Melbourne, jan. 23 : British tennis star Andy Murray has blasted rivals Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic and says the moaning pair are only putting pressure on themselves.

The Sun quoted Murray as saying that Federer keeps whinging about being continually asked about Murray's chances of winning the Australian Open.

Murray said: "A few players disagree that I have been made the favourite. There have been some quite big contradictions from both of them. By saying they should be the favourites, they are putting more pressure on themselves."

Murray is not afraid to speak about his rivals, although his relationship with tomorrow's opponent Jurgen Melzer has thawed. (ANI)
