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.
