Errr for all the support the English give him perhaps, he might as well have spat in their faces with those comments that were 'taken out of context'.

Re: Wimbledon 2009
 

What an amazing spinning dropshot on the penultimate point of the first set..

Re: Wimbledon 2009
 

On behalf of all my countrymen and women I'd like to apologise for not immediately recognizing the tremendous achievement of winning a World Cup thanks to a Russian linesman with dodgy eyesight. ;)

I assume the comments relate to his "I support Scotland and anyone playing England" remarks which have nothing whatsoever to do with tennis or has he made some other remark advocating the death penalty for anyone sounding a bit cockney?

Re: Wimbledon 2009
 

Murray is playing some brilliant tennis this round. Very refreshing game to watch :)

Re: Wimbledon 2009
 

He looks way more a likely Grand Slam winner than Henman ever did. Murray just went flat out through the first and now he's just doing enough to hold serve and get the break he needs in the others. Why do anything else, it is a bit pointless to go flat out when you're through.

I remember certain Henman games in the early rounds where they were anything but comfortable - Michel Kratochvil?

Re: Wimbledon 2009
 

Here's the context of those 3 year old remarks Link
'Henman said: "The whole thing was ridiculous and in a way it was my fault - we were walking to the interview and I was joking with him because it was a World Cup year.
"I said, 'What are you going to do? It must be a nightmare because Scotland never qualify for anything.Your rugby has gone downhill, you don't have your own team in the Olympics - you might as well go on holiday for a couple of weeks'.
"It was all good fun and good banter. Andy was laughing and hitting back. He said, 'I don't care - I'll just support anyone who is playing England!' The journalist was with us as we were walking to do the interview and we then did a 45-minute interview and football, England-Scotland, was never even mentioned. But the next day's headline was, 'I'll support anyone playing England'.
"It was an absolute stitch-up and it was very disappointing'

Excellent 90 minute match with Murray winning 6-2 7-5 6-3

Well done Murray :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:

Re: Wimbledon 2009
 

Agreed, That was a very enjoyable game to watch. Played very well :)

Re: Wimbledon 2009
 

His serving has improved massively since last year, if he continues to get his first serve in like he did today, i can't see him dropping too many service games. Just five unforced errors is pretty good as well...

Re: Wimbledon 2009
 

I still can't believe how well he is doing, I keep expecting him to get some sort of niggling injury and then have to quit.. He looks so much healthier than in previous years, I really hope he can go all the way this time!

Re: Wimbledon 2009
 

I don't want your apology and never asked for it, lets hope you pay more attention when taking statements ;)

Oh that's alright then, it has nothing to do with tennis :rolleyes:

Yeah just like when his mates started that rumour about him wearing a Paraguay shirt, they're lads ent they

Re: Wimbledon 2009
 

Excellent performance from Murray with some sublime shots...

Re: Wimbledon 2009
 

Yes another great win but he was not really tested at all. Still it was good to watch :)

Re: Wimbledon 2009
 

:clap: well at least he's through to the 2nd week :) Let's see where he goes from there..

Re: Wimbledon 2009
 

Sat watching the Azerenko v Petrova match and was I in stitches... Her extremely unique warbling high pitched grunt just brings a smile to your face :D (link below has the video of the final game and you'll hear what I mean)
