I would never claim to like tennis, in fact I have been known to be positively anti-tennis, but I have to admit that I watch Andy Murray's destruction at Melbourne by Novak Djokovic. You could argue that the Scot (he'd have been described as a Brit had he won!) tried his best, but the Serb was frankly too good. Tennis is not a game I watch very often, with Wimbledon fortnight leading to unplugged televisions at our house, but since it was a Brit (fair play to the lad) who was in with a chance of winning a "slam" one had to offer one's support. Fat lot of good it was though. To see our Andy so totally stuffed was not a pleasant experience for anyone, and I'm sure that his chances of winning a "slam" will be discussed immensely in the press over the next few days. Not only has Djokovic hit his straps but there are others such as Nadal and Federer for Murray to contend with.
I hope he does win one eventually, I really do, but on his showing today, that elusive "slam" seems a long way away!
