Well technically he's from South Africa but if we're treating Robson and Watson as our own then I guess he deserves the same treatment (I did cheer for him when he beat O'Mara a few days back).
I've never understood this compulsion to like people just cos they're from the same country / collection of countries as you. I don't like any British tennis players or Formula 1 drivers. They're all ****s.
I'm not one for tennis if I'm honest, and I really don't get the whole British thing when Scots are playing, but I enjoyed watching the men's semi's yesterday, Murray kept his semi going for quite a while, and when he looked like losing his semi, seemed to just perk up and polish it off quickly.
He went to Bev Grammar as well I believe, and then moved to Pock Grammar. I also got Simon Clarke to start referring to him as from being from Tickton, not Beverley. As it was starting to piss me off as a proud Ticktonian. And yes he was born in SA, but to British parents and can anyone here remember much about being 0-3 years old?
Tickton Primary was my first school in 1963, my family lived in Routh at the time, my dad still lived there up until a few years ago when he sadly passed away
I enjoy watching Andy Murray simply because he is a remarkably good tennis player. I hope he wins this afternoon, it would be a brilliant spectacle, but I think Novak may be the only player in the world too good for him just now.
Murray looking like the better man so far. Leading 6-5 in the second set after being 4-1 down. Come on Andy
Murray has been fantastic. Djorkovic hasn't been quite at it. As long as Murray keeps the rallies short I think he'll win.
British people still wanting Djokovic to win really are strange individuals. On the verge of British sporting history.
