[shaunbhoy]

Just making sure you knew you were cheering a hun

Other than that, yup, excellent achievment for a Scot to win a grand slam Must have been all that training he had as a kid playing on a gravel court with a washing line for a net

The yanks would love to film his life story.

• They'll start with him dodging bullets at Dunblane school
• Running away from home to Spain as a 13-year-old to learn the game and chase his dream
• Throwing up on court in every match
• Getting beaten from pillar to post every year by the Big Three (all non-Americans so all baddies)
• Being written off as a loser
• Being thrashed in his third grand slam final and reaching his nadir... then...
• Taken on by a reclusive, surly, all-American ex-pro who has never coached before and prefers golf...

What's the betting?

And the end titles start with him fulfilling his dream of being handed a Green Card by newly elected US President Mandela.

Sport based films are always crap. Robert Duvall came over to Scoland a few years back to make a football film, think it was called 'A shot at glory' or some such tulipe. He was 'presented to the fans' at half time of a Kilmarnock/Motherwell game, as they were using Kilmarnock's stadium for filming. When he was introduced as 'Hollywood Superstar, Robert Duvall' his speech was drowned out with choruses of 'F**k Off Baldy'. That short cameo appearance was still better than the film

He's a Brit

He's a Scot, and well done to him. Nadal seems a bit off the boil, Federer is #1 and Djokovic has been beaten in two slams on the trot so hopefully the game is more open to the top 4 this year.

Is Nadal not constantly injured at the moment or something ?

I think Murray's experience in the Olympics and having Lendl as a coach has probably helped him with that mental aspect of 'getting over the finishing line'. I might be wrong but I'm sure his previous coaches didn't have that kind of major experience. Was Lendl not also the one who couldn't win Slams on grass but was lethal on clay ?

Moneyball was quite good.

Moneyball was quite good.

Dodgeball as well.

Escape to Victory is good fun too.

Are you in the States still. I really dread to think what federal laws your broke by betting offshore.

No. I'm in London. Flew back on Sunday.
Fell asleep on the sofa at 11pm woke up with two games to go. Bloody jet lag.
