• Of course Tim would have played! And if Murray decides not to be selfish (though I would understand if he didn't) then the younger players could go into the tie with less pressure and maybe actually get a win or two ... But we shall see. - By Jean September 24, 2009 at 08:20:51 AM
  • Mind you, if Murray had shown even half the fire and passion for the doubles on Saturday as he did for the singles on Sunday, they'd probably have won that match! But then it was only the tie that was at stake on Saturday, whereas he had his own singles record as an added incentive on Sunday ... or am I just being cynical??? :-) - By Jean September 24, 2009 at 02:02:54 PM
    • Agree with that, Jean, and again Tim would have given the doubles his all as well as the singles. Probably I'm a cynic like you:-) - By Liz September 24, 2009 at 03:11:07 PM
      • Yes, there was a different 'feeling' altogether when Tim was playing but even he got worn down with the dream he so cherished, think Austria. In a way it's not fair to Murray to play DC, he cannot win it alone and he may injure himself for the tour. Best to let the new British players have a go. It's vital experience for them and can only help long term the aims of British tennis. Maybe in those lower ranks lurks another Tim Henman. - By Linda September 26, 2009 at 10:15:23 AM
        • I remember when we played Zimbabwe at Crystal P. Both Tim & Greg were injured and couldn't play, BUT they both turned up to support Andrew and Jamie, which showed their level of commitment. - By Gill Hurrell September 26, 2009 at 11:42:20 AM
