Nationality doesn't enter into it. The winner of any tennis tournament should always be the player who pulls out an exceptional performance during the course of the event.
It's too early to say who I want to win.

I'd like to see Roddick or Karlovic win - and I quite like the Scottish. Shirley Manson is my favourite one.

Fed v Murray final, with a closer match than last years US Open final. Preferably Murray to win, but Woger is going to be difficult to stop.
This is true... the sports minister must be off his head to suggest that the best thing to develop more British tennis talent is to put LESS money into it - meaning that the players would have to fight harder for funds.
What would actually happed is the funds would just be spread thinner. In my opinion, like.
Isn't that a bit like saying "I don't know who I want to win the World Cup, it depends who plays the best in the tournament, Nationality doesn't come into it".
Or "I don't know who I want to win the FA Cup, it depends who puts in the best performances in it". Meaning you would probably want Man Utd or Chelsea to win it over the Albion.
LB, I put it to you that you are a GLORY HUNTER.

Nationality is an ESSENTIAL element of World Cup football or the Euros, as long as my team are still in the competition. When they've been dumped out, I have no problems wanting Greece (or whoever) to win - if they deserve to.
Likewise the FA Cup - if I can be bothered to follow the tournament once the Albion are out.
Tennis players are the same - except that none of them represent a nation. They play for themselves. I want the best to win.
Were the folk at Glastonbury disappointed that Springsteen outshone the brave British veteran, Tom Jones? Of course not.
If, once the Albion had been knocked out, Crystal Palace put in a string of superb performances in the FA Cup, or even in the league, would you want them to win the competition?
Tennis players do play for themselves, but nationality should come into it. If we had a really great English player who got to the final but was maybe just a bit below the best in the world, would you prefer the best in the world to win the tournament?
And music is not sport, sport is competitive. It was not Springsteen vs Jones, it was Springsteen AND Jones.

Because I have been supporting him for years, the guy is absolute class, why should I change now because a Scot has a chance. I thought we were all European these days anyway and I don't feel obliged to support an Irishman, Welshman or Scot just because there is no Englishman playing.
