Murray is mint

I've got to take a quick time out from my (so far) football themed posts to congratulate Andy Murray on a fantastic comeback to reach the quarter finals of Wilmbledon. Where he'll now get mullered by Rafa Nadal, but you can't have everything.

It's often that we watch British players and teams imploding when the going gets tough - or perhaps ranting, raving and blaming anyone other than themselves. At 21, Andy murray displayed maturity and self discipline to keep plugging away from 2 sets down, convinced he could still salvage something. Some of his tennis was extraordinary, one or two of his reaches were just short of miraculous.

Congratulations to the cnetre court crowd for pulling their idol through the ordeal, which will only now serve to increase the weight of expectation on his shoulders. Still, if he carries on like that, and as he is still a young man, Federer can't have too many years of domination left...although now I've said that Murray'll retire in a year to become a bodybuilder.
