Your chances are so small as to think you might not bother. You grow up in rainly small town Scotland with zero previous sporting history, survive the trauma of the Dunblane massacre, spend hundreds of days practicing on a peeling public tennis court, and undertake many hard years of training to rise up to decent junior level. Onc=e day you make Wimbledon..."come on Tim"...bullshit....and get to the second round. You compete well but still the pessimism. The papers, the doubters. You'll never win it. Then several more years of persistence, HARD SLOG training, a US grand slam win, an olympic gold medal and FINALLY.....you smash the doubters by winning the Mens Championship at the worlds greatest tennis competition.


And still. And still you have people giving it "AM wont win a grand slam final".


Personality aside....what more does AM have to do?

Like quite a few others I quite like the moodey, not too media trained old bugger. I'd never trust a scot who didn't say they wanted England to lose for starters

He should have popped up in the unpopular things you like thread really. Tough to win but reckon he will win tomorrow. 3-1. C'moan Murray. On the BBC early tomorrow.

    • We’d like to add our recommendation for Lukasz and team at L&L Building & Maintenance.  Lukasz has recently installed a roof terrace for us, and we’ve found him a pleasure to work with from start to finish. We contacted about a dozen recommended builders and found his quote very competitive. During the build his team delivered quality work, they were no hassle in the house at all and they kept the place tidy every day. The terrace looks great, and we’re very happy customers. What stood out in particular was Lukasz’s responsiveness, right from discussing quotes to follow-up during the build. Lukasz often checked in and was always available when we needed him.  We’ll definitely contact Lukasz again for future building work and we’d happily recommend him to others looking for a reliable builder.   Lukasz Kugaczewski L&L Building & Maintenance 07926651960 [email protected] www.landl-build.com
    • Yes, I did mention the train, which I now get from East Dulwich to Guys instead of the 40. Depends where in East Dulwich you are starting from which route is easiest! I think it is probably lack of staff rather than lack of hospitals which is the problem?
    • What can be done? How about reporting it to the police? 
    • I can also strongly recommend Lukasz after he completed some floorboard repairs and some complex repairs to skirting damaged through dog chews. He is responsive, punctual, reasonably priced, detail-oriented and his work is to a very high standard.
