For years the British public were put through the wringer each summer as Tim Henman tried to realise his and the nations dream of winning Wimbledon. These days it is Andy Murray who has that pressure around his neck.

We are into the second week of Wimbledon and he is still there. An impressive performance against the dangerous Tommy Haas on Saturday has really got people saying that this might be the year. His problems are twofold - they are called 'Rafael Nadal' and 'Roger Federer'.

These two stars of the game are both in tip-top condition despite Rafa calling for the trainer just now in the first set of his fourth round match. Nadal's form through the French Open and then winning his first grass court event at Queen's Club has shown the world that he is ready to take Federer on when it comes to grass.

Speaking of the Swiss world number one, Federer has looked beatable all year but since he's turned up at Wimbledon, he has looked like the old Federer. He hasn't been troubled at all and he looked like he's going to cruise through his half of the draw and make the final.

Murray has to go through Gasquet today, which isn't an easy game but up next would in most likelihood would be Nadal. Now that would be some game to watch and would really show whether or not Murray is ready to win a major.

Whatever happens it is yet another year of Murraymania and I bet my bottom dollar that we'll have exactly the same when Wimbledon comes around in 2009!
