Emotions run deep

So another bit of good news to start off this post as Great Britain have managed to win their tie against Luxembourg in the Davis Cup rubber round matches.  Andy Murray himself in his match against Gilles Muller sealed GB's win as he won the match in straight sets 6-4, 6-3, 6-1.  After the match in Andy's post match interview he fought back the tears as he was overcome with emotion at being back in Scotland and playing in front of a home crowd, as it was the first time he was there in nearly 18 months.

It must be quite tough for tennis players who take so much time away from home, for the last five weeks Andy has managed to be at home in London when played Queens and Wimbledon.  But certainly for him to go back to Glasgow was a very special homecoming, and brought back the memories an all that.  It was also great that after suffering the defeat at Wimbledon at Rafa's hands Andy decided to play for Great Britain, it was a commitment he had already moment and it was great to see he adhered to it.  And to seal a win for Great Britain in the process was terrific and it was a great way to end his mid-season, before the hard court season begins in August.  If Andy decides to play more matches for Great Britain in the future it would signify better chances for the team to go into further rounds, and you never know what if he helps in one day sealing Britain's first win of the Davis Cup in well over 70 years, when it was won by Fred Perry and his partner Bunny Austin.  And no mistake about it, Andy is the greatest British player in the game since Fred Perry and he may yet prove vital in Britain's success not only in the Davis Cup but also in that bloomin elusive Grand Slam business.

So anyway that's that over with for now and there of course some smaller tennis tournaments on the go just now, but I'll take a tennis posting break for a bit, cos God knows I've done enough, I almost know how tired these players must feel!  Ahh ok I'm joking!  But once the hard court season rears up, I'll be bloggin like mad!  And I think the next big hard court tournament is the Rogers Cup, Canada's ATP 1000 Masters title, which is split between Montreal one year and Toronto the next.  Andy is the title holder just now, one that he has defended back to back for the last two years, but of course let's not forget a certain player Novak Djokovic, who has been oblierating every player of late, and well its hard court season so it might be cleanup time and may see Andy handing his title over to the Djoker.  I hope not, it would be great to see Andy defeat him, and hold onto that title, and show Djoky that he ain't invincible and he can be beaten and it ain't all about Serbia this year and that the Muzza is coming for him!  Or I could be just ready for heavy word eating, in fact that's usually the case, but we shall see.

Until then rock on.  And that's eet for the tennis postings fer a bit.  More to follow of a non tennisy nature soon!
