Showing my age here but what is Reddit?
Nice interview with Jamie here - interesting to read he finished the partnership with Peers by email! https://www.theguardian.com/sport/20...tantly-warm-to |

It's kind of a cross between a forum and blogging - basically people just post about any old thing they're interested in and start a conversation.

I have no idea but I'm thinking maybe an American thing and not something we need to know about.

I admit I know little but really bad things about Reddit, child porn, Pizzagate, Fappening, but hey I'm not a member so it may be all sensationalism. It's clearly used by many millions and I'm sure they're not all pervs, weirdos or alt-right trolls. I use Twitter, and though all those people exist there too, I can easily keep it off my timeline. |

I wonder which WTA/ATP players would get invited to the wedding. It will probably be just Vika, Caroline, Sveta and maybe Andy R?
With Beyonce as the wedding singer!!! |

Maybe he was distracted playing Goffin knowing the news was coming out. |

If ever a tennis player deserved a knighthood it's Andy. Really not a bad finish to his year at all is it?

Nothing dubious about it- she won 24 Grand Slam Singles Titles.
Some of her early Aussie Open titles were no more than glorified national championships. Only one overseas player even entered the 1961 Australian Open. Normally I'd say she could only play the draw that was in front of her - but this is a woman that I can't abide, so she gets no benefit of the doubt from me.

Start of the year he has to learn Daddy is his new name, end of the year it's Sir Daddy
![]() I wonder if they'll put his full title up on the scoreboard at Wimbledon and how many are going to have fun on court playing against a Knight of the Realm? |

But a source close to the star last night said that he would eschew his new title and refuse to be officially addressed as Sir Andy when he plays at Wimbledon. Above quote from the DM. Such a pity. Would've been fun having the umpires address him as Sir Andy.
They said: 'That will make him feel uncomfortable. He wants as little fuss as possible.' |

Will he still be plain Andy Murray on the scoreboard at Wimbledon next year?
They got rid of the formal initials and "Miss" or "Mrs." They never did have "Mr." though Nastase once insisted the umpire call him "Mr. Nastase". |

I, like irishguy above, wish they had waited until he retired. |
