Keep the Clay courters happy & coming.

The French open stood its ground & that is why Nadal has won so many.

Had he or Agassi played wimbledon before the changes , neither would have won
In SW19 . Shows how good Borg was .

Why are you always so negative against anyhing to do with this great land?
I’m with you Thor. I too have travelled the world and have yet to visit a country better than ours.
Neither of you can make a fair comparison unless you've actually lived in any of those countries for a long period of time. It's surely obvious that visiting a place isn't the same as living there.
That’s a fair point. Equally valid argument against those who slag off the UK without living in other countries either don’t you think! A point that cuts both ways.

I can only speak for myself, when I travel I venture into the non-tourist places, still only a snapshot I accept, and no, I haven’t lived there and importantly nor would I want to. Seen some pretty ugly stuff. For its faults, give me the UK any day.

Thor wrote: Wed Apr 01, 2020 6:59 pm Yeah I get that eh16, but I’m get to find anywhere better than here. Yes the beaches maybe better than here, yes the sun may shine longer than here. But when you take everything in to consideration, there’s nowhere better.

Many people say the USA is a great place to live and as someone who stayed in Santa Barbara for 3/4 months a year and yes it’s stunning, America is not better than here. Never in a million years. Some of the Caribbean is stunning beyond belief, Australia is an amazing country, some of the architecture in Italy is out of this world and well Egypt is the most amazing country with a history possibly unrivalled anywhere. But none of them can match good old UK. We have out thoughts and we moan a lot, but we’ve been given an amazing place in which to grow up in and live and experience things that we take for granted that others look on envious at.

It’s the greatest country on earth.
Why? I mean, there's a lot good about it, and most of us are very fortunate to be living here, but the greatest? I'm intrigued.

I've always thought the Germans were a lot like us, and like a lot of the same things, but they always seem to be a little bit better at pretty much everything.
Except winning wars
I wondered who would come up with that. Didn't think it would be you though.
