Castle on Murray and a brief look ahead to 08
Permalink  

The most annoying commentator around gives his (and its a bit waspish) view on Murray 

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/main.jhtml?view=DETAILS&grid=A1YourView&xml=/sport/2007/12/18/stcast118.xml


Castle's wish list for 2008:

1. Andy Murray wins a grand slam
2. Roger Federer wins the French Open to complete his set of majors.
3. Venus and Serena Williams to play a full schedule.
4. Russian tennis players, any of them, to smile on court.
5. Great Britain beat Argentina in the first round of the Davis Cup world group.
6. The Tennis Foundation to succeed in their noble goal of broadening the base of the game in Britain.
7. A female Briton to earn a place in the profit-making part of the rankings - i.e. the top-100.
8. A rain-free Wimbledon.
9. To hit one forehand like our lord Roger.
10. To hit one backhand like our lady Justine Henin.

I agree that andrew castle is annoying - I remember really enjoying the master series tv on the web because the commentators (one from SA I think) just kept delighting in Andy's talent and style (even though he wasnt playing that well!).

I can't stand listening to BBC commentators who keep droning on about how grumpy Andy looks. On another occasion I heard one of them allluding to how Judy doesnt have Tim's mum's deportment. Most recently, I found the commentary on Tim/Jamie in the DC doubles insufferable (even allowing for the fact that it was Tim's last game)

If I had a choice I'd rather listen to foreign commentators who carry less baggage than Castle and the like.

As for the content of his article - I don't think Andy will really challenge for a major in 2008 - but I'd love to be wrong.

I guess I'm not sure what challenge means, for instance I'd think about betting even money he will get to at least one major semi in 2008.
