I probably need another cup of coffee before he tried to write something meaningful about Andy Murray – the impact he’s had on the sport, the way he’s conducted himself and the entertainment he’s given us all. He’s been great, hasn’t he?
Send me an email with your thoughts on Murray’s career. (It’s not quite over yet, of course.)
