Yes ludricous really.

Yeah been away for a while on these forums, much to do with a loss of interest...not for Rugby League, but just the way it is run by the RFL, but thats another debate, im looking forward to the Mtchplay darts and some good debate.

Enjoyed the final today, Novak really deserved his win, i know he has won the Oz Open twice, but a Wimbledon win really puts you on the global map, goes world number 1 tommorow and he'll take some stopping over the next few years.

He was outstanding, the first two sets he blew Nadal away completely. Thought it was a really good match to watch, think BBC team where unfair saying it wasn't a great final, I bet they wouldn't have been saying that had Nadal won it. Djokovic played some brilliant shots and some great tennis. It's the one he's always wanted and nice to see Nadal/Federer's domination of Wimbledon come to an end.

Can't wait for the Matchplay, the only major Taylor's gripping onto so be interesting to see how he performs. Look forward to some good debate on the darts thread when it gets going. Be good to see you over there.

So, do we all start hyping up Broady as the "next big thing in British sport" yet?

He's from Stockport. Somewhere nice in Stockport though I'd suggest, Bramhall or the likes.

Probably won't make the top 50 in the world, to be honest.....He was only the 15th seed in the Youth singles, so it indicates he isn't really a consistant power at that level, so to expect him to transfer it to the senior tour is a bit optimistic.

Good luck to the lad, though I'm pretty sure the media and public alike, will take great delight in picking him apart in the years to come.

Im sure Broady will do well in the Davis Cup in a few years time, in an Eastern European Zone 8 Relegation decider against Kazakhstan.
