2021 Tennis

Yep

Just watched Andy Murray: Resurfacing on Prime. Anyone seen it? I absolutely loved it, and had tears in my eyes a few times. It dawned on me that no individual sportsman has ever reduced me to tears as much as Murray - albeit, obviously, nowhere near the amount of times he's done the same to Buzzo.

I’d say equal amounts. I can always remember you posting about how much you love Andy on here. And recall posting through the night when he won the US - that’ll be on here somewhere!

It’s really good isn’t it

I was just re-reading the quote to remind myself his answer to ‘why does tennis mean so much to you’. And when you know the answer and then watch the roar after the likes of that shot vs Gasquet it makes a lot of sense. He has an inner rage.

When he explains about his brother moving away it breaks your heart a little bit knowing he’s been through Dunblane and then his parents splitting.

I think we’ve all suffered watching Andy over the years, but that’s why the celebrations mean so much more when he achieved something and won titles and slams, and olympics and Davis cups.

When you really like someone in sport and watch them fail and the. Succeed it’s an amazing feeling. A bit like a certain team we all follow.

never really got it with henman too much of the toff about him

Bloody good egg. Plucky too.

Wimbledon is weird. Some epic moments with Murray, but too often it seems like half the crowd are either on the London summer circuit (with Lords and Chelsea Flower Show to follow) or thrilled to have got a ticket in the ballot to tell their friends.

****s sake. Didn't notice Buzzo's emotionally literate post above. Now I look like a cold *******

[Buzzo]

I’ve never been to be honest. Not to the tennis anyway. I’ve been to Wimbledon and it is incredibly posh. I’ve not played this year but a lot of the people who play tennis that I’ve met are absolute weapons.

My moments with Wimbledon tennis tend to be alone in front of the TV

And I’d say it would be reasonably safe to say I’d not fit in massively well with the Hoi Polloi.

The Aussie Government must be getting close to the point of telling the Tennis players to 'do one' and cancelling the Australian Open.

2 more positive tests confirmed amongst those flown in for the tournament.

Djokovic covering himself in glory again blokes a moron.

Murray out of the Australian open.

I managed to organise this for my aunt who is 83 and was diagnosed with Termjnal cancer last April.

She played tennis at club level to that point and used to have to keep quiet about her age as she thought they would go easy on her when they knew she was 80! She is and has always been an inspiration in my lifetime, so it was great to do something that made her so happy.

She walks three - four miles a day and we see her pass my house and have put messages up for her in the window. I am confident she he is going to live long past her initial diagnosis.

By all accounts she was in tears of joy upon seeing this

All organised by the Hibs Community team my son plays for, which as a Hearts supporter leaves me feeling quite compromised. (I’d hoped they’d supply video so I had to quickly put something together when supplied with an audio file).

That's magic mate

I'm trying to attract as much positive karma as I possibly can!
