Lookit, I’m supporting Feddie, ’cause he’s just cool.
And the BBC commentators are annoying as hell about Murray – last Federer match I watched, they were commenting on the speed of his serves and how Murray would have to improve his own. WTH?

@JamrockRover – I try not to let it show, but yeah, he’s not my favourite

@Kez – Nadal’s a dote and a mightily good player to boot. What’s not to love? Federer’s not my fave person either but I can take it as he’s a fantastic player

@Steve – Beeb journo’s are ridiculous. They thought the Open (golf) last year was in Liverpool… Royal Birkdale’s in Southport, about 20 miles & 50 minutes further North. But then the Beeb’s made in London, by London, for London to a large extent and everything outside London kinds of blurs into the same thing really, so in their defence they probably still think he’s English lol

@Mo – he barely beat a “nobody” so he’s going to get creamed in the next round I expect (hope).

That Fred Perry’s got a lot to answer for winning the bloomin’ thing back in about 423BC… makes awesome shirts though

.. the crowd support was indeed just over the top, and its just a fourth round match .. u r right thou’. The media also has made a big deal of the someone from Britain should win the winbledon (the women british no. 1 had a hard time also, loosing her game, it was just too much pressure on a player.. ONLY for wimbledon) .. and i thought their game was no-way near federer / nadal class

Good ranting there. I can’t quite look at it the same way as you – as I’m Irish and the whole media frenzy around an Englishman winning (they seem to ignore the women mostly?) drives me mental every year. Now granted, it’s still not quite as ear-bleedingly annoying as the Henman escapades – but it’s getting there. Regardless of Murray being a grumpy tw*t as you quite rightly say.

I did enjoy when he first arrived on the scene though – and had no problem at all in correcting some Beeb journo who called him English. Fair play Andy.

I do like him, as a player, but he’s not mah fav’rit. My faaaavourite player happens to have bandy knees and isn’t in this year. Oh Rafa, how I miss you. But yeah… I don’t think he’s the best player in the tournament and I sure as hell don’t think he’s better than Nadal when he’s healthy, or Federer, or Djokovic when he’s not got his head up his arse.

He’s not even my favourite Tennis Andy – that’s Roddick.

But I do like him…

Can I take it you don’t like him then.
