Well done Andy! So what now? Will he go into coaching future stars, or do something entirely different? He has never known much else. |

I am old enough to remember the likes of Billie Jean King and John McEnroe. Andy Murray appealed to me because he is an emotional heartfelt player/fighter without being a brat like McEnroe. |

I believe Sir Malcolm Sargent won it the year before." Unfair! If you're in the audience you could see Rod's bottom only some of the time but you could see Sir Malcolm's all of the time (unless you were in the cheap seats behind the band). We need to adopt an objective standard for bottom-observation. I'm willing to take on half the job (i.e., one out of two genders, not one out of two buttocks). |

Already, since an X-ray was publicized, people are saying that something x-rated is in the X-ray along with his hip ... so puerile of people. Anyhow, here's Andy Murray's post-surgery news. |

30 Jan 19 - 12:17 PM (#3974138) Subject: RE: BS: Andy Murray From: keberoxu I am the last person in the world to find out that Andy Murray had hip surgery a year ago as well, so that's two surgeries on that hip within twelve months. The poor guy would just like the quality of life sufficient to take his border terriers for walks without excruciating hip pain. more on Andy Murray |

31 Jan 19 - 06:21 PM (#3974298) Subject: RE: BS: Andy Murray From: keberoxu Plucky Andy Murray found out that the television show host Piers Morgan was joking on his TV broadcast about the X-ray image that Murray posted to social media. "I was heavily medicated at the time," Murray then texted to Morgan, and of course Morgan announced the text on air. Well I saw some image of some X-Ray finally and whose-ever it was, it -- erm -- yes, it is a distracting image ! |

02 Feb 19 - 04:40 AM (#3974522) Subject: RE: BS: Andy Murray From: Senoufou I agree with all that has been said above about his talent, his determination and his wonderful victories. But I can never understand why people post on social media photos of private stuff such as their operations, X-rays and so on. These things are confidential. I read that the picture of Andy lying in his hospital bed with various lines attached to his arm etc has provoked a lot of arguments from medics in UK and USA. The other arm should have been used. No, it was correct as it's the same side as the hip op. The lines are sharing a vein. No they aren't. His X ray shows his genitals (which it does) and so on. All very distasteful and intrusive, but avoidable if he'd merely shown his bravely smiling face. |
