Great to see so many Brits come through qualifying. Especially Raducanu
Well the rules in tennis say you can choose pretty much but 2 seems like it’s reasonable for her to consider herself BritishBut not since birth, so 2, 5 10 where do you choose? Already 3 nations to call home and all would be more appropriate, but I'd say as country of birth, Canadian would be best fit.

John Barnes?Garbage, his parents were both English. Lots of kids born overseas on military bases and completely different scenario as you're well aware. I only said best fit of three already. Butcher had Singapore or England. She had Canada, Romania or China.
Rad has no English heritage and wasn't born in England. If she can choose to be English then it's pointless having nations at all in sport.
You are funny - the rules are the rulesGarbage, his parents were both English. Lots of kids born overseas on military bases and completely different scenario as you're well aware. I only said best fit of three already. Butcher had Singapore or England. She had Canada, Romania or China.

No, I said 3 choices and that was best fit, none of which were England.You said country of birth

Tbh yes. I've no doubt you've spent all day googling to find someone, but if that's the criteria he shouldn't have and tbh I'm more bothered about City than nationally anyway.Guess you are opposed to a certain Cyrille Regis playing for England then
I'm being pedantic but she represents Britain not England, i think that's how it works in tennisNo, I said 3 choices and that was best fit, none of which were England.
Did the media influence who she wanted to represent?Half Romanian, half Chinese and born in Canada. More of a stretch than Greg Rusedski. Media far too hungry for female British slam champion.
Andy Murray played really well despite losing. Shame Tsitsipas resorted to gamesmanship to beat the old man with the metal hip.
Djokovic is a c**t as well.Best I've seen Murray play since 2016/7 season. if he keeps that up he still has a big shout in things next season. Yes gamesmanship at play. The Greek has form on it. Lost respect for him a bit. The Joker to win and become the GOAT.
Djokovic is a c**t as well.
I don't deny his tennis prowess. Roger Federer is the goatHe is a c**t, I do like him though.
What a run
wtf does that have to do with it? She's doing well and I can enjoy her talent as I do with Fed, Djok or Nadal all of whom last time I checked also weren't British.Rob doesn't think she's British though

Absolutely not. This is completely different.But she is legally and in the eyes of the WTA British. You're just one of those weird born in a barn not a horse folk
She’s British cause she says she isAbsolutely not. This is completely different.
If someone is born here, whatever their heritage then imo they can claim to be British.
If any of their parentage or grandparents are british then if they choose to imo they can be british.
If neither of your parents have and british in them or you weren't born here, then I simply don't see how you can claim to be.
And for you of all people to call me weird is one of the strangest things I've ever seen on this board!
Ebben az esetben ma úgy döntöttem, hogy továbblépek, francia-magyar vagyokShe’s British cause she says she is

Oh brilliant, you're telling me what I should and shouldn't think now. Perhaps as well I guess, as I do think you're a c**t.Because that's not how the laws on nationality work, what you think is pretty fucking unimportant in this.
Weirdo
Just a hypothetical but... an Afghan refugee comes over at age two... surely they'd be more British if they feel it (and why wouldn't they when Britain would be the only thing they'd know), than Afghan and feeling an affinity with the Taliban and IS!If neither of your parents have and british in them or you weren't born here, then I simply don't see how you can claim to be.
