So, he's finally made the final. It's been a long time coming as he prepares to face a home crowd. Then there's the small matter of having to deal with Rodger Federer. I think Federer will pull out all the stops to win but I guess you can never be sure with these things. I'm not really a Murray fan and was wanting Tsonga to triumph. At least the Frenchman managed to smile occasionally and he didn't have to keep making clenched fist gestures in the direction of his.....er.... mother?

Without Djokovic and Nadal in the final, this is Murray's best chance to win a slam. He has good record against Federal. But dispatching Djokovic in 4 sets, Federal is in great form. So my bet is on him.

Henman? Oh yes, wasn't he the one that only managed to get his act together after wacking a randomly hit tennis ball against a ball girl's head? Funny how such thing's can change a person's outlook...

There is a very strict rule which the media and others follows:

When he wins he's BRITISH

When he loses he's SCOTTISH

Quote: Can only imagine that you'll be one of these people that will call him "British" if he wins and "Scottish" if he loses....

Zzzzzzzzzz ... Murray is proudly Scots, and I doubt very much he sees himself at all as British. Those of us non-scots who support him generally do so on the basis that he is British - that is the connection that earns him support from some. If he wins we (some) will celebrate him as a British victor as that is what connects us. If he loses we won't have the celebration that brings together all the people on the basis of him being British, so he really just remains the proud Scot he is. It ain't a double standard thing really, but it does give a lot of bitter scots something to dig us about when they FINALLY have the chance to actually win something other than curling ....

Start using sugar in your porridge instead of salt ... It's far less bitter ;0)
