Unfortunately in the eyes of some Murray will never be forgiven for not being English.3

The ten major honours in 12 years that weren’t won by those men were shared as below:
- Juan Martin Del Potro (1)
- Andy Murray (5)
- Stan Wawrinka (3)
- Marin Cilic (1)
Murray quite easily the best ever British tennis player, male or female, and IMO gets into contention for best ever British sportsperson too.
Pinsent - 4 in 4

a very quick 5 Olympians off the top of my head who you could argue would challenge Murray for that title..
there will be dozens over the years that would be in the same position.0 -

I enjoyed that banter from Murray, after he was given stick by a reporter first about Scotland not being at a World Cup. He’s got a dry personality and humour which some people can’t handle.6
-
Yeah he has always been quite funny away from the court. Great tennis player but not our greatest sportsman - in my opinion.3

He didn’t actually wear a Paraguay shirt, he joked about it after being ribbed about Scotland not being there.

I know because I was in the middle of it.
I just hope the French police are doing exactly the same & more.1 - Sponsored links:

I'd like it to go like that for the Paris because the French get a bad rap from too many Brits, and they have made hugely impressive investments in stuff that will benefit Paris for years to come while not building too many new sports facilities with no future. And it's not their fault that the bloody Russians have been allowed in.2 -
I’ve only just realised the Olympics are on. God knows how I’ve managed to miss that.2

My main interest is in the men's basketball. USA have sent a 'dream team' so are strong favourites but anything can happen over 40 minutes a game. That's on Eurosport 6, wherever the hell that is.0 -
Love the Opening Ceremony1
