Be careful of what you say

The meaning of those words held very true this week for young Andy Murray of Great Britain, who caused quite a stir when he acknowledged that match fixing is a problem in the sport.

This morning, Murray denied ever stating that matches are fixed, saying that some of his words were taken out of context. The tennis world was shook up last year when serious accusations of betting and match fixing arose at wimbledon, in a match between Carlos Berloq and Richard Bloomfield.

Since this incident, russian star Nikolay Davydenko has had to deal with accusations as well, although till this day, neither one of the forementioned accusations has proved to be true.

Meanwhile, aside from the controversy, Andy Murray is enjoying yet another fine season (34-12), in what is only his second full year in the ATP Tour. Murray put himself in the map last year, when he became one of only 4 players to defeat Federer during the whole 2006 Calendar.
