First Brit in Wimbledon final for 74 years. Yay! Some sensational play against Tsonga in semis, but Inhave a seeking feeling Federer will simply up his game and regain World No. 1. Don't warm to Murray (quite like the girlfriend).

I will be rooting for Him regardless, Federer's arms must be getting tired from lifting all those Grand Slam trophies.

Originally posted by divegeesterI used to think that until i heard him on a 5live 'Audience with Andy Murray' show, he came across completely different on that. One thing that struck me was his really odd voice, one minute he was talking in his Scottish accent and then he would flip and talk in a really posh English accent for a sentence and then back to the Scottish. One of the strangest things i've heard. He's grown on me during the last few years, but i'll be rooting for Federer, in my eyes the greatest sportsman of my generation.

will you realise that we speak a different dialect, its called lowland Scots? There is
nothing worse than some spangled angle from Milton Keynes, 'you what jock'. I find
it ultimately ironic that Murry, although being Scottish is good enough to merit being
British but no Scots are good enough to play soccer for team GB. I dont think he will
take a set from Fed, to be honest. Murry will need to play brilliantly and Fed badly for
any chance of a British victory.

from the four constituent parts of the UK, I dont like that there is national division, have
I not stated that i would support such a concept? I despise Scottish nationalism as
much as I do English nationalism. I am glad for the English in the highlands, i have
said that they are most welcome to it here and elsewhere, as long as they respect our
cultural traditions and i have met not a a few of them, in fact, the most pleasant and
welcoming were a couple i met from London who had sold up and bought a little cottage
near Dornock, they were awesome.

So will I. There's just something about the man that's sympathetic.
