The catering manager is watching,which means dinner will be late on the table. Wood warp,paint dry,not for me sorry Popping off to the sausage for a few till it's over. Used to play a little but never a watcher. As for the Scottish chap I hope he does well or I may not get any Dinner..But that's the only reason. ;)

Federer is a brilliant tennis player and incredibly consistent, Murray has just gone two sets to one down to Roddick.

id say top class boxers who train to fight 12 - 3 minute rounds who have to control the breathing when punching are fitter

ok you could argue cyclists are fitter than boxers, but no way are tennis players its more a stop & start they get a lot more breathers, than boxers









oh and am glad Andy Murry is out of Wimbledon, he's not British, he's said so himself he's Scottish, been brought up watching to many Mel Gibson films

and has this romantic look of Scotland's history

Ironman triathletes are pretty fit. Though it isn't really a proper sport.
