We were always told that it was lack of courts and that it was an upper class sport not affordable or available to the masses. Sweden had nothing prior to Borg but within 10 years had two more great champions (Wilander and Edberg) and a lot of other Top 50 pros. Whether Murray will inspire the same is doubtful, but you never know.

I was looking at Sue Barkers Wiki padge, as she's from our neck of the woods, and it appears that an LTA bloke tried to totally get her to change her forehand, and Bob Roberts resigned from the LTa and avised her to go to America because of it. Is it just our obsession with technical correctness, that kills off individuality, I mean in the end in tennis there's always got to be a time when you stand alone and either win/lose the big points. Nothing orthodox about Konta.

Utter trash that from Coco. Shame because the talent is obviously there, but absurdly brittle when put under pressure.

Superb slam for far from Rybarikova, but Gabby should handle her comfortably enough.

Really is an hateful woman, sorry for your money 'n' all but was so happy she lost. Think people get carried away with the power too, she's got a lot of limitations. Don't think she was helped by the slowness of these courts but dems the breaks, and couldn't happen to a nicer person.

Happy with all 4 winners now, no Nike winners which makes me happy with my sad parocial view of things (can you believe Nike binned Ostapenko so they could carry on having Dimitrov and Bouchard lead their campaigns, they maybe pretty but it's not a good look). Rybarikova would be a bit of an unkown for the sport and not great for the tournament, but quite frankly Wimbledon deserve that, and a Cilic win in the mens They've been shocking this year, from getting the cameras out at Roehampton and charging because they thought Sharapova would turn up, to the ***ist court, to the Novak farce yesterday. Just doesn't matter to them coz idjits will still queue like sheep.

I'l cut her some slack, not sure she is a Trump supporter, but definitely leans Republican. She is incredibly obnoxious on court though and could only ever be supported if you have financial interest in her.:huh:

Cilic, Murray, Novak and Federer all very short tomorrow with the bookies, surely one of them must struggle?

Well at least I got the most in the format I actually care about.

Congrats Marcuss though. Killed it in the womens draw where everyone else faltered hard.
