The interview where he spoke about that was gut wrenching. Shouldn't be forgotten how much it affected the whole family and yes, to overcome that is a credit to all of them.

Crap body (you said it, not me) or lack of skiil?
Oh no you couldn't.
Well it's similar. I tell my body to kick the ball one way, and it goes somewhere else.

... and you don't have the mental strength or desire to improve yourself. Sir Andy Murray did, he worked harder than anyone else and he had one hell of a career. He won't care about the detractors, it's an equal split between "he's Scottish" and "it's only tennis". Fine, on both counts - but those who watch the sport, respect him as a man and a player.
Yeah, my brain is part of my body and that's shit too.
What? I do respect him, he's great. Given us some pride in tennis for the first time in my life. Saying he's not our greatest ever sportsman is hardly an insult, I'd say the same about 99.9% of our great sportsmen.
Oh, and I doubt he worked harder than everyone else. A lot of top sportsmen have also worked tirelessly.

Resident pedant you call yourself. Definitely a word beginning with P.
It is not a question of liking someone or not.
I just find it pathetic that you can take such pleasure in somebody else's misfortune like this. Especially someone who has represented himself and this country for many years with great skill ,courage and dignity and has reached the pinnacle of his sport. As far as I am aware, he has done little or nothing to warrant such a distasteful remark.. Thankfully, I know you will be in the minority.
Your post sounds just like the kind of thing an immature stroppy teenager may have come out with after a playground ruck.
Not sure what I've done to upset you.

I'll tell you all about it over a beer....
But if I tell you on here I feel I will have more strangers on the internet having a go at me. Just not worth it.

Sad to hear that. We have been privileged to see Murray play, win or lose. But the fact that he competed with the tennis greats of the modern era is a testament to the bloke.
Thank-you Andy. I hope you can get your hip sorted.

Giving his absolute all today against Bautista Agut. The crowd are absolutely behind him, all roaring in unison the iconic 'let's go Andy, let's go' chant.

"You plonker, Rodney!"
Go on, Andy!
If anyone can turn this round, he can. He's still fighting.
Looks like we're heading for a tiebreak in the third set.

I am lucky enough to not be at work today, so have the privilege of watching what could be Murray's final match.
As usual, the never-say-die, fighting spirit is there, even if he clearly hasn't 'got it' as he used to have.
Third set tie break about to start. I'd love it if he won it.
