Always nice to see a well-mannered sportsman.  Makes such a change from the petulant, sulking, whining, childish specimens who think so highly of themselves.

Oh I sooo agree

Throwing tantrums, shouting at umpires - though I have noticed a sharp improvement in their self-control since warnings were introduced.

Anyone know if Alan Mills (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_Mills_(tennis))
was there?
 
He was always called out by whichever umpire was having trouble with Nastase, McEnroe or Connors

Ooooh, the superbrats.  Not that I think talent excuses bad manners, but the petulant creatures with nothing worth shouting about always seemed more offensive.   Penalty points put a stop to most of it and a good thing too - spoiling everyone else's enjoyment is out of order.

Murray's win against Djokovic was watched by a peak audience of more than 17m viewers on BBC One.
The final also dominated social networking sites, with Twitter saying eight of the UK's top 10 trending topics as Murray hit the winning shot were Wimbledon-related.
At around the same time - 17:25 BST - the number of mentions of the final peaked at 120,000 tweets per minute.
Murray also added more than 230,000 new fans to his Facebook page, up to a total of nearly 1.3 million likes, during the second week of the tournament.
The Dunblane-raised player dedicated the triumph, which earned him prize money of £1.6m, to his coach Ivan Lendl. The American-Czech, 53, won eight Grand Slam titles as a player in the 1980s and 1990s, but failed to win the Wimbledon men's singles.

Wimbledon was a laughing stock because of it's frumpy attitude. Even now it needs a good kicking to bring it to the twentieth century..........Sunday off do you believe it. Two weeks of glory and the great British wimps need a day off...................
