Do you know nothing? Seeded second. I'm mocking you. Roddick has a good serve, and that's about it. He has a tendency to choke, too.

He says he's Scottish, so that'll do for me.
No doubt if he'd went out in the 1st round he'd be Scottish, but now that he's winning he's seen as British.
The Davis cup team is GB. Henman, Rusedski, and Murray are all British. They could also be called English, Canadian and Scottish, but in international Davis cup terms they would all represent the same team and would be considered as home players at Wimbledon.
If Murray was a footballer where the home nations have seperate teams then i would indeed consider him Scottish. It depends on the sport.
What about Northern Irish players though, they play for Ireland I believe like the rugby team. An Ulsterman should be able to choose who he wants to play for, GB or Ireland.
Don't even mention cricket, who qualifies for England? I can't get my head around that one. Whatever, well done Murray. I just wish all sports were organised over here like the British and Irish Lions so we could all get together and support each other.

Roddick is a good player, but his tendency to give up on volleys, and CHOKE, is why I say these things.
