Who is so proud of his country's independence that he moved abroad to avoid paying taxes there.

He didn't move abroad to avoid paying taxes in Scotland.

Last time I checked, Scotland did not set or collect taxes.

Oh and well done Andy. Interestingly to win their first grand slam Federer had to beat Philipousis, Djokovic had to beat Tsonga and Nadal had to beat Mariano Puerta. Just shows how much tougher Andy has had it trying to get his first - hope he goes on and wins a hatfull now...

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 ?

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
