His achievement is a big deal for some, British tennis fans have waited a very long time for this. Even those who may not love him as a person seem to be happy. The thing is us non-tennis fans are going to get totally fed up as the tabloids will blow a never ending supply of smoke up his ass, BBC Sports Personality Of The Year is a forgone conclusion and now big Dave wants the guy knighted.
We have a very real possibility of a British champion in one of the MotoGP classes this year, if so he will be the first Brit to do so since Barry Sheene three & a half decades ago. If he does win that championship his achievement will be more than equal to Murray's Wimbledon win in the eyes of fans of that sport. I wonder how much media coverage that news will get...?

It's just the classic joke, he was Scottish when he lost, and British while he was still in it, although some do take it too seriously.
Talking of the nationality of British tennis players, what was the deal with this guy?
Then there's Laura Robson, born in Australia to Australian parents, she moved to Singapore when she was 18 months old and then to the UK when she was 6.
Can see why some may perceive the likes of the above are not 'real' Brits.

Morning all.
Lovely day here but I've managed to catch the sun over the weekend so going to stay out of it today, probably move around the garden as the shade moves over the course of the day while working.

Didn't see the tennis, but saw the news afterwards. Murray looked on the happy side.
Why the issue over nationality? He's Scottish and British so a double celebration for everyone in Scotland, then.
Besides, if Scotland ever got independence they'd have enough trouble actually funding any sports people anyway, let alone champions.
Anyway, sunny day again and looks like it'll be nice all week. I happen to be stuck in an office all week, though I'm in school tomorrow with my governor hat on, so it might afford me some sunshine. I just have to ensure I get to a class that's doing PE when I go in! Also the school Sports Day on Friday, which might turn out nice.

Even though I don't follow tennis I was pleased that Murray won, if for no other reason than any future British players should not have this 'it's been nearly 80 years since a Brit won' rubbish hanging over them.
Irony doesn't become you
Murray's just earned his British nationality. He'll never be referred to as a Scot ever again!
