    Should be Wimbledon. The pressure he had on him before winning there was immense, then to win gold on centre court too, magnificent. To finish a year world number one and win the ATP tour in a period with the best ever was amazing.

    He's a class act. Very dry sense of humour which some never really got.

    Bows out as a legend of British sport. In my book the best ever, which is all the more remarkable considering his career at the top level was effectively cut short by seven years. Pretty sure he was world No 1 and reigning Wimbledon champion when his hip gave way.

    His record at Queen's was unparalleled so it makes sense and I'm sure Wimbledon will also pay tribute. A statue has been mooted. As you say those moments were some of the greatest ever in British sport.

    What I think, though, does get overlooked is that UK sport did little to earn the kudos Andy's global success brought them. It was only by moving to Spain at 15 that he became the player he did. I'm not sure enough effort has been made here to build on that legacy.

    Phenomenal performance by Andy's Olympic doubles partner Dan Evans at the US Open. 4-0 down in the fifth set yet comes back to win in 5 hours and 35 minutes!

    Alcaraz and Djokovic both crash out of the US Open in the early rounds. Maybe Andy should have stuck around ;-)

    Seriously, Sinner must be confident he can add to his Slam tally.

    Medvedev could still win it

    Jack Draper with decent chance to reach q/f today.

    Sinner looks very good overall

    Yep, he looked the real deal.

    Draper storms into the semi-finals. That's a cracking win over De Minaur in straight sets.

    Think he's been a bit under the radar due to lengthy injuries, but he definitely looks like he's capable of big things.

    Scotland's Charlie Robertson into the last eight of the US Open Juniors. Mentored by Andy Murray.

    I think Sinner will win the tournament but Draper has been brilliant so far and will only improve

    Top ten player next season I would reckon

    Shades of a young Andy Murray, who used to be sick quite often on court until he built himself up to the level needed to compete consistently in the latter stages of Slams. Draper actually played very well despite the fact he must have been feeling horrendous. His time will come.

    Yup , He certainly didn't give Sinner the game

    Murray playing golf in the pro am prior to the BMW at Wentworth next week alongside Bob McIntyre. Be interesting to see his standard.

    Quite odd watching him play a sport other than tennis...looks like he could be pretty useful at golf though.

    It was. I bet there was plenty of Hibs chat on the way round.
