Bless her little cotton socks........ the wonderful year for British sport continues, with Heather Watson becoming the first British woman to win a WTA tour event since Sara Gomer won at Aptos in 1988...........

[Who's Sara Gomer?? Where's Aptos??]

The Dean

It would have been a double celebration for Britain but Andy Murray managed to lose the final of the Shanghai Masters (to Novak Djokovic) despite having a total of five match points..........

"Bless her little cotton socks" ?

Could you sound any more patronising? Perhaps only by calling her a good girl...

The Dean

Oh come on - it was obviously a joke (albeit probably a weak one) - my comment about the great year should have given you my real feelings........... and considering Sam Stosur was in that tournament, it's a superb result.

[Well? Do YOU know where Aptos is??? And have you ever heard of Sara Gomer???]

Meow

I haven't heard of most of these people, nor of Aptos.

Bored Feminazi is my assigned role here, is it not?

Great from Watson - really cool - but.... her opponent was ranked about 130 in the world - not to take away the first WTP title etc 'cos that's great - but you know...

Murray / Nole was a great match - shame he lost I guess, but great sport.

The Dean

But that opponent had knocked out Sam Stosur.........

Autonomy

true, but that doesn't really mean that much... winning the title is great, really, and will propel her to greater heights. It's a really good achievement - let's get her winning against the top 10 next though....

Bob

Good going...would be nice if it had been in a tournament anyone has heard of or cares about....but at least we all know where Osaka is
