Is Murray Mint?

What about the weather in Cardiff and of course at Wimbledon. 

I am a big fan having first visited Wimbledon in the hot Summer of 1976 as an impressionable 15 year old.  I remember three things in particular about those championships:

  1. I had never seen so many beautiful women wearing so little in one place...
  2. The atmosphere around the courts was terriffic and you were really close to the action.
  3. How loud Pam Shriver's mother was who sat next to me on an outside court and screeched at Pammy who was at her first Wimbledon!

But I digress.  Will Andy Murray achieve what no British man has achieved since Fred Perry won his third championship in 1936 - I hope so and how fitting that Andy wears a Fred Perry shirt!

Of course, if he can overcome Andy Roddick tomorrow - no mean feat against Roddick's awesome serve - he will probably meet Roger Federer in the Final on Sunday.  Now can a Brit (Scot) be so mean as to stop Federer passsing Pete Sampras' equalled record of Grand Slam Titles ...surely that's a win/win for Tennis fans. 

Do you think Andy can do it?  You need to commit now not with hindsight that's easy.  I think Andy will make the Final - a great achievement in only his fourth Wimbledon but lose in four sets to Roger - but I reserve the right to twaek my view after the Semi-finals tomorrow!!
