US Open Tennis

[Fido]

Decided to go to bed. Simply can't stand any more tension. Took radio up just in case.

Couldn't get off to sleep. Thought I'd check. Murray two sets up.

Well it may be the kiss of death, but here I am back down in front of the TV. I'll just have to see it through.

It's tough for us sports freaks.

I'm exactly the same. Found the first 2 sets mesmerising and want to go to sleep but can't take myself away from the tv. Think I'm going to be knackered in the morning.

 

[Fido]

Glad I'm retired!

 

[Fido]

Two sets all. Not enjoying this.

 

[Lose the beard]

Why can't I just go to bed, I feel the result is inevitable.

 

[Fido]

But even if he loses Murray is too good not to win a major - one day.

 

[Lose the beard]

Ah well, not as inevitable as I thought. Well done Andy, well deserved.

 

[Fido]

Watched the finish. Rewound, then dragged Ruth out of bed.

Both drinking whisky.

What a moment. What a year for British sport.

I'll sleep well now.

Wake up Peter!!! Wake up!!

It was all a dream.

 

[Fido]

It wasn't!

First Brit wins Le Tour.
London Olympics. I'm there to see Mo.
First Brit wins Tennis major.
Brit still World No 1 golfer.

I'm ready to go.

You forgot to mention Joe Calzaghe the greatest ever UK boxer and probably one of the all time greats undefeated.

Jamie.

Go on Andy Murray!
