So do you think Murray the Mouth will be supported well by the Wimbledon crowd who were so loyal to Tim Henam over the last decade? I personally think that only Scots will come down with their Scottish flags and Murray will not be liked very much at all by the English part of the crowd. The fact that he pulled out of the Davis cup didn`t help his reputation. And can anyone tell me, how such a young healthy man, earning millions doing a sport he loves always sounds so depressed and gloomy when interviewed?

If he makes the semis at Wimbledon the crowd will happily mob his opponent and tear his limbs off if Cliff Richard gives the signal. Anyone who believes otherwise is deluding themselves. Oh how I look forward to the joys of seeing double-faults applauded, shouts from the crowd during the opponent's ball toss, and cheers every time he nets a volley on breakpoint.

Of course the "reaching the semi-finals" bit is still a very big fat "if".

Of course the public will support Murray if he gets to the semi finals at Wimbledon. We'll have giggling Sue asking him the old chestnut how it feels to be in the semi final at Wimbledon, we'll have the old dears with their paper hats saying "Go Andy Go" exhibiting passion on the only occasion in their year, we'll have little cameos showing Andy gurning, slipping over, patting a ball girl on the head. Come on we'll all get caught up in it, we'll see the mute celebrities posing in their enclosure for the cameras, we'll even have jokes made about Andy's surliness and his hangdog manner. If a Brit gets to the semi final at Wimbledon, he could look like Quasimodo, go ballistic if the English football team is mentioned, and have a mouth like a sewer. All would be forgiven just to see our success starved tennis nation achieve a modicum of success.

Yep JoT I have to say if he gets there I will be attempting for the umpteenth time since I was ten to master Superman's ability to make burning rays exit my eyes and bore into the skull of his opponent. I'd like to think I'd never cheer a double though, not in the live audience at least

I would seriously like him to start playing some impressive tennis again soon though. I'd settle for that to be going on with.

"He said he was 'flat' and did'nt think it was a very important competition"

This completely explains why he's doing so well in the Grand Slams and Masters Series this year, doesn't it

Murray has got all the talent but I'm afraid not the McEnroe attitude to go all the way.By the way why isnt the greatest player ever to play the game Rod Laver not out on dvd this year being the winner of the first Wimbledon open final against Tony Roche after all it is the 40th anniversary this year of that classic event.
