BBC SPORT | Tennis | Talented Kasiri must learn to listen


A juicy piece here about last year's Wimbledon junior finalist Miles Kasiri helps me understand why Andrew Murray, who is barely mentioned in this BBC column, is so lionized in Great Britain. The irony, of course, is that Murray voluntarily left the LTA to train at the Sanchez-Casal Academy in Spain. But if Murray isn't the one to replace Henman and Rusedski, it won't be due to this malaise that seems to infect promising British juniors. Murray's work ethic and desire are unquestioned, and as his recent Davis Cup doubles win proved, he doesn't shrink from high-pressure, big-moment challenges.
