Falling Stars?

Is Andy Murray even a star in the first place? Anyway, more seeds continue to fall in the early rounds at Flushing Meadows. This time it's Mr. Predictable, Andy Murray who is so good at talking up his chances, yet so awful in delivering.

It was hilarious to hear the news of his thrashing by some Croat most of us have not heard of. 7-5, 6-2, 6-2 is a comprehensive beating, and all this idle talk that Murray is finally ready to win a Grand Slam can finally be put to bed again. I really don't know where these supposed tennis experts get all this rubbish from. What has Murray done on the big stage to merit him being ready to win a Grand Slam?

Nothing.

That's one tricky player out of the way for Federer. I'll just be looking for Nadal to run out of steam in one of his next three possible matches against top players, and then the title will surely be going to Federer yet again.

In Andy Murray's case, the media hype most probably doesn't help, especially when he is only an average player who wins the small tournaments but can't handle the big time.
