Roddick was immense, a colossus out there. He reached terrific heights; serve-volleying, impudent low back-hand reflexes, charging the net like Stephan Edberg ... the best man won by a street. Good luck to the American on Sunday. He will of course need it.
Murray lives to fight another day. Provided he can avoid the cerebral scarring that comes with falling at the penultimate hurdle that so afflicted Henman he'll claim his prize in time. For my part I've enjoyed it; I bought the ticket - and bought into Murray - and took the ride. And what a wild ride it was whilst it lasted.
I suppose we'll have to start referring to
Scotland's Andy Murray now
