    Sorry, can't warm to Andy. I just know that under the expensive make over, he's one of the anti-English brigade.

    I wish him the best but I'm for Rog the gent.

    Deffo Murray, think of all the young kids it will inspire.

    Got to be Murray not only because he is a brit but would create history.

    The Scottish are our neighbours and he's representing the UK so why not. It's not really about liking him as a person it's about him being an athlete and it's not as if he does anything wrong outside of sport, unlike Barton etc.

    500k for the losing finalist....I'd happily be a loser and get paid that.

    Murray for me, with a hope he inspires future generations to get into that racket.

    Lost my interest in Tennis when I hit 18. Loved it as a kid but not now.

    Murray's clearly a bit thick and also short-sighted. For a Brit in a predominantly English sport to attack the English Nation the way he has in the past is, at the very least, pretty stupid. He's another one of these idiots who see Patriotism as not so much a love of ones own Country but as having contempt for others. Remind you of anyone? ;)

    Hope he loses now.

    I will be rooting for Murray (even though he's a humourless whinge-bag).

    Should be a cracker if Murray settles his nerves and they both play near their best.

    I have a general rule of thumb, always support your own.

    Murray.
    I can't stand him but it means I wont have to listen to 1936 Fred Perry (last British winner) and 1938 Bunny Austin (last British finalist) any more

    Pull out the cow bells, dust off the Frank Ifield records, prepare the Emmental sandwiches and unwrap the Toblerone!...:grin:

    Neither of these is 'my own' they are both highly professional sportsmen playing for vast amounts of money. I hope it's a five set thriller, but Federer is in a different league as a player.
    All this 'support the local' stuff is bollocks. There is an Englishman on Centre Court now in the men's doubles final, again the first time since the glaciers receded. Centre Court looks to be about 50% full, so obviously it's not that important to the once a year tennis fans.

    Fine, Nutso, if it's family. But the extension to that rule is - my country right or wrong. A dangerous philosophy!

    Not sure my vote matters as I'm not British. But FedEx is for me the greatest sportsman and talent this world has ever seen, regardless of sport. I'm one of Federer's biggest fans, can't wait for tomorrow! Should be a great final, first Brit in the final since 1938!!! How is that possible??? Doesn't matter who wins tomorrow for me personally as both will represent great winners in their own respect.
