is it not great britain in the davis cup ?? if so then British hope is entirely correct term for the media wank fest lol if its england,scotland , wales like football then yea good point - dont know why we do it - hard to imagine our media tossing off over a scottish gootball side before a world cup as a our "best hope" etc..lol.

Careful missy - you're in for a spanking. Or if I get angry, I might jist pit the heid oan you.

And you do know that whenever Scotland get to the finals of a competition we buy day returns just in case?

Err, right...

I agree with the media circus, but love playing the game, always have, always will.

I think Tim Henman was a better player than Murray -he was a much more subtle and diverse player than Murray, but on the other hand it was his moment to win something like Wimbledon, the era between Sampras and Federer: I suppose one of the great 'What if's' of sporting history would be, what if rain had not delayed the semi-final with Ivanisevic, and would Henman have beaten Pat Rafter -? I don't have anything against the Scots, its the hype that sickens me.

Henman was the last of the great tradition of serve and volley players that had otherwise come to an end with the graceful Swede, Stefan Edberg. On his day Tim had a sublime touch at the net - there was no better volleyer in the game.

Desperately unlucky, and as I said before, only in this bloody country would he be seen as a symbol of perennial failure. Wankers who have no understanding of how the game is played and the ludicrous pressure put on any Brit during the two weeks of Wimbledon.

I still think Murray will win a Grand Slam, but I don't expect it to be at Wimbledon. Grass isn't his best surface. His best chance will be primarily at the US and after that the Australian.
