Well done to Murray.

I think the difference between him and Henman long term will be the fact he dumped his long term coach alot earlier so with the help of Tim Gilbert he should really develope into a consistent top 5 player.

Don't like the guy...would rather watch paint dry than listen to his unintelligible mumblings.

He is a bit of a airhead, but he seems to be developing in to a great player

Henman's too nice, Rusedski's too Canadian, Murray's too miserable - I thought we wanted a good British tennis player, not an off-court personality?!

Murray doesn't consider himself British.

I'd like to see a good Englishman doing a job on court but then I switch off tennis more than I watch it.

So?! Neither do I, yet I'll still support someone flying the British flag as many sports don't segregate into England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland.

Murray seems to be turning into a quality player, and to be only the second player to beat Federer this year, and in straight sets no less, is not to be sniffed at.

Yeah, same here. I support the British lions, the athletics teams etc but this guy isn't representing Great Britain, he's representing himself & himself as a Scotsman. He's categorically slated some parts of Great Britain.

Even the ATP has him down as "Scottish teenager"
http://www.atptennis.com/en/

I still don't like his attitude & couldn't give a monkeys if he won or lost. The sad thing is, all those St.Georges cross Wimbledon bunch will swap them for Union Jacks without realising his dislike for England & all things English.

Not if they were professional sportsmen representing Britain!

I support all home nations in everything bar the 6 nations for obvious reasons, but as a supposed role model to British kids in Great Britain, this guy is a disgrace.
