Not really a fan of Tennis but I always support Andy Murray, precisely because he's Scottish, and always wanted Henman to win.
Clearly lots of English have taken against Murray for his _possibly_ wanting Scottish independence. However I want Federer to win every match as he's been the most stylish and graceful player I can remember. BMW PS I reserve my anyone-but-the-english primarily for the soccer and in particular the rugby. ________________________________ From: Leedslist <leedslist-boun...@gn.apc.org> on behalf of Rob Heath <rhe...@hkis.edu.hk> Sent: Monday, June 5, 2017 4:11:16 PM To: Graham Thirkill Cc: Leeds List Subject: Re: [LU] Fwd: None LU: Andy Murray World Number one (;-)) I did indeed love good old "Come on" Tim.
