What a career, the only small shame about his career, he never had a gimme slam final and no I don't think Raonic on grass was one, he deserved more than 3 slams but heh the boy done well.Farewell Andy

He also had two Olympic golds, didn’t he? He played most of his career against the 3 greatest players of all time and held his own against them. It’s a pretty solid haul, considering. Any other era, he would have finished with double digit slams.What a career, the only small shame about his career, he never had a gimme slam final and no I don't think Raonic on grass was one, he deserved more than 3 slams but heh the boy done well.
I guess in any other era, would he have been as driven to be that good, it simply wouldn't have been necessary. It took quite a while for most of Britain (well England) to get him, and many still don't. I spent far too much of the 2006-17 period watching his matches, analysing his draws and being dragged emotionally through the ringer. It was great fun and something a British tennis fan is unlikely to experience again.He also had two Olympic golds, didn’t he?

It's a funny one as on paper his record is modest compared to other great British sports stars but he was just dammed unlucky when he played. Hard to remember he was perceived as a petulant little **** when he first came out, given how calm and understated he became.I guess in any other era, would he have been as driven to be that good, it simply wouldn't have been necessary.

The last 7 years has shown what tennis really meant to him. His tweet last night "never really liked tennis anyway" obviously couldn't be further from the truth. No one puts themselves through that much to try and still be competitive unless they proper love the sport.
It's hard to think of a greater British sportsman, certainly not in the last 50 years.
Possibly more so. De Minaur easily the hardest worker though. The Kokk has also been injury-plagued. Clearly having lots of *** causes havoc with your muscles.Popyrin’s win in Canada is definitely a surprise but I think that he and Kokkinakis are both as talented as de Minaur
Yeah right.
I couldn't believe it when I read that. She's an absolute ****ing idiot (the truth is, she's actually not, but boy does she say and do some stupid things). Last week she basically crapped on Murray's career and now she's coming out with this rubbish. She could do with spending some time with Murray, the one thing he did was get the absolute maximum out of his potential in the face of unprecedented competition. Raducanu is literally doing the complete opposite. Seems to spend more time on modelling shoots or in F1 garages than on a tennis court. Patience is wearing thin with this young lady.Speaking of weak excuses, claiming that you need more matches after not bothering to enter tournaments rings pretty hollow
