If we could find 11 players with the same strength and desire as this lad,we'd never lose a game again.

I think he's one of the greatest ever sportsmen.

Totally agree, and one of the most underrated. Just never seems to have got the credit he deserves.

More to do with his Nationality and his comments i suspect.He was also hugely unlucky to be playing in an era that produced the best players the game has ever seen.

Murray got some balls on him, many would have just given up and worked on TV, the hip replacement should have finished him and even just playing for fun would have been hard with the pain and lack of movement.

Legend of British tennis that we had all been waiting for and delivered the goods many times,

I first saw Andy when he was a teenager. It was obvious then that he had something special. Nearly twenty years later, he’s still got it.

For anyone that doesn’t like him watch the documentary resurfacing it’s amazing.
He is rightly Sir Andy
It’s just a shame injury robbed him as he could’ve and probably deserved 2 or 3 more slams

Where do so stand I’m not sure I could decide -
Murray for the Australian open title or
City for the Champions League
Probably Murray City will win it sooner or later

I’ve always liked Murray. Great tennis player and had the weight of winning Wimbledon on him for so long. Has got some minerals this chap.

Never understood that hate he generates in some quarters. Possibly due to when he was about 19 making some comment about wanting whoever was playing England he wanted them to win.

He’s had a career ending injury and fought on. He was there at dunblane and that horrific day and has never sought To use it as any excuse for anything.


Top top top bloke who I wish nothing but success and happiness for.

They should knight him again. Arise Sir Sir Andy Murray!

He's got Agut next

that's a big ask

Agut has beaten him last 3 times, twice last year and at Doha open 6-0/6-1

yeah, big ask going again in a short space of time, but maybe he is pain free and fully fit, so let's hope he can recover and go again, one thing is he will fight tooth and nail to try and win
