Murray is so overhyped

It seems like for the past 2 years, he's been picked as the fav for almost every slam, which is 'due', and so far he has done absolutely nothing. I understand the British press are going crazy, and if he wins good for him, but the constant hype is disgusting.

I want Fed to shut him up just to see the British media idiots eat their words and scramble to rewrite all their articles.

He's British, they over hype anyone or anything of their own. Yup, cant wait for Federer to shut Murray and with him all of Great Britain.
 
2 slam finals, multiple slam quarters and semis, and multiple MS titles is "doing nothing"? OK...what have you done in your life? B/c if you haven't surpassed Murray, you are in your own words "doing nothing" and a waste of time and space.

He's the guy who won the most titles last year. I wouldn't say that's nothing. Maybe not the same as winning a slam but still definitely not nothing!

Over-hyped probably, but thats just the way the British press is. He is a damn good player, who has a pretty good chance of beating Fed.

Murray is favourite because is was/is bound to win a slam eventually. This is a great chance for him to leap Djokovic & JMDP in my estimation.

Most UK press/commentators think he'll lose as a matter of fact.

I also think if other countries with a similar tradition to tennis/sports as Britain weren't to have the equivalent of a male slam winner in so many years, they, too, might get a bit worked up about it!

The Aussies are already getting a bit edgy since Lleyton's getting older and there doesn't seem to be a clear successor. Same here in the US, though tennis isn't nearly popular enough to elicit the same reaction as in the UK.

The British press breaks all the boundaries of craziness IMO.
I see a new article on Murray popping every minute and some of them can be pretty nasty and...desperate.
Not Murray's fault so I wouldnt say I want Roger to beat him just to put the press back in its place but I agree its annoying.

Sigh.

He's played 6 slams since he entered the top 6. He's made 2 finals, a semi and a quarter, whilst winning multiple masters series and beating his top4 peers on a regular basis - and you object to some people tipping him to win a slam?

Rapists are disgusting. Terrorists are disgusting. You have turned the hyperbole up to 11.
