 Brilliant, Buffy!

 

Agree with your first comment too, of course adding Nadal in there. However, apart from the Republic, I do hope the Welsh/ Northern Irish lose- as well as obviously the English and Scottish.

 

You can be a good sport like Murray, without needing to be a 'gentleman'. Cricket is supposed to be a gentlemanly sport as well isn't it. They still jump around.

 

Haha. No. But Tennis is rather different you see. So maybe you should turn off all the silly arrogant people who celebrate doing well against other top professionals who they respect so much. Stick to the obscure art and piano whilst mourning over the gentlemanly game that you have lost. Rather than bringing down people who sometimes show their natural passion in a way / place you don't like.

 

Far from the truth. He's pretty laidback (maybe you regard that as arrogance). And you must realise how boring those interviews are. You just don't like the media hype and are making up rubbish.

 

On another note. Was cool watching the Bryan Brothers lose yesterday (not that I have anything against them, but upsets are fun).

 

Oh dear.

I know Dan King-Turner is in qualifying today,  i have no idea what the story is with Sacha and Marina?

 

Sacha could be an outside chance. Some good results in the last few months of last year. Some good wins against players in the top 150, but it'll be a lot tougher for her to qualify for this I would think.

 

When did you meet him WPF?

 

Yea, Laura Robson. Didn't actually see it. 15 years old I'm pretty sure. Her and Murray had good banter going on in their interviews. She must've thought she'd won the tournament after winning in the final in her singles vs Spain - then Murray goes and bloomin' loses!

 

Haha, I read one article during the tournament where they called her English and Murray British!!!

 

haha yea thats about right

Good start for Scottish tennis on Day 1. Murray and Baltacha winning. Andy looking tremendous. Against lower ranked opponent of course, but still some simply stunning play.

 

Definately. Should win next one easy too. Third round he has Melzer, who won first two sets against Murray a couple of years ago before losing. If you're not playing top tennis in these things you can easily go down to a lower ranked opponent. That's why Federer's record is so amazing.

 

Enough to make it classy.
