Originally posted by FMF Indeed, since the glorious summer of '77 I have been predicting that Murray would be the first woman to win the Mixed Doubles on her own and in a kilt.
Both, of course. Although TTBOMK no Scot has ever won a Grand Slam before. I think the previous ones were all Sassenach.
who cares, well done andy, first of many?
Quite possibly. People who've done it tend to say that you're never the favourite to win any Grand Slam until you've won one, and after that you must be counted one of the favourites when you enter - the first one, they say, is the hardest. I couldn't hit two balls straight myself, but I trust the opinions of those who've been there.
to be honest i thought he had blown it when it went to 2 sets each, nearly 5 hours i was exhausted just watching it.
Yeah, I thought so too. Djoko is usually a tough cookie.

I wonder if Andy Murray will inspire the same fond memories?
