"Mr Smith?s piece contains a number of symbols, including Murray Mints, plant seeds ? representing the seeding system at Wimbledon ? a Union flag and a picture of a kilt.


Mr Smith said he was not a particular Andy Murray supporter, but added: ?I do like watching it now and again."

LOL SJ...I can't stand the game let alone play it. Everyone knows that if a professional player plays enough tournaments they can get their ranking up. Henman never made the final of a grand slam (the only tournaments that matter really) let alone win one. He rarely beat players ranked higher than him. I feel the press treated him like a World Champion when he wasn't and was never going to be.

As others have said, Henman was consistently in the top 10 for years, made a few GS semis, won a masters event (yes masters tournaments do "matter"!), had possibly the best volley in the game at the time.


In what other sport would you call a top 10 player an "average jobbing player at best"? I'm not really into football, but I don't think it would be a stretch to draw an analogy with Gareth Bale or Steven Gerrard.


Plus you have to put it in the context of the previous top British players - guys like Andrew Castle and Jeremy Bates who never even broke the top 50...

I'm not actually Scottish, but being British, have supported him since day one.


Well done Andy.


He played brilliantly when it mattered & had the will to win.


We've waited over 70 years for this.

    • He did mention it's share of freehold, I’d be very cautious with that. It can turn into a nightmare if relationships with neighbours break down. My brother had a share of freehold in a flat in West Hampstead, and when he needed to sell, the neighbour refused to sign the transfer of the freehold. What followed was over two years of legal battles, spiralling costs and constant stress. He lost several potential buyers, and the whole sale fell through just as he got a job offer in another city. It was a complete disaster. The neighbour was stubborn and uncooperative, doing everything they could to delay the process. It ended in legal deadlock, and there was very little anyone could do without their cooperation. At that point, the TA6 form becomes the least of your worries; it’s the TR1 form that matters. Without the other freeholder’s signature on that, you’re stuck. After seeing what my brother went through, I’d never touch a share of freehold again. When things go wrong, they can go really wrong. If you have a share of freehold, you need a respectful and reasonable relationship with the others involved; otherwise, it can be costly, stressful and exhausting. Sounds like these neighbours can’t be reasoned with. There’s really no coming back from something like this unless they genuinely apologise and replace the trees and plants they ruined. One small consolation is that people who behave like this are usually miserable behind closed doors. If they were truly happy, they’d just get on with their lives instead of trying to make other people’s lives difficult. And the irony is, they’re being incredibly short-sighted. This kind of behaviour almost always backfires.
