Well I am one proud, sobbing Brit! Well done Andy!
I hope there's not a rule that there's no crying in tennis. If there is, I broke it today with tears of joy!
Not what I had expected . . . and certainly not what I had hoped for. There was definitely something off about Djokovic, right from the very start. The ferocity we usually see was just not there.
Kudos to Andy for ending the 77 year drought of "British" winners on the lawn.
I sat on the edge of my seat, I cried, I prayed and I cheered! Thank you Andy for giving England the win they have been waiting for!!!Quote:

His girlfriend is now getting a lot of internet recognition--her hair has its own facebook page. What I noticed is that when they discussed her art on E! News they showed some lovely drawings/paintings of terriers, which immediately made me like her better (not that I disliked her before--I just didn't have any opinion of her other than that she was pretty, because I didn't know a thing about her).

8. Jo-Wilfred Tsonga
9. Richard Gasquet
10. Stan Wawrinka
lol!!! I am so glad I am not the only one who feels like this. There have been some matches that I actually left the house!Quote:
