Serena, one half of the Williams brothers, is backing Andy (or Nadal) to win the Ausie Open.

http://www.sportingnews.com/blog/the_sporting_blog/entry/view/16504/serena_williams,_classy_as_ever_down_under


Later on in her presser, however, Williams acknowledged that by far the hotter speculation down under is in reference to the men’s and not the women’s draw. After she dissed Jankovic and sang her own praises for a while, Serena was asked who she thought was the favorite in Melbourne. Without missing a beat she smiled and said, “Either Andy Murray or Nadal. But you can never count Roger Federer out.”

Williams brothers.... lol  Venus is known in our house as 'Penis'  ........ Embarassed  We are very bad..... but my.... they're not awfully feminine are they?

Just caught a bit of Sky News UK and Andy's physic Little tongue man is over the front cover of one of the tabloids!  Missed which one they said but found this article from Daily Mail on-line. 

Murray has the winning look for Melbourne and rattled Roger knows it, says Lloyd

Twelve months ago, the measures being taken to prevent match-fixing in tennis were the talk of betting enthusiasts in the lead-up to the Australian Open.

This year the dominant topic is Roger Federer’s whingeing about Andy Murray being pre-tournament favourite, which is taken by some as further proof that the 21-year-old Scot has got the Swiss master seriously rattled.

British Davis Cup captain John Lloyd believes the bookmakers have got it right and that Federer’s out-ofcharacter sniping at Murray’s status is betraying his mindset.

Nice to know that England can possibly crown a Grand Slam champion this year.

http://www.lawntennismag.com/news2009/january/andy-murray-wimbledon-dream-15001.html

"LONDON--(lawntennismag.com) Not since the sparkling tennis of fellow Brit, Tim Henman has England had a realistic chance at crowning a singles Wimbledon champion. Andy Murray of the UK reached the final at last year's US Open and now England may be dreaming of a Wimbledon run.

The 4th ranked Murray started this year with Abu Dhabi exhibition wins against both world number one Rafael Nadal of Spain and world number two Roger Federer of Switzerland.

Last week at Doha, Qatar, Murray took the singles title at the Qatar ExxonMobil Open defeating the top American Andy Roddick in the final. In the semifinals Murray, topped Federer again in the 6-7(6-8), 6-2, 6-2.

Federer had taken the Wimbledon singles title five years in a row from 2003-2007 before losing in last year's final to the current Wimbledon champion Nadal.

Henman reached the Wimbledon semifinals in his best showing at London in 1998, 1999, 2001 and 2002. His last year's quarterfinal finish was Murray's best result to date. Murray lost to Nadal 6-3, 6-2, 6-4."

From the above link,

ON HIS DECEMBER TRAINING BREAK WITH ANDY MURRAY: It was pretty tough, pretty long, intense days. It was good fun. Andy and I did everything together. I was going on his terms of doing everything together and we worked to get stronger and fitter. It was his programme but it was adapted for me too. We’re stronger than before and in the best shape we’ve been in.

ON PLAYING WITH ANDY: When Andy plays with me he wants to do well for my reasons. He wants me to pick up points and move up the rankings. He does it more out of friendship for me and his brother because he wants us to do well, be top players and move up the rankings. Jamie and I are very appreciative.

Not exactly a news article, but Yahoo in Oz are running a poll - the question is 'Is Andy Murray in the same class as Roger Federer (they can't spell his name right, bless Rolling Eyes ) or Rafael Nadal?  

Currently at 66% No!

You go and prove to them otherwise Andy! cmonandy

Has been quite a bit of 'talk' on the news about Andy - especially when he won Federer in Doha.

I was right. Murray has been unwell. His immune system is clearly in the shitter, what with the cold sore. He has the flu.

http://www.newsoftheworld.co.uk/sport/141530/ANDY-MURRAY-IS-FLU-GOOD-Brit-star-shines-in-Australian-Open-by-cruising-past-Melzer.html

FLU victim Andy Murray climbed off his Melbourne sickbed to keep alive his dreams of winning his first Grand Slam.

The British No 1 spent two days in bed before blowing Austrian Jurgen Melzer off court to power into the fourth round of the Australian Open.

Murray stormed to a 7-5, 6-0, 6-3 victory in just one hour, 40 minutes to set up a clash with Fernando Verdasco.

The 21-year-old Scot admitted: “I have been sick for the last two days so I’ve spent a lot of time in bed. I had a sore head, sore throat and, generally, I wasn’t feeling great.

“I made sure I didn’t do much yesterday and took all the medication I could. With flu and sickness a lot of it is how you handle it mentally. If you think you’re going to get better then you will.”
Videos

It’s probably helped that Murray has met little resistance so far and has raced through his three matches in a combined four hours and 15 minutes.

Meanwhile his bid to become the first British man to win a Grand Slam in 73 years is being aided by some of boxing’s greatest fighters.

The fourth seed watches videos of Muhammad Ali, Floyd Mayweather Jnr, Roy Jones Jnr and Ricky Hatton to psyche himself up.

Murray added: “Boxing is my second favourite sport.

“I love listening to guys like Muhammad Ali. He’s inspiring. Boxing is similar to tennis — you decide whether to attack or defend, and which is their weaker side. There are so many comparisons between the two sports.”

Top seed Rafael Nadal cruised to a 6-4, 6-2, 6-2 victory over Germany’s Tommy Haas, but three-time Aussie Open champ Serena Williams dropped her serve twice on the way to a stop-start 6-1 6-4 victory over China’s Peng Shuai.

OUCH !!

SAFEST bet of 2009 is that Andy Murray will be fit and well for the next tournament with big personal ranking points at stake.
But put good money on the fact that he will not be fit for Great Britain's next Davis Cup outing which takes place just after the US Open finishes, against Outer Mongolia or Andorra probably.

I don't know why Murray doesn't just admit that he's a selfish, stubborn egotist and that his country means nothing to him, rather than just letting us think that is the case.

No doubt he will expect support from the nation at Wimbledon. He shouldn't get it until he shows some support in return.
