Too busy watching it to post much, stagger. I need to watch the livestream on full page, by the time I have come out of that, come onto the board, refreshed the page and read what others have said, I don't have time to post

you need to take up smoking tim, it's better for your teeth.

Sorry if this has been discussed before, but anyone know what the "mark" is on Andy's right calf? Never noticed if before.

Anyway, Happy New Year to all. I've been hibernating of late (since the US Open), but am now back and ready for another year on the Murray roller-coaster.

Came in a little late for the start of today's match, but fingers crossed! Pins about to be stuck in the Liubicic doll.
