He gave his all in what could be his last match. Some lovey tributes from fellow players. He's done us proud over the years

He is contemplating a second hip op which I think he hopes that he can play on.

Ah, don't worry about me Balders :)

//Let's not get into a scrap please Balders and RR.//
Only one itching for a scrap here Jim360 and that is one who least can afford to with her antecedents. I suppose after yesterday a hat trick is in the offing. :-(

yeah I thought all the tributes are really thweet
an den I wondered what an AB tribute was - and how small minded and vengeful posters can be
and heeeeeeeeere IS one!

I don't deny his skill,stamina,guts and success playing Tennis but I must be only one ABer who can't abide the bloke.

AB in full swing - never disappoints

Rr. Best leave the thread :’)

[Peter Pedant]

O dear - missed that -
I hadnt realised others had risen to the red rag.

have I missed anything good?

Back to the OP... yes, Andy has contributed so much to the world of tennis over the years. Earlier today I re-watched his Wimbledon Championship wins - it was heartening to see the reception he received. I don't think I'd ever seen David Cameron look so animated, thrilled etc!

[Rockrose]

Yeah annea you’re right with laurel and hardy on my case

[anneasquith]

Yep :’)

Is this still a Tennis thread?

I like Andy Murray and he has done really well in his career.

He Is not anti-English, well no more than I am. :-)

// He is contemplating a second hip op which I think he hopes that he can play on.//

not knowing a damned thing about this - and wanting to change the direction of the thread - the proposed operation is to increase the cupping of the pelvis. as all the footballer injuries - guaranteed not to work

but ho hum I am just a silly old olda age pensioner

[Peter Pedant]

// Yeah annea you’re right with laurel and hardy on my case//

in the context of this thread - is Laurel and hardy one person ?
One has to think outside the box / off the wall - after all this IS AB !
and remember folks nothing need make sense !

[Neveracrossword]

Wolf63, this will, I hope, remain a tennis thread - the point-scoring has gone a bit haywire, but...
