That's an excellent idea Mr.Ben. Power tennis is becoming boring to watch and I was an avid player and watcher. If they can get rid of the belly putter in golf how about doing something similar with racquets in tennis?


By the way the only other Scottish born men's singles winner was 117 years ago (though Ireland lays claim to him being their's).

Also though, I find it more interesting when the same person isn't winning all the time, which tennis does seem to suffer from. I think that's why I've never consistently followed it as a sport (and I do like sport). At present though it seems that, both mens and womens are not in the stranglehold of one or two players at the top..

That's true - but it seems to have gone from one extreme to the other!

Took a bit longer than I thought...Murray 1 win away from being world number 1. What an achievement for the laddie from Dunblane..

As he pointed out today himself, he's not officially #1 until Monday - if he were to be disqualified from the final tomorrow for bad behaviour all his points from this event would be forfeited and he would remain #2. He promised to be on his best behaviour and keep his racquet in hand!

I'd just like to repost my OP from 2012 :


"He can do it. And for those who don't want him to win for whatever reason, it will be another 50 years before we see this again. So get behind him"

      Do you feel unsafe in London?

      By Eats Dulwich · Posted

      I sometimes don't feel as comfortable as I did but it's not because I'm older, it's because I'm sober. Staggering home when I was younger I always felt I like a had a cloak of invisibility around me. And a magic compass - not even sure how I found my way home some nights.

      Do you feel unsafe in London?

      By NewWave · Posted

      I'm London born and bred and have always considered myself streetwise having grown up in Notting hill (pre getrification) and I lived on the border of Harlesden (kensal green) in the 90's  when it was pretty sketchy round there .and I spent much of the 80's and early 90's in downtown New York.. I would walk everywhere at all hours of the day and night and never felt particularly uneasy largely because I was always mindful of my surroundings and walked with 'purpose'. I don't know wether its because I'm now so much older but I don't feel as comfortable as I used to walking round London. Today I was in the West end and I made sure to carry my bag on the opposite arm to that facing the kerb and felt uneasy when I saw people wizzing around on limebikes or scooters close to the kerb..I never got my phone out at all...I never used to feel like this but just recently I've had friends witness phone and bag snatching in central london in broad daylight..apparently it happened so fast in both instances there was nothing anyone could do to help..One phone snatching was during the tube strike 7.30am two guys on bikes grabbed a mans phone..My friend took the victim to a nearby hotel to sit down and recover the hotel said due to the tube strike they had witnessed many duo's of youth out very early on bikes aware that there were more pedestrians around at that time with their phones out trying for Ubers or looking at directions. I would'nt say I feel 'unsafe' I just feel more aware of being a possible target for crime than formerly. I don't know if this is due to being older or due to reading the press.

      The fact everyone has had a CCTV camera in their pockets for the last 15+ years has done a huge amount to prevent and mitigate random drunken violence.  Thugs can't get away with what they used to anymore.
