Never mind....on a brighter sporting note!

the country could do with having a homegrown male player winning its most prestigious Tennis tournament for the first time in over 70 years...

If you consider Spain "homegrown"

Well not all of us are comfortable having Rafael Nadal duvet sets. But whatever floats your boat.

Another player you'd no doubt like to get behind. Tell us more

Care to explain just what you base his being "a twat" on? Oh that's right, he didn't paint a St George's Cross on his face during Euro 2004!!

Nothing to do with Euro 2004. It's an opinion based on listening to him interviews, his on-court demeanour and general behaviour.

You mean he is not in the BNP?

****wit!!

WTF? Now you're just clutching. Lay off the beer and get your hand out your skirt.

So presumably you think that the entire England World Cup Squad are "twats" too then? Not that you would be unique in drawing that conclusion.

I shall be supporting him.

Whatever his supposed failings, he's been consistently near the top of the rankings for a while, and you don't get their by being rubbish. It would be nice to see him step up to the next level and actually win a grand slam, and if that is going to happen then it would be great to see it happen on home soil.

According to some Tim Henman was rubbish despite being in the top 10 for most of his career.

I still wanted him to win though. Forlorn hope that it was.....

First set to Andy M.!!



Another straight sets win for our boy. The only quarter-finalist not to have dropped a set yet.
Good to see that some of our athletes still know how to handle pressure.
