Och no....he's a dour red misted Scotsman but very talented(cue Commander with his post re Scots Inventors and Entrepreneurs) given he wasn't seized as a sperm and smuggled into the Lick Ballseteri Paparazzi School of Tennis in Florida.Instead he was coached by his mom in Central Scotland and spent hours practising while Dunblane got trigger happy....enough to drive a kid of that time to Wham's Dram but the lanky lad dug in and trained hard.
Best sporting natural talent to come out of UK-no a bold statement- Britain since...??probably David Beckham.
He will need to be on form to beat Rafa though.

Sorry to see Roger exit tonite.

No doubt he is a talent but look like you are enjoying the ride.

Did he not go to a spanish tennis academy?

I haven't seen much play this tourney, but think he's coming into his time..
Yeh I think he did a few years at a Club Suede Academy and even some time Stateside but he was never the Robinson's Kid...dull and ginger...doesn't sell
talent- latently recognised -might.After the trophies.

Murray beat Nadal in the Australian Open this year...so there's some hope. Though, I suspect many will think he will crash out.

Every time Murray has a good clean win, he struggles the next match.
Rafa's knee is bothering him though...
Never hurry a Murray.
