Bollocks! He is a miserable uncouth yob who lost to a true sportsman. The stupendous Djoko- Del potro SF shoulkd have been the Final. Must grudgingly admit that The Git did play well today, though. On 7 July 2013 21:17, Dr Michael Benjamin wrote: > Great victory > Thrilling to see > Michael >

Not a fan then I take it. I'm not a big tennis fan in particular but this final was played at a frantic rateand I salute both players and I'm mildly pleased that a Brit won it. He's not Mr. Personality I'd agree,but he's not being scored on anything other than his ability to win tennis matches.

I wouldnt see this as a british victory if I was scottish, why would I? but then again I wouldnt see it as a scottish victory when the english man won tour de france. Murray, what a guy. I saw on the news he gave the entire prize money to a hospital where one of his mates is for cancer treatment.

Exactly. I think the real miserable bastards are the ones who want him to lose. He's now won Wimbledon and the US open, and been a losing finalist in the Aussie and Wimbledon. Give him some credit. I couldn't believe it when Sue effing Barker referred to 'henman hill' when she interviewed him

Eric, It wasn't the prize money from Wimbledon (£1.6M) he gave away, it was his winnings from Queens (£73k) 3 weeks ago, which whilst not exactly miserly only represents about 2% of his earnings to date so far this year. Cheers Chris On 8 Jul 2013, at 00:49, "Eric B" wrote: > I wouldnt see
