Has anyone seen Andy Murray announcing his retirement? What an embarrassing twot he is. Can't see Djokovic, Federer or Nadal carrying on like that.
He probably only made about £20,000,000 or so.

Nothing to do with the 80 odd arrests in Spain for tennis fixing then... 

[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

Never a fan.

Too busy being a mangina and worrying his little head about equality for women in tennis.

With women getting the same pay as men for playing 3 sets at Wimbledon instead of 5 it seems the girlies are doing just fine.

[Kevin Wood]

I wonder if TheBoy will develop a tribute to him, in order to keep "Tim" company?

No.

[Varche]

Most successful British sportsman?

Had to work at it, not a natural.

Any other country and folk would be patriotic and rooting for their man. Spanish love Nadal and Alonso. Listen to their F1 commentary and you would think Alonso was winning every race.

Sad fact of life is we Brits are very critical of our own countrymen. Strange and fairly unique trait.

Yes, we do seem to vilify our sports stars, Beckham, Froome, Hamilton et al. As for Murray, he seems to have been a lot more approachable over the last few years of his career, whereas he was a total knob in his early days. As for him being the best British sportsman ever, which was being touted on Jeremy Whine on Chan5 this morning, surely that depends on which sports appeal to each individual person. Yes, Murray has done BRITISH sport proud but so have any number of our champions through the sporting spectrum.

I'm not debating whether he's a great sportsman or not. No doubt there are those in the sporting world that think the sun shines out of his arse. I'm saying he is a total embarrassment for carrying on the way he did at that interview.

[ronnyd]

Seems to be the norm. now for sports stars to have a good blub in front of the cameras. Bunch of bloody snowflakes.

Nah, as much as I don't think I'd like him if ever we met, he is a sportsman, and was eager to win.

Henman on the other hand was universally useless.  No true desire to win, probably thought if he whined enough, he'd win by default.  A pointless pain in the arse. Hence "Tim".

[Olympia5776]

Well I just watched it and ..............it was utterly cringeworthy , the man would  bring tears to a glass eye .

I'm a Scot too but found he was the dourist sportsman I ever encountered , he never looked as if he was enjoying it .
No loss .
Next .........

Fixed. 

[Andy B]

I thought he was British when he lost but Jockanese when he won 

[Varche]

I could not believe my ears when they referred to him as English on the news.
