battle of the big-hitters

History beckons for Andy

Published: 03/07/2009

IT IS SHAPING up to be something like a wild west shootout; the fastest gun against the best return shot. Yes, it is Murray versus Roddick in the men’s semi-final at Wimbledon. Roddick has reputedly the fastest serve and Murray the best return of serve. It should be some contest.

While Scotland is rooting for Murray, some of our friends in the south have been somewhat ambivalent at times. With British pride at stake, let us hope everyone rallies to the flag, whichever one they prefer, union or saltire.

Murray is two steps away from greatness.
