under more pressure this Wimbledon than Henman used to be. Due to a glitch yesterday afternoon (I'm blaming it on the heat!) I posted a draft version, the final comments should have read "the pressure of being the best home player in decades". His form in the run up to SW19, winning Queens, his ranking, all led to huge expectation. Inevitably, the expectation would be even greater if he were to come into Wimbledon having ALREADY won a GS title elsewhere, but until he wins one,the pressure will always be there to live up to his potential. Poor Andy! It will be interesting to see what happens over the next couple of years, how he handles the expectation/pressure, and I wish him well.
