Dame Judy?

No not Judi.
They were hyping it as the World Cup of tennis – and Great Britain won it for the first time in 79 years this afternoon.
Well I say Great Britain….
I don’t wish to minimise the efforts and input of team coach Leon Smith and the other players who contributed to elevating GB to the highest level of team tennis but in reality this was a triumph for a small town in Scotland (Dunblane beats the world!) – and more especially for one family.
I know some would say the very best players apart from one A. Murray had sat this year out and that it was only Belgium who stood in the way today but Belgium had made it to the final and had home advantage. Anyway as the old football cliché has it you can only beat what’s in front of you.
Really though, a win for the first time in 79 years speaks for itself.
Arguably the lioness’s share of the glory belongs to one woman, Judy Murray. Dame Judy, anyone?

Peggy,
Yes indeed.
As far as sport is concerned Scots are more used to having defeat thrust on them in a variety of bizarre ways. It’s wonderful to have a sportsman so driven as Andy Murray, so dedicated to winning.
