Mens Final

[Goofy]

Got the sofa ready to hide behind.
Flag is flying - the Saltire - as it worked in 2013.
Butterflies bounding all over the place.

[Tilly2]

Thanks, Minty.

[ummmm]

I got quite emotional. Well done Andy...great match.

[murraymints]

can go for a wee now and make dinner !!! exhausted !!

[Eve]

I waited until it was done to stick my dinner in the oven, didn't want to risk missing anything when it was done (or burning it!).

[Togo]

Well done Andy Murray, a peerless performance.

[Goofy]

Never needed the sofa - and the nails I grew to chew are still attached to my fingers!

[-SharonA-]

Hey goofy, thanks for best answer and Eve same time, same place next year!

[Eve]

I'll be here! See you for a feast of tennis again next year :)

[Goofy]

Other half on kp today
See you all next year, but Davis Cup on Friday. Heaven help us!

[-SharonA-]

OOh yeah forgot about the Davis Cup. Andy is supposed to be playing.

[jim360]

If Andy chose not to play Davis Cup then it wouldn't be necessarily fatal, as Serbia aren't likely to send their strongest players either -- and anyway we'd be assured of a place in the World Group next year already.

But enough of that. Congratulations Andy on a fine win. Much less nerve-wracking than previous ones, perhaps because Raonic couldn't quite find his best tennis but also because Murray was just that awesome. Wonderful to see him back as a Slam champion again!

[Garaman]

Yes, well done Andy. Quite easy to watch for a change too.

In answer to retrocop, I think that you have to start the petition before the result is known and you think your man will lose.
