Some good tennis was played today. It was a lot closer than 3-0 suggests, but Murray just seemed to want it more.
Phew! He did it! :champion:
But, full marks to Djokovic - even in the final game, he still didn't give up. :up:
Wow. Great win for Andy Murray.
That is some history right there. Amazing
The Scot done good ;)
Well done to Murray. The first British man since Fred Perry to win the tournament (Hopefully Andy is ok with the Brit reference these days lol). I'll have to watch it on iPlayer as I didn't watch it live. :)
He is a Brit. He won remember.Quote:

Its fantastic we've broken that spell for a man but kind of annoying our journalists all seem to be making such a silly mistake. I played tennis at county level when I was a teen and loved my tennis history. I watched the 1998 men's singles final and could at one point name every winner of the last 30 or so years. Why are most British sports journalists covering this story missing this basic piece of knowledge. A friend of mine mentioned all this on a social networking site in Sunday night and I've reached the same conclusion after a bit of a read.
For most of the media women's sport simply doesn't exist. Unless of course the player is sexy, in which case their achievments don't matter so long as the redtops can print loads of pictures of them in skimpy outfits :sQuote:
