Andy Murray forgot his mum

Sorry, all you tennis lovers, can`t stand it!

Don't look at this then, numberplease www.youtube.com/watch?v=5-KfEzIku8M&sns=tw

I did wonder why he did not got to his mum after his girlfriend. I am not a big tennis fan but I thought she was the one who previously coached and encouraged him over the years?

He can hug his mum any time and probably does. He doesn't have to hug her in front of the cameras. Plus he probably hardly knew what he was doing. Give the guy a break.

Yes quite butty only the most insecure of mothers would be taking the hump at that point and I'm sure she is not that.

Can somebody tell me who were the two men in jackets that the camera kept going to?They looked familiar, so assume they were actors. They got much more attention than David Cameron! I am not a film goer, nor do I read the celeb. magazines, so don't know the current faces.

Bradley Cooper and Gerard Butler. Apparently they are "famous" Hollywood film stars. I had to ask the same question on Digital Spy, as I didn't know who they were either.

Re Andy Murray's mum, I wondered why he didn't hug his girlfriend?

Why?

Bit of padding needed, possibly.

Why do people wonder about who athletes hug? What the hell does it matter?

We're not here to sit in judgment on their private personal lives.

And anyway, he was probably pretty soggy with sweat. Perhaps he didn't want to inflict that on them. Nuff said

I am with you there numberplease. It is great that Andy Murray has won at last, but did we really need two whole weeks of almost wall to wall tennis? Well done Andy - don't care what nationality you are, you obviously gave a lot of people a lot of pleasure and deserved the success.

Thanks peaches, I am none the wiser, never heard of them! Good looking though.

Leave the poor lad alone. I saw him hug his mum anyway or was that another grey-haired lady?

Judy was at the back , away from Kim/Lendl/Ross and the other group, so probably why he missed her in the excited rush to get over there.
Nice pics of last night's Ball and Andy hugging both Parents together

Who was the other grey haired lady he hugged? Was his granny there?

he looks better in his shorts

He'd look great in the kilt.

Oh yes! (why didn't he???!)

That would have been so good!

His mum just telephoned The Wright Stuff and was very annoyed that anybody should criticise him!

I sympathise with Andy. I forgot to kiss my Mum after my wedding. As we sped off into the sunset on our honeymoon I remember banging on the back window shouting, 'I didn't kiss my Mum!' At least he had the chance to go back and remedy the situation.

I'm guessing he doesn't need to hug his mum in public for her to know he appreciates all she's done for him. And I'm sure he was feeling a bit bewildered by it all at that particular moment anyway. Mums generally forgive their kids for most things, I'm sure this will be no exception.

I love the unbridled lust that permeates this thread..! Whooo!

I was so worried that I'd forget to kiss my Dad (he was terminally ill) as we were leaving to go on honeymoon, I walked around calling, 'Where's Dad, Where's Dad?' I must have sounded like I was looking for a lost puppy.

I was just about to get in the car when I spotted Mum out of the corner of my eye. She's not someone you forget and live to tell the tale

All over then? not likely, we are to be inundated with tales of his youth ,the money he has earned, the money he is about to earn, how competitive he has always been, how sensitive he is and all the other drivel the media seems to think we need spoon feeding. the most illuminating bit of tittle tattle I heard was a relative, that was winkled out of the woodwork, to tell all in sundry that, as a boy, a little boy, when playing board games, at christmas, for example, he would storm off, if losing,tipping the board over.
And that demonstrates his competitiveness, and sportsmanship from an early age.gone are the days of the "gentlemen", the ones that played the game,had humanity, thought of the person opposite and their feelings,realised it was a game and good manners were paramount. this is I know, a pipe dream in this money motivated society, where the prizes are obscene.
