I was blown away by Andy's courage , skill and tenacity in his game to-night . I really admire the way he has fought his way back and loves his game so much .

holds his hand to his ear - “tell me how great I am”.

Just seen someone else do this, thought it strange

I’m also not a Djokovic fan.
Did I read some negative comments from him about the covid vaccine?

I think he’s got a few weird ideas generally.

I think he held a party at the start of the pandemic which resulted in people catching the virus. And I believe he’s an anti vacc’er.

Jennifereccles I’m not a fan of Djokovic either .
I saw Boris Becker ( who I’ve always been a fan of) on the One Show. They were asking him about Novak and his reputation. Boris said the bad guy act on court was all put on and away from tennis he said you couldn’t meet a nicer guy. I’m still to be convinced.

All these years ago when Andy Murray first appeared on the scene, it seemed to me that he was quite unpopular. He came in for a lot of criticism.

Perhaps because I am Scottish (and like Andy probably a bit dour at times), I always liked him, but that was a minority view then.

It was only after he started winning big-time that the UK as a whole seemed to warm to him.

I still think he has great talent, great energy, great intelligence and great determination which makes him one of the most watchable tennis players ever.
