TheScarf Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 He’s undoubtedly Scotland’s greatest ever sportsperson. There’s an argument there for Britain’s greatest too. Given the competition he’s had to face his whole career. I can’t think of any other sportsperson who has had to battle 3 of the greatest players of their sport. Maybe even the 3 greatest. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was the year Henman utterly shat himself in the semi wasn't it? I know he did that a few times, but IIRC he got 2-1 up then lost a tie break amongst a pile of rain delays, and blew it in 5 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henman had beaten Federer in the Quarter Final, but then lost to Ivanisevic much like you said. Goran had also beaten Rusedski. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peasy23 Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 BBC Scotland showing a round up of Scotland's medal winners at Rio 2016. Obviously delighted that Murray won gold, but you couldn't really have grudged Delpo a win considering everything he had gone through to get there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
