I f'in hate tennis. Strawberries and cream and all that crap. It’s almost an anti-rugby league sport.

Most commentators and aficionados of our sport will post endless rhetoric relating to the conflict inherent in rugby. I’m rugby league through and through. But I don’t want a bad word said about union because at the end of the day, despite all of its failings it’s not tennis. Which for me loving is e.

Come on Murry I'll be there on Sunday.

I hate stubbing my toe.

You can be just walking along and enjoying the day and then, out of nowhere, you bang the toe. The pain is so intense and it can just ruin one's entire day!

I just loving hate it!

What annoys me is that during the Wimbledon fortnight the BBC shows approx 100 hrs of tennis on BBC1 (8hrs a day for 13 days) whereas their entire annual broadcast time for RL and many other sports is much less than this.

Tennis is ok its only here two weeks. its that giraffe neck odd ball i cant stand murry i hope the fed beats him hands down and sends him packing back to scotland

Tennis can be avoided with skillful use of the remote control or by simply leaving the room in which the television is located

Tennis is more than a 2 week a year sport

The tennis player of today is a super fit athlete, capable of slugging out a 4 hour ++ match day after day.

Personally, I enjoy watching tennis, if only I had functioning knees, I would be out there playing as well !!

Finally - I hope Murray wins the thing on Sunday, not just for British tennis but also to see the facebook / twitter rants of Murray's No 1 hater, our very own DJ Birch

I don't care if Murray wins or not in the final..
What i don't get is why some people are consumed with hatred for the guy..? Is it xenophobia him being Scottish and all..??
Or is it because he wore that Paraguay shirt as a joke.... Either way it all seems pretty petty to me...

I love the way middle Englanders hate Murray. I only take a vague interest in tennis but I like him a lot and would love him to win tomorrow.

Did anyone listen to radio two yesterday afternoon nina myskow was on talking about murray and his mum how she got away with it i will never know.
Now thats one women who hates Murray and she let people know just what she thought of him

How can anybody "hate" Murray? This is a guy who was involved in the Dunblane massacre - he was cowering in a classroom at the time. He has played some fantastic tennis and I would love to see him win.
Can't see it, however, with the machine that is Federer in his way.
Women's tennis, on the other hand - money for old rope. But enough of Venus Williams. Or the other one.

Miserable sod.

I like tennis, yesterday i was watching a great Tennis player but he fell at the final hurdle to the final, unlucky Tsonga but i've just discovered my new favourite tennis player, Roger Federer so i'll be hoping this guy wins, he can play a bit too.

I am not a great tennis fan ,but it would be good for Murray to win for the Queen's Jubilee, the nation & to shove one up the jacksies of our ever under performing prima donna footballers who have promised so much for so long. But ,more than that, because he has done it all himself ,let him win for himself, he deserves it. Let us be proud of him ,win or lose tomorrow ,he deserves our respect.

Well done lad !

I don't subscribe to the support someone just because they're English/British. My favourite player is Nadal

I subscribe to this viewpoint. In the rare instances I ever have the tennis on, I support Tsonga.

I try to avoid tennis, golf & horse racing.

I can see why men's tennis gets the coverage it does. There are top athletes playing some fantastic and entertaining sport, all year round.

Women's tennis, on the other hand, is no more of a spectacle than women's rugby league. Apart from perving on Maria Kirilenko I don't see any redeeming features that sees the game get the coverage it does. They don't cover the court well at all, they don't have long rallies, they don't have the athleticism, they don't have the quality of shots, they only play three sets maximum.. Yet they get the same coverage and now the same winning money as the men. That's a joke in my eyes, and in no way sexist, they're just nowhere near as good.

I don't see why people hate Murray. He's inoffensive. I hope he wins tomorrow, it will be good.

I'm the opposite. I don't subscribe to the support someone gets just because they're good or have a chance of winning or are the best and wins everything.

Really cannot stand Murray, Scottish if he wins.. British if he loses!

I like Nadal because he has a personality unlike Murray

Why should he have to have a glimmering personality that for some reason everyone demands? He is a tennis player who came from an ordinary background and became worldclass at a sport, that doesn't mean he will be a tv star who is articulate and interesting to listen to. He's a bloke who is good at tennis, if you took randoms off the street you'd fine a vast majority would be the same as him, just not good at tennis.

Personality gives an extra dimension that makes you want to watch them, the x factor if you would.

When i see Murray i just see a guy who although talented always looks sulky and holding his leg or shoulder or ankle pretending it's injured. Look at yesterday, first Brit to get to a final in years and he's straight off the court, the guy has no sense of occasion and just lulls around the court, his mum is weird too, sometimes it comes across as though they're a little too close almost incestual, bloody creepy is what i call it, the guys only redeeming feature is his tennis but ironically it's not enough.

I enjoy watching tennis and am a big fan of Murray. Not just because he is British but because he is a very entertaining player to watch never gives up on a point and makes some amazing shots. Ain't bin as much lately but usually go for a game at Birchwood. What annoys me is the attitude of some people who say when he wins he is British and when gets beat is Scottish.

But that's just it, he's not there to make you want to watch him for his personality, he's there because he is world class at tennis. Go for a walk down the street, there's a vast number of creepy people about, but you wouldn't make much deal about it when you see them. He's there to play tennis and nothing else, when it comes down to it.

Seriously, Yed wants his tennis players to have personality. I feel the same.

I won't put words in Yed's mouth, but I find tennis to be a very ty sport and, in no way, inclusive of spectators. It appears stuffy, reserved and elitist. People just sit around and a lot of the coverage is on who is in the crowd or some other BS. The only thing that nearly appeals to me is a personality from the stars and I'm sure there are many aspects of life in which you feel the same. I'm sure you must like Bob Dylan or Johnny Lydon or Bruce Springsteen or John Lennon over, say Mariah Carey or Celine Dion.

The latter are the better singers but Dylan and Lennon are more likable and have more personality.

I feel the same about Tennis.

My sentiments to this sport, have been summed up in the first sentence.

Bar on the news, when I haven't got to my remote control quick enough, I haven't seen a single point of Wimbledon (or any tennis champs, for years)

What get's me, is the "what? you don't like Andy Murray/tennis (in general)" attitude of some people, and people in the media. I give zero f#cks about tennis, so I don't watch it. So why are people/the media so obsessed about shoving it down my throat, about 10 weeks a year. We aren't force fed the same tripe about equestrian sports (as an example, which Britain has a SUBSTANTIONAL better record at, compared to tennis).

Oh, and don't get me started on flabby armed, middle aged housewives from the Home Counties, who's sole interest in sport, is 2 weeks of tennis every year, and shouting "come on Tim/Andy/Greg/Jeremy/Buster/John", and waving a Union Jack. Get back to the kitchen, and make the tea, beehatches
