Well played Murray. Crazy to beat the best player ever in straight sets.

Well, he is. Totally dominant over the previous "two greatest" of all time in Federer and Nadal. Has the hardest competition as well, compared to Federer who was playing no-marks for a large part of his career.

I agree with the Federer part, but totally dominant over Nadal? Nadals only a year older and has been winning since he was a kid, up against a Federer in his prime. Djoc/Nadal record is actually very even, though less so recently. Plus his knees now seem completely ****ed. I prefer Djoco as a player and a person, but generally I think if Nadal was injury free he would already be not far off Fed's record.

I don't even watch tennis much tbh.

But that is mental if there are three players currently playing who are all considered to be goats.

Seriously considering heading out to Dunblane. Don't give a fuck about tennis but just to soak up the atmosphere and the beverage.

I don't think Djokovic is the best player ever. I think Federer and Nadal are both better, especially a few years ago. Djojkovic is the best in the world though, and theres only Murray really challenging him for that, when you start to talk about consistency.

Has Murray really given all his Wimbledon winnings to a cancer charity? There is a rumour that he has. He did give his £70k winnings from last month's Queens club win to a cancer charity but I can't see this happening.

Anyhow that last service game was real edge of the seat stuff and was a great few hours of TV this afternoon.
