Morning Fluffy, Joe, Rexi
Just popping in to say that if you're allergic to the commentary of Andrew Castle, there is alternative commentary available from Radio 5Live on the red button this morning.
They do talk over rallies, but I'm not finding that a problem. The commentary from the 5 Live team is so much better.
This tennis is stunning already, loving it!

he definately has - looking forward to Wimbledon now
Thanks Scotty, *crawls off to get some sustainance.*
Relax and enjoy
Just got back from my walk ... disappointed at the result, but he's on fine form.
Well done Andy, and thanks again to you Fluffs
I don't think I've ever seen a match turn on a feather before......it really did seem to be the turning point for Novak!
Andy was obviously in some pain after the first two sets as well. He's a different player now though, and this loss won't bring him down as it would have done a couple of years ago.
Great final And nice to see Andre Agassi presenting the trophies.
