No scotch either. Another saffer

Purely as a tennis fan, what do you think of Cameron Norrie? Genuinely interested as you clearly know your stuff.

I haven’t had the chance to see him play yet . He must have some talent thought to beat Bautista

So why not watch the guy? He's been involved in two amazing matches shown on prime time TV. Then you might be quicker to celebrate the guy's achievements rather than offering a lazy and snide one line comment.

Kyle Edmund - Britain's number one male tennis player.

Don't worry, Del, I'm sure Noel is not far behind. :wink:

I'm amazed anyone with a brain can expect Murray to move up the rankings or not slip down them at the moment :!:

I'm amazed anyone would think Kyle would never make a top 50 player and that an aged daytime tv preseter had a better chance. But there you go...

BTW, Kyle has risen more places than Andy has fallen. The achievement of making British number one is real and should be recognised.

Andy has not competed and Kyle would still be no 2 if he had :!:

How hard is to write - well done Kyle?

We all know how great Andy has been - today is Kyle's day.

As I thought - Del just trolling, his tennis knowledge has my eyes rolling.

Indian Wells - unofficial 5th major starts this week. No Nadal. No Murray. No Wawrinka. Djokovic question mark. People like Sock, Pouille and Anderson in top 10 seeds. Bit of a threadbare field. Either a chance for someone new to make a breakthrough or another stroll in the park for Rog.

Luckily the women's draw is much tighter and some great matches to look forward to in the coming fortnight.

Please I beg you, don't let Murray retire and be a 'commentator' with Henman and Sue Barker. The fucking disconnect with British Tennis and the proletariat is like a bleeding period between the legs of an LTA whore fucked by Max Mosley. Wimbledon is a fucking shell company for a German porn studio.

That monotone voice would kill any commentary he would make. The interviews are bad enough. Great player , Andy is,
hopefully he will remain on some Senior tour where the pace is slower.

He'll take up doubles with his brother. Doubles is a fucking circus act, how the fuck Jamie can look into the mirror at night after taking money for playing doubles is beyond me. Fucking pathetic.

He trains bloody hard, has won a ton of grand slam titles, as well as being a pivotal player in our Davis Cup success. All excelling in a sport that he loves. He also seems like a genuinely nice bloke, which I appreciate gets you nowhere in the eyes of the misanthropes on this forum.

But I suppose being an unemployed alcoholic is a better option, eh?
