Very gutting that we're likely going to be denied the kind of send off that he deserves. But then again, it seems fitting in a kind of way, considering how much of a struggle his career's been. Easily the most inspiring sportsperson for me personally. Talent-wise there was really no argument for him being the best tennis player in the world, but he broke so much hoodoo around British sport, and even became number 1 by sheer force of persistence and will. The kind of determination and focus that it must have taken him day after day, for years, is monstrous. It's barely conceivable. To make the impact he's made in an era where he was pitted against 3 of the generational talents of tennis history, and even to arguably elbow his way into their realm, is an achievement that I think people will dwell upon more and more in hindsight. Not to mention that he's been dogged the entire way by a national "fanbase" the majority of which treated him with resentment and suspicion, apart from when they leapt into the bandwagon in his moments of triumph. The whole way he's been a model off the field in taking abuse on the chin, conducting himself graciously and with humour, and in using his position to speak up for those given less attention.

You will have to give us some stories in a month about what both rehab and prison is like in China. On a serious note though,that is backwards as fuck. Imagine being locked in jail simply because your blood/piss/saliva contained thc?

Drink in a hotel bar. Problem solved

There's an opportunity for an immature joke here somewhere, but I'm too mature for that.

Also, if anyone wonders where myself, @IgnisExcubitor @Azeem @Mel81x @Asura were last week, this may give some ideas. I think it was @Devil-Dick Willie who filmed us. The bit at the end with the replay cracked me up

Gutted about that to be honest. I'm sure I'll add more later but if not for Murray I'd have no interest in tennis. Possibly the most underappreciated sportsman we've had in this generation, especially the way he's always upped his game when represented Great Britain, winning the Olympic Gold twice, and carrying the team to the first Davis Cup win in yonks.

Ask and you shall receive... They're not exactly erupting with joy haha... Different culture.

Murray to retire after Wimbledon, if he even makes that tournament...
