Bill W Posted September 11, 2012 Posted September 11, 2012 First, Olympic Gold and now his first major. Andy Murray wins US Open Men's Singles Title. Congrats to Andy and all of his British supporters.
Daddydavek Posted September 11, 2012 Posted September 11, 2012 Andy Murray has put the icing on the cake for a truly great summer of sports for the UK!
Andy78 Posted September 11, 2012 Posted September 11, 2012 Not just his first Major, but the first win at a Major for a British male since Fred Perry in 1936. Please note: Since he has won, he is a Brit. If he had lost, he would be referred to as a Scot
PrivateTim Posted September 12, 2012 Posted September 12, 2012 Actually a Scotsman won Wimbledon in 1969 I believe. 1
NotNoNever Posted September 12, 2012 Posted September 12, 2012 That doesn't count. There was no Spike Miligan involved, and it wasn't haggis being batted back and forth. Actually, somebody reminded me today that Mr. Williams would now have somebody to compare notes with - Judy Murray - as they are now the only people to have two children to have each won a grand slam.
PrivateTim Posted September 12, 2012 Posted September 12, 2012 Jamie Murray has never won a Grand Slam singles title as Andy is the first Brit to win a Grand Slam since 1066 and the Bryan twins won Wimbledon doubles it in 2011.
The_Round_One Posted September 12, 2012 Posted September 12, 2012 I was SO pleased that Andy Murray won the U.S. Open. Just before the Olympics, I watched the episode of "Mock the Week" that he attended and was gratified that the comedians didn't rip the piss out of him! (I believe that's how you Brits would say it!) Thank God Frankie Boyle wasn't on there, eh? Oh, and Kudos to Private Tim for posting the Monty Python clip...blancmange!!
Zombie Posted September 12, 2012 Posted September 12, 2012 (edited) Andy is the first Brit to win a Grand Slam since 1066 ... Just checked my sports pics archive and here's a picture of that historic match [sadly the loser lost his head] Edited September 12, 2012 by Zombie 1
FrenchCanadian Posted November 24, 2012 Posted November 24, 2012 Lol all I know is Andy Murray is HOT I dunno, there's players on the ATP that are way better looking than Andy Murray... like mills raonic
NotNoNever Posted November 27, 2012 Posted November 27, 2012 Andre Aggasi would do it for me, or Andy Roddick. Andy Murray ain't good lookin, just awesome. I mean, all that on just two ankle tendons when the rest of us need six just to walk!
