Pumped out of Olympics in first round from some unknown Chinese Taipie player in straight sets.  He can be British this week then!!

 

Is it still Fred Perry ?

With the exception of him of Toothless Tiger, I'd personally struggle to name one

 

Dan Evans

Kyle Edmund

Alex Bogdanovic

James Ward

 

Is about all I can name. Ross Hutchins too but he's not playing at the moment. Actually not sure if Bogdan is either. Plus he's actually about as British as Greg Rusedski.

 

Anyway they're all shite apart from Andy.

Oh and another Scot. Jamie Baker.

Baker's retired. Liked him til he said he was jealous of his brothers making shitloads of cash as investment bankers so that's what he's going to do too. banker.

Yeah, he should keep playing tennis and eating widden sausages. Just for you.

Investment bankers are huge fuds.

 

Slightly more OT, noticed Reporting Scotland mentioning the Glasgow commonwealths organisers decision to exclude tennis from the games. What utter fannies! How can they be expected to put on a decent games if they don't even think to try and include our greatest current sportsman (given Hoy's retired anyway)?

 

Wallopers.

Would he play in a commonwealth games? Would be a pretty low quality competition

If I was him I'd only play if there were no better tournaments to play. Which there probably would be. Although maybe he'd be pleased with the chance to represent Scotland instead of Great Britain.

It would probably depend upon his slam plans. Having seen him play Davis Cup at Braehead simply playing in Scotland meant a great deal, I think representing Scotland would have too.

I know the chances that you made that pic are remote, Kow, but it irks me that the US Open isn't seen as important enough to be on it because they've got the cheek to hold the tournament outside of Great Britain.

Good point, well made!

Isn't just because its a British winner in a British Olympics and a British tournament, and it was a Scot that did it?

 

 

 

 

Lost in the quarters of the Cincinnati masters to Tomas Berdych last night

Some fucked up scheduling going on, Murray plays his first round match after some have played their second round matches.  Hope he's not at a disadvantage by not starting the tournament until day 3.

Aye I wondered wtf the fuck that was all about. Hope it doesn't bite him on the arse.

Dunno what the fuck he's playing at at the moment.

He's not playing at all - that's the problem!!

Miserable performance. Poor poor show.

While Wawrinka was excellent, Murray was really disappointing.

He's not done much since Wimbledon!

 

And Sean Connery was looking a little frail!

 

Was it down to the apparent back problem (which I thought was fake all along  ) or a less hungry-for-success Andy Murray out on court? The Australian Open will be interesting.

He beat some egg chaser by almost 350,000 votes last night. Good stuff.

That's great - didn't really need to vote 4 times for him then 

Should've won it years ago.

Watching the Nadal match just now before I get up for work - do you reckon Murray & Federer will still be on court at 12 if I take an early lunch and head to the pub
