Oh some women have won it. The way it was made out on the TV it's as if no British person has won it in 77 years.Trinity wrote:Anyway. Murray is only the first British man to win W since Perry. Four women have done it since, Wade was the last in '77.
Oh right! Because the men's tournament is more important to win somehow

In my crystal ball, I see Jeremy Paxman apologizing at the end of Newsnight tonight. Last night, he somehow managed to imply (indirectly) that Andy Murray was ... English.

Re: Andy Murray is still British ...
That's interesting because the Beeb earlier made smug emphatic yet semi-serious mention of the fact that women had won it but not men. Still perhaps its less important because they only play 2/3 of a full match. Not that I'm saying they should play 5 sets, Mens tennis should be reduced to 3. That way it might be over a lot fucking quicker.Animavore wrote:Oh some women have won it. The way it was made out on the TV it's as if no British person has won it in 77 years.Trinity wrote:Anyway.

I hate all this petty tribalism. Chuck out the English and Scots, bloody illegal immigrants that they are, and form a new country...Albion perhaps?

Murray beat Verdasco today again in the French Open. A very entertaining 3-setter, especially when the effects mike caught Verdasco's foul-mouthed ranting at the umpire late on.

Re: Andy Murray is still British ...
The big question is: If Murray somehow beats Nadal tomorrow, will David Cameron come to the final? And/or Alex Salmond?
Come to think of it, will Putin be at Roland Garros on Saturday to support Sharapova? One suspects not somehow.

Re: Andy Murray is still British ...
Hey! Murray finally won another tournament - his first since Wimbledon,. Granted, it was not a big one, but they all count.
Watching him struggle in the heat and humidity in China confirms that yes, he is definitely British Scottish.
