After seeing Tim Henman devastated by the mighty Roger Federer, Britain's only chance lay with young Andy Murray, an unseeded and underrated Scot. However, a magnificent straight sets victory over the number three seed Andy Roddick took him into the next round against Cypriot, Marcos Baghdatis. On a huge emotional high after his memorable win against Roddick, he went into the encounter full of confidence.


To the shock of the nation, Murray found himself 2 sets down and in a tie-break, on the verge of losing the match. On previous performance in such situations there was a glimmer of hope, and his chances were slim but nevertheless evident. However, he failed to record a second important victory, and crashed out as Baghdatis progressed to the next round.


Murray now joins Henman as a spectator for the remainder of the tournament, and will have to look forward for next year.
