I'm a bit gutted for him. Hope he manages to break his duck and win a grand slam soon.

But seriously, I'm a bit gutted for him. Hope he manages to break his duck and win a grand slam soon.

I'm sure he's got a couple in him over the course of his career. Really f**ks me off when people call others 'a failure' when they're clearly not.

edit: that wasn't directed at you. just in general. he's achieved more than probably anyone here who comments.

Murray has not lost a set yet in the tournament and has played some absolutely stunning shots. I reckon the Nadal match in the quarter final could be a classic and Murray has a great chance of winning.

[ampersand]

Not really. Why would I?

a wee chance of the jock being sent packing.

[ampersand]

Dont think so.

I do however love the way that in sports where competitors are usually defined as British, if they happen to be Scottish then the Scots will always let you know about it - Scotland's Chris Foy as opposed to Britain's Bradley Wiggins springs to mind.

i think the opposite is just as common...

[ampersand]

As in?

[ampersand]

I'd quite like him to win as well...

not sure why... maybe just to prove all the doubters wrong?

it's certainly an interesting time in mens tennis, as in there are a good few in any tournament who could win

what langdale said.

3. To shut the media up. But to do this, I think he needs to win Wimbledon. Although the papers would go Murray crazy for a good few weeks, I am sick to death of hearing about 'plucky British hopes' every sodding year. Let a Brit win the damn thing, get this hoodoo out of the way and let us enjoy the tennis for a change.

[ampersand]

I was specifically on about the Scottish. Any sportsman who's any good at anything who would be described as British and is Scottish will never not have Scots shouting this fact from the rooftops. Olympic athletes are the prime example.

Though I have to say that I have a thing for Kim Clijsters. Not sure why, but I think she's a fittie.

[Langdale Wolf]

Does this turn you on aswell:

I have to say I don't get a thrill from muppets. That's why I try not to talk to Pogo if I can help it.
