Andy Murray

***AltheHibby*** · 12-01-2019 12:54 PM

Can't forgive him for nearly killing my dog!

When he won Wimbledon me and Mrs Al both screamed so loudly the pooch nearly had a heart attack. 😁

Seriously, he's a fantastic sportsman and an inspiration to so many.

And if you're reading this, thanks for everything Andy.

Murrays achievements will live on and be talked about for decades to come . Iv never even heard of Sandy Lyle

Just imagine someone saying in a couple of decades time, I've never heard of Andy Murray.

It doesn't negate their achievement, it just highlights the lack of knowledge on the part of the person who says it.

Nothing against either contained stoicism or ostentatious show of genuine emotion. People are different and have different coping strategies for stress. The only people worth judging are the professional judges who feel moved to constantly pass judgement on others behavior and believe the rest of the world really gives that much of a toss.

I remember being in the boozer in Skopje after Scotland had lost 1 0 to Macedonia and the Scotland fans singing"We're only here for the tennis" as Andy battled away in the US Open Semi. 😀

The only consolation I can think of is we won't have to put ourselves through the nail-biting, nerve-shredding, gut-wrenching experience of watching Andy in a GS semi-final or final or in one of his epic five-setters coming back from 2-0 down!

Still, will miss him.

On the brighter side, don't know if anyone noticed, but Jamie and his partner, Bruno Soares, won the Men's Doubles at the Sydney International tournament (beat the No. 1 seeds) and so look to be in decent form for the Aussie Open. They also reached the final of the tournament in Brisbane.

Hope the Big Man can make it through to Wimbledon but he'll be in pieces if he does, with the reception he's sure to get. He's going to be an emotional wreck on Monday or Tuesday when he gets on court in Melbourne.
Three Slams, eight other finals, two Olympic golds, a Davis Cup single-handedly, 14 Masters tournaments - all in the toughest era tennis has ever known - absolutely incredible.
Hopefully he can help bring through another Scottish tennis star - as well as mentoring our two lads to great things.
A LEGEND.

As much as Murray contributed to that win, it's very harsh (untrue in fact) to say he won it on his own.

Did he not play and win almost every match?

Sure he won his two single ties and the pairs with his brother so suppose you could say won it himself. True champion he is.

Yes but I'm sure one of the early ties was won 3-2 including a singles win from James Ward.

And obviously, Jamie Murray played his part in the doubles.

Much respect and can't disagree with all the accolades already stated, but am I the only one who thinks he let's himself down a bit by his tendency to greet in public, like a bairn whose sweeties have been taken off him. Man up FFS!
Yes he has worked fur Cunard, but he has had a stellar career doing what he loves and is absolutely minted because of it. Life goes on Andy. Be thankful and move on to the next chapter in your life.
Contrast with The Big Yin's recent public appearances.

So glad I don’t know anyone like you.

Yeah Ward put GB 2-0 up in the first round match v the USA with a 5 set win over John Isner (he won 15-13 in the fifth set).

That was his last win for GB in the Davis Cup.

**Pretty Boy** · 13-01-2019 07:19 PM

Can we keep the whole 'yoons' and 'nats' stuff off this thread and this board please. There's an entire thread dedicated to it elsewhere and it's referenced on various other threads there. You can bore each other to death with your point scoring on those.

It's irrelevant to this discussion and, much to some of your disappointment, everything doesn't boil down to who does and doesn't support independence. Deal with it.

***Tynie01011973*** · 14-01-2019 09:23 AM

Two sets down and tiebreak in 3rd set ATM. Murray 2-0

AO 1st round and it sounds like a Wimbledon final , absolutely packed and going nuts every point Murray wins

**Pretty Boy** · 14-01-2019 09:35 AM

What an absolute legend. He looks like he can barely walk but sheer willpower is giving him a chance. Crowd are responding to his heart in some style as well.
