    Oops. Nice try but goes with what I say he will NEVER win Wimbledon and I do not normally make such statements.

    Well I never thought Murray would bring tears to my eyes but that was emotional.

    Thanks for your kind hospitality lala, shame about the outcome but the better man won on the day!

    Maybe next year! I believe, if he can hold his form, he stands a good chance in the US Open!

    Guys, Andy had a good Wimbledon, but Roger (whom I like as well) was tthe better man on the day. What I liked was Andy's positive attitude and he was prepared to take it to Roger. I think two parts cost Andy - the game at 5-6 in the second set and also when he was serving at 2-3 in the third. If Andy would have got to two sets all, I would have given the edge to Andy. Now chin up Andy, you're getting closer. Now move on to the hard courts, try and win a couple of Masters titles and try to win the US Open.

    Andy's first serve let him down, when they went in they were often unreturnable but there were too few of them.

    Well I'm glad the petty minded little Scotch berk lost. The tears in my eyes were of laughter...well done Roger. He wanted England to lose,I'm merely reciprocating.

    I watched an interview with Mark Petchy last night.

    Petchy said that Murray is in an unbelievable position at the moment, he's got be beat (going by the seeds) 2 multiple slam winners to win his first major.

    Fed had to beat Mark Philippoussis to win his first slam, Nadal had to beat Mariano Puerta to win his first and Djokovic had to beat Jo Winston Donga to win his first slam, all of these opponents had never won a slam previously, but Murray has to beat 2 of them in normal circumstances to win his first slam.

    The consistency at which DjokoFedNad operate and longevity displayed is phenomenal, only one guy has won a slam apart from these guys since 2006 (DelPotro) <yikes>

    Murray will need a slice of luck to win one, the US could be it though, he's got a good record there and it's his favourite tournament.
