    Hapless Scot or Great Britain?

    It's the time of the year again where Andy Murray arrives at another Semi Final and finds Rafa in his way.

    Outcome today will be?

    AndyW would have beaten both of them at the same time.

    Rafa is on fire, Andy remains too emotional.

      Better a hapless player consistently reaching the semis/finals of Grand Slam tournaments than a spineless loser of the Henman ilk.

        Henman reached six Grand Slam semi-finals, won 15 career ATP titles and was ranked number 4 in the world

            Djokovic to beat Rafa for the championship again?

                Is it better to be like Henman, not quite good enough but wringing everything out of the talent he had, or good enough like Murray but serially choking worse than an All Black?

                  How many Finals did Henman make??? FFS even Rusedski managed one.




                  Had Murray come to his peak years at the same time as Henman (post Sampras and pre Federer) then he would have undoubtedly have won Grand Slam titles. As it was we were left with the mediocre Henman flattering to deceive.
                  I don't think it is simply a case of Murray choking, rather more the case that he is competing against 2-3 extremely good players in Federer, Nadal and Djokovic. To win any Slam involves beating two of them, a huge ask for anyone.
                  Were Henman playing now he would not be getting a sniff of a semi.

                    Except that Djokovic and Nadal are the two best players in the world, whereas Celtic and Rangers are
