That kind of southern blues isn't usually my cup of tea, but that's pretty good, StG. Cheers for the link.

 

Just saw this table for Grass Court win % for Murray, he's sitting amongst some fairly illustrious company.

His mother must be proud.

 

Amusing when he forgot her and had to go back. Wimbledon Champion or not....never forget your Mum!

 

Quite right Fran. As I am always telling my grandchildren "No on will ever love you as much as your Mum".

 

I just wish my mum had been around to see this. She loved her tennis. I don't know if she'd have been more pleased with Murray's win, or the Wimbledon colours, matching tie and blazer set Cliff Richard wore last week. Now that would have had her excited!

 

Two of my favourite tennis players in that list: Borg and Edberg.

 

If he wins Wimbledon and Queens again next year he'll be above everyone except Federer. He'll probably also be no. 1 in the rankings by then anyway. Not bad eh?

 

He's world number 1 now.

 

Very hard to climb the rankings. Its a complicated business based on how you did last time. His next tournament is the US Open. As he won last time, he can only lose points at that event. Djokovic gained points at Wimbledon because he was only a semi-finalist last year, whereas Andy had to win to gain any points as he was a finalist last year. Andy said himself on Sky this morning that he is a long way off number 1 and it will be very hard for him to close the gap on Djokovic.

 

Oh I misunderstood. I saw this on BBC website and thought it meant he had become world number 1:

On becoming world number one: "It's tough - you have to be consistent throughout all year. I've won the Olympics, the US Open, finished runner-up in the Australian Open and now won Wimbledon in the last year - and I'm still nowhere near. The goal for me is to win another Grand Slam and not worry to much about rankings."

Very misleading! I didn't read the paragraph properly and only saw the first bit.

 

Am I correct in saying that Markus Liebherr bought us four years ago today?

 

Yep 8 July 2009

 

Ha ha. My wedding anniversary today..... she's going to love when I tell her what a momentous day it is today later!!

 

Time certainly flies when you're having fun.

 

Yep what an amazing 4 years it's been. Even more amazing is I tthink the next 4 years could be even better!

 

Congratulations. Make sure you make it a very special day for her with the best of everything.

Always look after the one you love.

 

Pardew says he is open-minded about Joe Kinnear's appointment....as bad as that, eh!!

 

Thanks Godders. I've just had the conservatory roof panels replaced for her!

 

Just watched Swans press conference pre-ashes. I had not realised how much his side profile makes him look like Matt Le Tissier. Nose, mouth and chin.
