    People knock him for his seemingly dour persona but how would you feel having cameras and mic's shoved in your face everywhere you go? Some people revel in the fame and others are less comfortable with it. It's not a reflection on who they truly are though.

    Agreed. I don't know how Letters does it.

    he absolutely detests it. when he won queens, in the after match interview he was asked about the charity knock about he was doing later and he replied with 'well after this nonsense (interview/ceremony) is finished...' and the crowd laughed.

    i think people finally 'get' him and the fact that he isn't a moody dour scot but just not interested in the bs trimmings that come with being at the pinnacle of your sport. his talent is fully appreciated now so hopefully he can fulfill that potential with a few more slams on the next 4/5 years.

    Radwanska .

    Although Lisicki has the second loveliest smile in sport after Welbz, so well done to her.

    Balotelli is hitting is so cleanly and accurately at the moment, I wouldn't be surprised if she won. The crowd would probably cry if she did.

    Murray was absolutely awlful against Verdasco. The whole match was of a poor standard, apart from a few decent rallies they strung together in the fifth. He was like that against Youzhny at times too. If he plays like that, it's a sixth convincing Slam final defeat. He can probably get through Sir Chesney by another five sets of pubbery.

    Del Potro's weponz will have to be firing with unlimited ammo from the off if he's to stand a chance. Djokovic would most likely wear him down over five sets, even if he had fully-functioning knees. Del Potro hammering it at all angles is one of the best sights in sport, so it should great even if he barely moves.

    Barker on Janowicz: "We know he has a big serve but we don't know a lot else".

    Seeing Del Potro at the baseline just looks like a boss fight.

    I thought Kevin Spacey being Muzza's best friend was weird. Anna Wintour is a whole other level of oddness.

    Federer can only muster Gwen Stefani's husband on a regular basis.

    ^this

    Murray has never come across as dour in interviews to me. He just seems like a shy guy who doesn't really like the attention.
