Every summer during Wimbledon, Murray gets put under the microscope in Great Britain. Roddick joked Monday, “You read the news articles and it’s like, ‘Andy blew his nose at 10:23 this morning on the practice court.’”

Hmm..  Sitting in a car for 13.5 hours instead of a 2 hours flight on a plane.  Is that wise for Andy's stiff back ?

That's what I thought! Surely that amount of time sat cramped up is worse that the flying! And it's not like he's got loads of time to spare!

However comfortable a car is, I would have thought you would get worn out on such a long journey. I'm also concerned Think

I actually went and looked at the link for the first time.  First off, he's driving a Caddy SUV - nothing in the world more comfortable than that - not even a first class seat on a plane.  Secondly, he has just acquired his driving license ...... huloooooo ....... Thirdly, why would you sit in a germ laden plane if you dont have to.  The vehicles in the States are nearly all automatic - driving a CAddy SUV is like driving a Dodgem Car down a runway - no strain - the roads are very wide. Rest your weary head Marco ........ don't think he's having any problems other than the absolute joy of driving in the US with a brand new license .............

I would bet all the money in my piggie that he was driving, for at least part of the way.  Whyever would he not?

I agree in the UK it is an awful way to travel - in the US it is the best way to travel ..... (if you have the time)

Like I said, however nice a car is, I think it takes its toll when you're in it for that long.

Because he's only just passed his test, he needs to build up his confidence a bit before driving in another country while putting the lives of his friends in his hands.

I can fully understand why he has done this, after seeing the inside of airport terminals week in week out for most of the year it must come as a relief to do something a bit different when travelling between tournaments.

He also got a chance to see a bit of Canada and the US (abet from inside a car) but they do say a change is as good as a rest. yes

I'd be really surprised if he did not take the wheel for a spell ............... I'd be amazed if he didn't.  It is so much easier to drive in the US than over here - especially - on the Interstate Highways ...... have a look at the pictures of Interstate Highways online and you will see exactly what I'm talking about.
It's just like driving a Dodgem Car.
