Did you know Nadal banged his head just before he started the match? He was jumping up and down in a doorway when he hit his head. :-S |

I like Andy Murray and always feel his personality (or lack of it) is mis-represented. |

Rafael Nadal does have some quirky moments x he did bang his head but that didn't stop a brilliant game of tennis .the crowd got their moneys worth .I just feel if they are in the limelight as Andy Murray is surely being watched and judged is part & parcel of the game .honestly he just to me doesn't seem to want to be bothered with interviews but at the end of the day its who they are & maybe if his mother wasn't always there he could relax a bit .his wife looks a lovely lady come on Andy just crack a smile now & again :-) :-D just like that x |

Andy Murray has 'that sort of face', the sort that makes strangers in the street say "cheer up it may never happen" ( someone did that to me...and that was way back in my 'cheerful period' lol ) :-D |

Good luck to them but why oh why do the BBC think the majority of licence paying public with only a passing interest in Wimbledon want 13-14 hours of wall to wall coverage on BBC1 and BBC2 every day for two whole weeks? |

As a sports watcher - not watching Wimbledon I'm watching ladies cricket world cup, I'd like to point out that Wimbledon is on at the most 15 days of the year. Now just tot up how many hours it's actually on against the soaps. Monday - Friday 52 weeks of the year. |

I enjoy tennis and I don't watch soaps but I have some sympathy with those complaining. Soaps may be on every day but only for half an hour or an hour each time. Wimbledon is on two major channels for virtually the whole day. |

Yes, you can watch something else but the point is that the BBC is totally funded by us licence payers who seem to have little say in what we want to thrust down our throats. |
