Like to see all Brits do well.
You ever been? Not a huge fan of tennis myself but took the other half down there last year for her birthday on the opening day with seats on court 3 all day

Murray has got it tough this year with the route he's gotta take to the final, but he proved last year he can get there. Lets hope he can take the final step this year. Would quite like to see Laura Robson and Heather Watson so well again this year. Up the Brits!

Nothing to do with his nationality, Andy Murray is one of the dullest and most dour personalities in sport. Obviously would be nice to see him break Britain's 70 year duck but he doesn't make it easy to support him!

We went through Newmarket holidays. Check them out online obviously too late for this year but had hotel overnight, return transfer from hotel to Wimbledon & all day tickets court 3.
Good day out, better & easier than the lottery of going through Wimbledon themselves to get tickets

Not a great tennis fan, even less of a Murray fan.
From a nationalistic point of view, Murray went down the toilet when he didn't want to be called British but Scottish all those years ago, long memory me. I hope he makes it to the final and loses again! :jerkit:

When did he say that then?

Quite, the actual truth was that Tim henman was doing an interview with his good friend Andy Murray and teased him about Scotland not qualifying so Andy said he would support whoever England were playing.
Nothing about hating England, nothing about not wanting to represent Britain, just banter between mates.
Unfortunately the singleminded sheep of this country then wanted Murray hung drawn and quartered without knowing the facts as witnessed above.
Rant over!!! I'm a big Tennis, Murray and truth fan!!!

To be fair if you've ever been to Scotland you'll know it's full of people with chips on their shoulders who will support such teams more fervently than their own.

They have to find someone to support as Scotland are usually out of any competition even before qualifying has finished.

No he didn't, see above response.
Totally agree Robbo, big Murray fan, his comments on England in the World cup were purely tongue in cheek and totally misreported in 90% of the british press.
People say he is dull and dour but can anyone actually name a sports person who does show a personality when competing these days and has been as successful as he has? It would have been so easy for him to just be the British no1 and hover around the world top 8-16, go out on the lash and act like a footballer throughout his career but his desire and drive to actually win something of international creditability stifles that.
Name the last british "personality" in sport that won anything of any significance. The closest I have is Ronnie O'S but lets be honest Snooker is a world away from high quality sporting "athletes".

A World Champion nonetheless. Where does it say in the rules that someone has to have a bubbly / wacky / happy personality to be a World Champion? And YOU mention Ronnie O'Sullivan! The most miserable git in ANY sport! Ha!

As with all threads, mate, they get drifted off-track. Incidentally, the title of this tread reads "WIMBLEDON". So what are you trying to say? :thinking about:

How simple a question is THAT. I answered it! End of!

Define "personality" in the context of the most part of this thread?

Lewis Hamilton seems a very interesting and intelligent guy in interviews. He's not much of a personality on the 'weeeeeey banter!!!!' scale, but who wants that?
It's the same with Murray; he's got a reputation as being dour and miserable, but in anything where he doesn't have a thousand microphones pointing at him asking the same old questions he's engaging and self-aware.

Why are you asking me? This wasn't my post. Ask someone called "Dalycov", a new poster.

No I'm asking you because you seemed to deviate from the point in question, he put it quite well I thought.
