Only Beauty Can Save The World

Or come back Roger and Rafa tennis needs you. I'm sure many fans of other players would agree because sharing a court with them can make any player look more golden. Sadly it looks like Rafa may spend the rest of the year resting his knees and fishing. You would think that if it's possible to put a man on the moon it would be possible to fix a couple of knees but no (mistaken priorities... Pfft!).

But the good news is it looks like Roger will be playing again on Friday in the Davis Cup.

Hurray!

This brought a smile to my face.

It's OK now legendkillarV2 and carrieg4 I think that ugly match has finished now. You can take your hand off your eyes...

I would gladly remove my once you remove the thinking function from your backside.

Andy Murray US Open 2012 Champion

it really happened didn't it? I'm not just dreaming?

It really did

Beauty and the Beast...

Well you can't have one without the other and to find beauty you sometimes have to look for it in the beast. As David Bowie once sung:

"My-my
Smile at least
You can't say no to the Beauty and the Beast"

Andy Murray, grand slam winner.

Sounds good doesn't it?

Don't forget the 2012 Olympic Champion and dual-medallist



Rafa has offered warm congratulations to Andy today but will hawkeye follow suit? Nope. She can't fully respect Rafa then.

Wouldn't it be nice if we all had our favourites but still respected everyone else?

I would like to hear if HE is pleased that Britain has ended its 76 year wait for a grand slam winner?.....

Just to clarify how I'm feeling today....

pretty much



and the odd bit of but in a happy way

Yep that's what I was shouting at around 2 o'clock Tuesday morning at 5-2 in the final set.

'Come on Andy you beauty'

Of course my eyesight isn't that good but given the circumstances I think some poetic licence should be allowed.

Look on the plus side of things Hawky. Andy and Rafa have the same amount of US Open titles

ships that pass through the night and all that.

Oh and Andy became the first person to win Olympic Gold and the US Open in the same year. Little bit of history for him.

looks pretty beautiful to me

Only beauty can save the world - well, that rules me out, I don't think I'll even bother trying.

Message to OP - bitterness will definitely not save anything.

I don't see anything disrespectful here. I'm not sure who this is aimed at. Please tell me you don't find these celebrations disrespectful towards HE? After everything she's ever written about Murray that would be truly amazing!

Does anyone have a picture of Murray's name on the trophy? "It's still (not) real to me dammit!"
