| Quote: sally cinnamon "Imagine if Andy Murray wins the rah rah media will all be wanting him to be Sports Personality of the Year, or Jessica Ennis if she wins Olympic gold, when we all know that if media bias was taken out of it the most deserving would be Sam Tomkins for playing the greatest game.'"
Sam Tomkins would only win SPOTY if Wigan cheated it for him.
If the award had any credibility it would go to Britain's finest sportsman, Ben Westwood.

| Nice one. Now go tell everyone how proud you are of the country you happened to be in when you fell out of your mum.
Obviously you had full control of that situation so you have every right to be filled with national pride.
ENGLAND 'TIL I DIE! NO SURRENDER!

| Murray does my head in because he's a miserable dour c---
The England bashing or being Scottish doesn't come in to it if Nadal was Scottish he'd still be my favourite tennis player.
In the past i've liked McEnroe, Connors, Agassi, Lendal, people with something extra that makes them compelling to watch.
Sod patriotism, i want entertainment

| Quote: partridge "Thought the better story from the tennis was the doubles match where the other murray won the final from a wild card place. Didn't bottle it and was fantastic to watch even with the smell of boots Gemini burning down wafting through my open windows.'"
It was Marray not Murray

| I'd rather listen to Wakefield v Wigan on the radio that watch the tennis final. Much as I hate Wigan, I'll be supporting Wakefield all the way.

| Tennis is an individual sport anyway, its not a team sport, other than the Davis Cup. People pick their favourite individual players for different reasons. When I was a kid it was Mats Wilander, with a sneaking liking for Lendl, then it moved on to Ivanisevic. I don't think I've had a proper favourite since Ivanisevic retired.

| Quote: upsetzombie "Murray for me highlights what has changed with the publics attitude to stars.
He is world class, and the best tennis player Britain has had since the thirties. Yet people don't like him because he isn't particularly personable.
p.s Cheryl Cole is more popular, now there is talentless.'"
Its Frank Bruno-syndrome......The gormless British public fall for a bumbling, talentless idiot who, because he can throw in some 'amusing' one liners, gains the love of people (who, ironically, usually know fook all about the sport), while they choose to ignore or dislike a person who is actually good at the sport.

| I love watching Tennis, I cant play it for Shit though, I was watching Serena Williams smash shots around that I wouldnt have been able to see never mind get a racket on. I understand people dont like it but i cant understand why people say its a sport or the top pros arent particularly skilful.
And As for Murray he isnt particularly enigmatic but neither is Nadal from What ive seen of him. I like Federer though he seems to play witha smile on his face which isnt difficult when you win as much as he does...
But I hope Murray wins, because we have a legion of media people and fans that thrive on any sort of British failure I hope he wins and screams you effing beauty just like Mark wright did when Lifting the Fa cup in front of lady DI....
