    Is this the year we finally get a British Champion in the Mens Singles?

    I think it is and have lump £50.00 on at 7.4 :D

    COME ON EVERYONE SUPPORT THE BRIT….

    Btw, I heard an interview on the radio with his mum the other day and far from being a sour tight arse scotch with a chip on her shoulder, we all know the type, she is in fact an interesting, funny and very intelligent woman and does a lot of work for ‘grass roots’ tennis. I’d like Andy to win it for her.

    I really do want him to win wimbledon! But every year/grandslam seems to have the same result, performs really well in the opening rounds and quater finals, only for his nerves to get the better of him and fail in the semi final or final, so I’m sure if I would put a bet on him or not. Fingers crossed for wimbledon.

    Sorry I cannot warm to Braveheart. I’m sure his Mum is very nice however he comes across as obnoxious doesn’t appear to possess the killer instinct so abundant in the top three seeds. He certainly appears to have a saloon passage.to the semi finals, but I anticipate his problems rearing their heads by the last sixteen. Things such as injuries under pressure, allowing lesser playets to build up two sets to one leads, loss of concentration in rain delayed games (with the roof, shouldn’t be such a problem this time). All that said, he has a great chance but I feel he needs one of the.top seeds to fall early to boost his prospects. Djokovic is in the form of his life and is my idea of a worthy champion. He no longer has the worry of keeping up a winning streak and a win here would push him to world number one where he is already in all but rank. Acircumstance of events and Andy Murray could find himself in the final. The best event would be if he took it upon himself to be obnoxious Oncourt and made it to the final by beating the best by playing his best and leaving his offcourt persona to his Mum.

    Yeah I love djokvic, he definitely deserved to win against muarry at the Australian Open, muarry will have probably play against him again to get any where near the final, and to be honest I would put my bet on Djokvic wining that match!

    Murray and Djokovic are in different halves of the draw so they won’t be meeting each other, unless in the final. So they won’t be meeting each other!

    Anyone see when McIlroy met Murray on the practice courts yesterday, parts of it where some of the most awkward cringeworthy tv I have seen in a while!!

    Good luck with your bet and good luck Andy! :D

    Though his second serve isn’t good enough… on the other side – there are players with more mph!

    Not sure what all those muscle man arm antics were from yesteryear by ‘And’ but it (pumping iron) or eating spinach hasn’t helped with his second serve problem!

    Side topic: isn’t it nice to see that time wasting and injury feiging isn’t just confiined to the Nou Camp!! :lol:

    And I was enjoying the break… :o
