Andy Murray Out of French Open

Just typical!! No sooner is birthday boy Rafael Nadal out of the French Open than British hope Andy Murray also gets knocked out by Chilean Fernando Gonzalez!

Next it's onto Wimbledon where Murray's chances will again be over-hyped by the British media - maybe he'll come good there!
