Murray slams British sport
http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/tennis/3682206.stm
Andrew Murray launched a scathing attack on the state of British sport
on the eve of his Davis Cup debut.
The 17-year-old Scot has been preparing with the British team in Spain
after winning the US Open junior title.
"For me tennis has always been my priority," he told BBC Radio Four. "One
of the problems in Britain is that they don't give sport enough attention.
"That's why there have not been any great (British) sportsmen in the last
10 years."
The US Open junior champion added he is content to sacrifice his studies
for a career in tennis.
"When I moved over to Spain, they've been great, they take tennis as my
priority and actually help me a lot," he said.
"I think I am going to succeed in tennis and if that's the way that you
think then you shouldn't have to study or take it as seriously as other
people do."
Murray hit the media spotlight when his victory at Flushing Meadows made
him the first British youngster to win a Slam since James Baily won in
Australia in 1993.
"Last week was pretty tough when I got home from New York," he told the
Today programme.
"I was met at the plane by about 20 photographers, 10 journalists and
three camera crews but at least I left to go to La Manga the next day
and there was no press there, so it wasn't too bad.
"I didn't have much time to let it sink in but I think that's a good
thing. I think it's important for me to keep my feet on the ground and
not get too far ahead of myself."
The Dunblane teenager is now happy just to be in the company of "two guys
that I've looked up to and watched for the last three or four years"
- Henman and Rusedski.
It is the first time he has been called into the British Davis Cup team
but he could given a surprise role in the opening day's singles in the
World Group play-off in Portschach.
Asked how he would feel if he does get to play, he said: "That will be
great for me and I'll do my best."
好期待喔:D
