So it was not to be. In a typically heroic effort Murray "nearly" overcome all the problems he gave himself (did anyone else give up watching his first serve and do something more interesting instead of watch him fail to get it over the net?)
Having given away the first set Murray blasted Roddick out of the water in the second set but clearly that was too easy so third and fourth set Murray seemed to try really hard not to break Roddicks serve despite getting to 0-40 on numerous occassions.
How much greater Murrays victory would be if he overcome the man with perhaps the finest record in tie-breaks.
Cannot dislike Andy Roddick though, good after match interview even managing to overcome the BBC interviewer they must keep in a store cupboard between Wimbledon fortnights.
So here is too another 50 odd weeks of not giving a tu'peny-toss for tennis and I am very glad about that.
Oh and a quick apology, having said no Brit had won the mens single final in a lifetime I had forgotten the great Boris Becker, he clearly is a Brit who just happens to have been born with a decidedly German accent to German parents in Germany. You cannot let that sort of mishap of birth stop us claiming what obviously is a true Brit.
Afterall if we are all the same beneath the skin, we must all be Englishmen, what higher aspiration is there?
