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.

He speaks 'boring'. He once made a joke about the English football team. He once breathed that he wished Scotland could be independent. Er, and ......thats it folks!

One of the greatest if not the greatest sportsman that the UK has ever produced and way under appreciated.
 
If I remember correctly that infamous interview he was due to play Roddick and England had a world Cup group game on the same day. He was having banter with Henman over who he's supporting during the world Cup with Scotland not being in it.

Are any of these matches streaming or on non sub TV?

It’s all on Eurosport or discovery plus this year. If you’ve got sky, you can get discovery plus for free. Aside from that though, you’d need to look at other places…

So one option is you could sign up for the 7 day free trial for discovery plus with your Amazon prime (or direct on the discovery website), then cancel it next Monday :)

I'm v cautious of signing up for even more stuff and neglecting to cancel (I've got 3 months Apple TV for free but need to keep an eye on that....but that bastards keep producing great content).

I know what you mean. I forgot about that one too, paid for it for three extra months and didn’t watch a single thing on it! Two weeks after I cancelled it, they offered me another six months free so I immediately put it in the calendar to make sure I cancel this time.

If you’re just getting it for the tennis though, cancel straight after the final finishes :)
 
I see Raducanu won her match at Indian Wells, but her wrist problem re-occurred. Let’s hope it’s not a repeat of Laura Robson another highly talented player who struggled from age 23 onwards with a wrist injury until she finally retired at 28, with a big talent unfulfilled.
 
She knocked out the 13th seed last night, best she's looked since winning the US Open.

She faces number 1 ranked Swiatek in the last round, obviously not expecting her to win that but if she does then she's back back.
