Thanks for the thread. Add me!

**chaos blues** · 01-28-2012, 03:12 AM

will do.

Sweet Embrace · 01-28-2012, 03:14 AM

I feel bad because Novak is my favourite player, I couldn't support Murray yesterday but Murray, the way he is playing right now, is sublime. He will really challenge the top 4 if he keeps it up

Thanks for the add!

**chaos blues** · 01-28-2012, 03:24 AM

Aww that's okay. I generally like Novak too, but couldn't support him yesterday.

Everyone has their favorites.

I'm sure his time will come. He is on the right way.

Sweet Embrace · 01-28-2012, 03:47 AM

Is Murray your favourite then? That's okay then

Yeah I can totally see him getting a few masters along the way and then of course, clay he is pretty solid on.

CarlaTVD · 01-28-2012, 03:52 AM

Can I be added?! I love him!

I've seen him play at RG last year against Troicki! Epic match!

Yes!

I love him.

I have never seen him "live" sadly, but I hope I can make it to the French Open maybe.

Added you!

Sweet Embrace · 01-28-2012, 04:06 AM

Are you from England Soph? Murray has really grown on me in the past few years. I much prefer it when he's not cursing out loud or hitting his foot with his racket

**chaos blues** · 01-28-2012, 04:14 AM

Nope, I'm from Germany.

But somehow I have always had a special connection to the UK. Besides there is not really a German player that stands a chance of winning.

And yeah, he has really grown up since last year.

I like this new version of him better as well.

Thanks for starting this thread. I`m happy to see Andy getting his own thread here at

. Anyone that can give a lot of my favorites players like Nole, Jo-Wilfried and Andy Roddick certainly has my respect. Plus i hope that Andy will win his first Grand Slam title soon. If there`s anyone i prefer to see win a Grand Slam title outside of my favorite players, it`s Andy.

Also since i`m the resident thread starter here at the Sports board, i recommend that you add some pics and gifs to the OP. In fact here are some to provide an example of.

This pic of Andy and his mom Judy can be under the Murray family section

along with this pic of Andy and Jamie after they won their first doubles title together

and this pic at Jamie`s wedding to Alejandra Gutierrez.

Of course i can`t forget about Andy and Kim Sears.

Plus i hope that y`all will do a section for Andy`s friendship with Nole.

I loved their hug after their classic match.

Pretty OP Sophia!

What's a residence thread starter?

Hot Rod · 01-28-2012, 09:13 AM

Well technically i start most of the tennis related threads here.

Also here`s a video of Andy and Nole practicing at Miami almost a couple of years ago.

Karma Police · 01-28-2012, 09:16 AM

Oh, I see. But I think the OP looks good the way it is, Personally I'm not a big fan of random pics in OP's. I love it when a OP is well organized.

stinebiene · 01-28-2012, 09:25 AM

Soph, you finally started the Andy thread

I was totally rooting for a Murray/Nadal finale for the AOs - too bad it didn't work out

And I like the OP, it's not as cluttered or disorganized as in other threads
