Agree with your sentiments on the match up Clay. Oh well it started I think because I could see he had a bit of an edge. Tim Henman was a fine ambassador for British tennis but here came Andy with all his emotion and it was easy to connect to. I also quickly thought he was misunderstood and the media latched on to certain throwaway remarks of his. He is essentially a quiet, but very driven guy with a wry sense of humour. I have met him briefly and he was lovely and patient with me. A fine guy and great tennis player.
andy and rafa get along well. they have immense respect for each other.
I think rafa was the first player to call andy to congratulate him after that gold medal win.
by most accounts andy is the most down to earth chap on the atp circuit.
I know I am a huge fan of andy murray.
