Andy Murray breezed past the thundering service game of big Sam Querrey this evening in straight sets. He will face Jo-Wilfried Tsonga on Wednesday and will confident of seeing him off to reach Friday's semi-finals where he is most likely to face his nemesis in the shape of Raphael Nadal. A fully fit Nadal represents a massive hurdle but Murray's in deceptively good form and I can see him coming closer than ever to making a Wimbledon final appearance which would, in itself, be a major achievement for a Brit.
The latest football gossip is linking out-of-contract Lloyd Sam with a new club. His agent is saying he will still consider an offer to stay but it's hard to see him receiving anything that might be acceptable. The potential salt in the wound here would be if Palace were to land him. They are rumoured to be interested and if he follows in the footsteps of Darren Ambrose by making a successful transition, it will give us all yet more to complain about this year.
Having told us that yesterday Murray was going to lift our gloom - there was me assuming that Richard was now digging into his back pocket to sign us a new wunderkind Spanish striker, who was keen to come to Charlton to reunite with his cousin and your jogging partner Miguel.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know they did sport in Wimbledon after they closed down Plough Lane.
