And you would know that because of what? What top level of anything have you competed at?

Bullshitting perchance?..

Arrogance amongst sports people is pretty rife. A simple google search using arrogance and sports gives an indication.


Still, no amount of playground logic will be enough to silence me.

Fox.

Murray is a bit unfortunate in that he is playing in a 'golden era' where there are 3 world class players in Federer, Djokovic and Nadal. The odds of him not playing one of them at some point in a tournemant are pretty slim. Just getting to a final of a Grand Slam is a good achievement in itself, especially Wimbledon with all the pressure that is thrown at him. His biggest problem will be how he copes mentally with another Grand Slam final defeat, his fourth I believe. Maybe he just needs a bit of luck to get over the line. Yesterday it was against him in that the rain delay and subsequently playing under the roof played into Fed's hands...

I think its a pretty poor excuse that he's up against 3 world class players...


Would he have fared any better in the era of Borg, McEnroe and Connors ?


He just needs to get better. And he is getting better. He is young ish and likely to be around a bit longer than Federer/Nadal but it would be even better if he could step up to their level.

    • In case anyone is renovating or stripping out an old kitchen, I am looking for a base kitchen unit or carcass to House and oven for a temporary set up kitchen.   Also looking for a run of worktop at least 180 cm long if anyone is disposing of something like this, I would be happy to collect.   thanks   Mila
    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
