    So a talented boy from a coldish country spent time in a hot country to hone his skills in what is essentially a summer sport. Him and hundreds of others I would imagine. come on Mindy - you can do better than that.

    Finally,

    Scotland gave even less to Murrays development than England. At least England gave the dream of Wimbledon.

    Not entirely - his parents worked in Scotland and earned the money to be able to give him the best tution available. Viva Scotland for helping parents to fund their children's dreams coming true <ok>

    He does indeed. But for someone (not you Trev) to say he didn't learn how to play in Scotland is the same as accepting that Federer doesn't train on the slopes of the Matterhorn, Djokovic wasn't having to take cover from NATO aicraft in Belgrade between serves and Maria Sharapova didn't perfect her service game in Gorky park. I really don't get what the big deal is. Spain, Austalia and US are probably the 3 main training centres for tennis players the world over and Murray's family took advanatgae of it - it doesn't undermine the achievement and doesnlt make him any less Scottish..
