Someone said Andy has no balls.
Maybe it was me.
He certainly showed he had balls against Bagdhatis, dropping them out of his shorts so he was.
The irony of all this is that tennis in the UK is in a worse state than it was five years ago, despite Henman and Murray.
I am not sure what difference it would make if Murray wins Wimbledon.
If it happens, all the detractors will merely move on to suggest he won't win another, and only won it because blah, blah, blah...
Seems the real problem with sports in the UK is we cannot really get behind our sports men and women for more than a week or so when there is a major competition, the rest of the time we pull them to pieces and undermine them.
We still produce major sports stars, so perhaps it is a good thing. It certainly works for the music and arts arenas, the music press and its constant berating artists seems to stimulate achievement.
I wonder if Murray had the unconditional support Nadal has had, over the years by his country people, nation or whatever, whether he might have settled earlier in his career and achieved more.
They just don't have that culture of tearing people down in Spain.
