Look man donkey nuts, there are two types of tennis. Federer is champion of one for reasons I've mentioned and you've done little to dispute apart from throw in a few authorities, which I find suspect.

You throw Federer into the other type of Tennis and he's done absolutely nothing apart from beat a few second rate Argentinians. You like Federer, I get it.

[Kowalski]

He's a joy to behold.

Yeah I find Nadal a deeply unappealing player, but then I don't much like Murray either. It's as much personal as it is about their ability.

Federer on the other hand is admirable both as a player and as a person.

[Snufflebutt]

The courts at Wimbledon are more like clay courts than ever hence the reason why nooke who serve volleys has got anywhere near winning recently. If Nadal wins it says more about the courts at Wimbledon rather than any comparison with Borg. The courts slightly suit Federer cos the ball doesn't bounce as high as on clay, but they still are pretty slow.

And you contradict yourself and aren't really sure of what you're waffling about

Rather than start a new thread thought I would find this old one.

Well done Murray. So pleased for the lad, he really deserved his win last night. Hope he can climb even higher in the rankings before the end of the season.

But he wont win the US Open...

[Uncle Liam]

Probably not but he's number 6 in the world just now which is pretty darn good.

Murray still seemed totally unenthusiastic in the interview I saw. He needs to get "smile coaching"

I really dislike the guy....

[King Blue]

I'm slowly growing to like his cocky,awkward attitude. Its about time Britain produced a sportsman like him i.e one who isn't either incredibly dumb or incredibly polite and dull. Plus,he seems to hate mediocrity,which might seem a blindingly obvious trait for any sportsman,but one that most Brits seem to ignore.

He played well last night,albeit it against a below par Djokovic. Hope he does well in the U.S Open. He has it in him to get far.

[ronaldo]

yeah well done Andy, played really well. Almost managed to do a typical 'Scotland' and grab defeat form the hands of victory but hung on and won well.

Dont get all the folk moaning he needs to smile more etc, he jumps about cheering etc when he smashes a brilliant winner past someone and usualyl comes across pretty well in interviews (even with his fairly boring sounding central-scotland accent!). No need to be a smiley loser (aka Henman).

Who gives a badgers turd what his personality is like. He's a winner pure and simple. At the moment he's cutting it with the very best in the world. Britain don't have many sportsmen that are doing this right now so be thankful that somebody is putting the nation in a positive light - it doesn't happen much.

I give a badger's turd about his personality, quite clearly. Or was that a rhetorical question?

And while I am occasionally petty and nationalistic about Wales, I don't really give a toss about Britain's sporting reputation on the global scene. I really don't. I do care that someone so f**king miserable is being touted as a new British hero (until his next defeat when he will return to being known as a Scot)

this old worn out bollox about a scottish/brit shit bores me. every newspaper i have read they have said "the scot this" "the scot that" its all bollox that whole brit winning scot losing,

[Radar]

How is he miserable? And what has someones personality got to do with being a sports star? He seemed happy beating one of the best tennis players in the world last night and showed plenty of emotion. Just cos he has a pretty dour accent he comes across no the best, he cant do much about his accent.

he's a Scottish hero not British Was typical English commentator last night, first time he was called a Scot was when he got his serve broken in the second set
