    Even Djokovic said Andy deserved it after his hard work and improvement this year.

    Hopefully Murray can win the tournament today (you'd think a day off will have done him some good), do well in the Tour Finals and end the year as number 1.

    Murray took 1st set. No breaks in 2nd (probably shouldn't say that with Murray serving).

    Yes, he split with the French woman whose name escapes me after the Australian Open I think, and got back with Lendl in time for Wimbledon.

    Jeez, I must start drawing in my antenna occasionally. I'm picking up stuff I don't want cramming in my head. I'm supposed to be learning Italian, not remembering who Murray's former coach is. ;)

    I must have already shed that little piece of unwanted trivia, and now it's back in there again!

    I thought he'd cut his femoral artery and needed a ligature.

    What kills me is that there is a clothes designer out there who has taken one classic bit of style in the trousers, added black hoops to it and thought that was innovative, original and an improvement. Instead of which, anyone with a modicum of vision, talent and true design innovation, would realise that was a no-no. Have another idea quickly. It looks exactly what it is. Classic grey trousers with black electrical tape stuck around one leg. Bruce Forsyth would have given it 0/5 for the idea. 1/5 for doing it neatly.

    I'm all for people trying to do things differently, and individual expression. That is just **** though.
