SMB Tennis thread


andrew castle is painful to listen to

As soon as the camera pans on to some old lass in the crowd you just know he'll start wittering on about random shite.

'Ah yes there's Susan Campbell, wife of Berkshire Royal County Club's owner Gordon. I'll tell you this for nothing, she was a fine squash player back in the 90's. You wouldn't want to be on the end of one of her backhands. She could put away a few gin and tonics as well in her day let me tell you that much.'

No one gives a fuck man, just be quiet.
 
Was saying this to the missus the other day. Think Murray could be our greatest ever sportsman. In an era of the 3 greatest ever in nadal, federer and Novak, he’s had to put his body through absolute hell to even compete and win slams, it’s astonishing.

Lewis Hamilton should be higher since he's an actual GOAT contender in his own sport.

Murray's a great player and has done Britain proud in a sport Britain has historically been abysmal at and very likely would have a few more majors in another era, but he's not ranked in the top 10 greatest tennis players ever. If he's the greatest then it means Britain doesn't have a GOAT contender in any global sport which I don't think is the case. You could argue Chris Froome is probably higher too, although Cycling a very tainted sport.

Scotland's greatest? Probably, I think Chris Hoy is a bit overrated, given Jason Kenny is going to surpass his haul means cycling is a sport where its fairly easy to rack up a lot of medals. I've always felt Steve Redgrave 5 golds across 5 different Olympics was better than Hoy's 6 across 3 Olympics.

Lewis Hamilton has drove a fast car, not a patch on what Murray has done or achieved to be fair.
