The red costume could be in honour of her Chinese grandmother she visited regularly growing up. Deep down she’s a communist sympathiser.
Up yours USA. :emoticon-0130-devil

Not sure why folk are upset cos Murray sees himself as Scottish and is proudly so. So did my paternal grandparents. My guess is most fans on here see themselves as Mackems not geordies, identity is important... it is to me...I am a proud, Northerner, Englishman and Brit, probably in that order.
Murray survived Dunblane but still supports the town by investing there. He us very proud of his GB Olympic gold..

When he had been on TV shows he always with his English wife, comes across is a decent guy.

I’m absolutely Mackem/English, not British.

I’ve a Scottish grandfather and an Italian grandmother. I’m English.

Absolutely. Well said
 
I'm now not convinced you said it just for 'a bite' - Actually, I know you didn't. Suck it up <laugh>

There's nothing to claim on her. She's British, British citizen, British passport, Educated and trained in Britain, doesn't want to be anything other than British... Because she is ;)
I purely said it to get a bite Saff and i'm glad it worked :)
 
That £1.8m is clearly a lot for an 18 year old but it’s pretty insignificant in comparison to what she’s about to earn.

The likes of Nike will be all over her. She’s the total package.

utterly brilliant. What a fantastic day of sport we had.

Just watching this now. She’s ****ing tremendous!!

Crowd are a bunch of bellends mind!

Just been chatting with a mate of, an even older more curmudgeonly than me. However we both agreed that this is one of the most amazing sporting achievements that we can remember. Neither of us is that keen on tennis...

I used to enjoy watching Andy Murray on the court. I've heard people complain he classes himself as Scottish not British, he is always miserable blah blah blah.

The bloke was committed and wanted to win and he is Scottish and British aswell. The majority of people who have a problem with him being Scottish not British would say they are English.

Oh and he once said he likes to see the England football team get beat. So **** he is Scottish why would he not?

Definitely agree with this. No wildcard for the US open, no problems for Emma, she’ll just qualify and win the whole damn thing anyway Mr McEnroe :emoticon-0136-giggl

Early days, but she has is being well schooled/advised about the Commercial Side.

That smile is an advertising dream, so she was part of the way there after Wimbledon.
The references to Romania have been covered.
Afterwards she had a TV link to China where she thanked her Fans there, in Chinese.
The New York fans seemed to favour her opponant, not realising that she too was born in Canada.
She identifies herself as British.

My only concern is that The British Press will build her up with their usual over-enthusiastic hype, just so they can knock her down at the first opportunity.

I wish her only the very best in the hope that we will witness that smile for very many years to come.

Best thing now mate is she's nowt to lose having won a grand slam. She'll have her own pressure but she's got a free run.
