I always thought Federer is quite the gentleman, but then I haven't seen all his interviews.

I got my head bitten off yesterday, as I told someone that the racket stringer at Wimbledon said the Williams' sister were not very nice. He said he's asked them to sign a T-shirt for charity, but they'd refused saying they were too busy. I think he said they were the only ones he'd asked to sign who'd refused.

I was only relating a frigging story and the girl said it was because they were said to be not nice because they were women. I'm surprised she didn't say it was cos they were black.

If Federer, Murray, Nadal (and any other male tennis player, most of whom's names I can't spell, which is why I haven't written them down) had refused to sign a T-shirt for charity, I wouldn't think he was nice either.

Well he IS awful! Lol. I can't bear him. He's just like a McEnroe mini-me. That voice - it's just so booooring. He has the personality of a lamp-post. I'm sorry but I can't muster up any feelings of love for him whatsoever. Bring back Henman! Haha.

He may have the personality of a plank but he's made it to the final. The first British chap to do so in a very long time plus he happens to be Scottish so M'on the Murray!!! Federer always seems a bit too shiny plastic for me, Nadal on the other hand....

Hey - if he wins - fair play to him. He might even crack a smile instead of that grimace. It certainly would be a fitting year for Great Britain if he did. Win that is, not smile. Haha. (That too!)

I'm always behind Murray regardless of personality, just as I am with with every other English/British sportsman/woman or team. I actually like Murray's attitude...to hell with the public, focus on your own desires, that's what he does and its taken him far. England cricketers have noticeably become more regimental, less charismatic but a great deal more successful and that makes me happy.

Sport needs personalities to grab attention but it doesnt have to be every sportsperson, just a few to give a spark to the game which brings in the revenue.

My cricket match is cancelled today thanks to the overnight flooding so I am able to watch the final. Murray a set up...GREAT START!

GO MURRAY !!!
