"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.

      I totally agree it just seems that it a thing nowadays.  It must be due to how fireworks are sold.

      Fireworks

      By first mate · Posted

      If it was limited to a couple of days a year, so we all knew, that would be fine. In the last few years (and it is a recent thing) you get random fireworks going off any time after dusk for half the year. It does more than cause problems for pets and wildlife- it can mean lasting damage and massive expense and hassle for pet owners. All because some get a buzz out of loud bangs.

      Ohh dear.  Fireworks can be great fun.  Where I used to live the kids would have firework wars/games.  Watching them was more enjoyable than watching  TV. (Which you could hardly hear due to the pops and bangs).  It's not like anyone/anything could stop them. I would still prefer organised public displays that are affordable.   And I agree that fireworks cause problems for wild life, pets and people.   It seems to be one of those things that just happens so we have to put up with it.  But it is still not as problematic here as in other areas in London - that's for sure.
