[Sqad]

Yepp...I agree...hard work, discipline, devotion and the urge to succeed.

[ojread2]

About as proud as they were last year

[anneasquith]

see you at the '' other end '' :)

[ladybirder]

I expect Novak Djokovic's parents are quite proud as well ...

And don't the BBC cameras keep reminding us!

DJokovic to win 3-2

Have you faith in him?

When the world cup was being played & Scotland got knocked out (football) in an interview he was asked "now Scotland are out who will you be supporting?" Murry said" any other team but England"
I've never forgotten that, therefore I can't find myself supporting him.

jem.

[tonyav]

Yes, I remember that, Jem.

[Eve]

It's not his fault he was born Scottish though and he has the free will to support who he likes, as we do to support who we like.

Whatever the outcome it has taken a huge amount of hard work and dedication to get where he is and there should pride whatever the result. I always feel for British players as it is a bit of a winning is the only result culture, it tends to be forgotten the achievement which has been made regardless.

Jemisa - English ex-tennis player Tim Henman confirmed that the remarks had been made in jest and were only in response to Murray being teased by journalist Des Kelly and Henman - so stop bearing an unnecessary grudge.

...and here's Henman himself explaining it

indeed

matching each other all the way

Jem, as has been mentioned many, many, many times before......he was joking! Just because he says it with a serious face doesn't mean he can't have a wee joke with you all.

Good luck to him today :)

ANDY ANDY ANDY ANDY ANDY !!!!

[albaqwerty]

ooh, a bit of contention, ball out and players carried on.

[jim360]

First set to Murray. He's won the first set against Djoker at least the last five times they've played, so that doesn't change things much. But at least it sets things up for a close match.

[bibblebub]

End of 1st set and a montage of slow-motion video clips accompanied by dramatic music??? how rubbish is that?

[jim360]

It'll be worth putting up with if Murray wins... but an early break for Djokovic in the second set.

[anneasquith]

geez oh jem, it was a joke,,,, must be hot hes got his bunnet on now !!!!!!!!!
