Tennis ace Andy is going for gold

Aug 10 2008 Elaine C. Smith

I'D like to wish our Olympic hopefuls all the best.

It must be a dream come true after all the hundreds of hours of training and hard work.

But hoping to achieve their goal and come home with a medal must be terrifying.

One real hope is Andy Murray in the tennis (and, of course, his brother Jamie in the doubles).

Andy goes to Beijing as the world's No.6 having won his first big ATP tournament in Cincinatti.

It was a great achievement though given the obsession with cricket down in London it would have been easy to miss his terrific win last week.
