Yawn ... wakey, wakey ...

Just a message about the tennis.

GUEST BLOG: ANDY MURRAY, ESPECIALLY FOR GARDENERS MUPPET SECTION.

MY preparation for Wimbledon hasnâ??t been ideal. I was forced to pull out of the Sandwich Spread Classic in Margate due to sore eyelids and then, to make matters worse, I bruised my knuckles punching a wall after my brother Jamie beat me at Swingball.

This year Iâ??ve come to Wimbledon to win, not to go out in the second round at the hands of Ecuadorâ??s 53rd seed. That was two years ago, and that, my friends, will never happen to Andy Murray again.

Everything has to be right when you go on court. The smallest distraction could totally send my game into free-fall. Like the time at the Unigate Milk Masters in Prestatyn, when I noticed the ball boy standing at the other end was wearing white shorts with a red stripe. I complained bitterly to the umpire until he forced him do the rest of the match in his underpants.

Iâ??ve been spending a lot of time with my hero Tim Henman lately. Heâ??s been giving me some brilliant advice about how to nearly win Wimbledon. He told me that to overcome your opponent, you have to be in 'the zone'. We sat around chatting about 'the zone' for a while, until he suddenly threw away his Cornetto and stormed off.

All I'd done was ask him what happened to the 'the zone' when he lost those four semi-finals. Still, what a hero.

Everyone always asks me the same question: does it bother me that Jamie has won a Grand Slam event and I haven't, to which I reply, 'of course not, he's my brother'.

Nevertheless, it is worth pointing out that he did win the mixed doubles, which strictly speaking, isn't proper tennis because there are two girls on the court so all you have to do is hit the ball at them really, really hard and they run out of the way.

Not that I'm knocking it. Of course not. If I was like Jamie, and had one fifth of my talent, I'd probably play mixed doubles as well. Only I'd win it every year, not just the once like he has.

LOVE ANDY XXX

Hey nothing to apologize for lass. I use one half the time as well. But we are the kind of crips that get on with life. Every one is disabled in one way or another. Life is for living and paying bills:rolleyes:

I'm as daft as the rest of you lot.:thumb:

Just for all my mates on here...we don't have any hangup's about being disabled. So if anyone posts crip jokes etc there won't be any complaints from this end. OK.
