Andy Murray wins match, and millions of fans with thrilling comeback

Thrilling? It's tennis! Never was the concept of thrilling less appropriately applied.

The Times' back page splash talked about 'the nation' being gripped.

Er, not in this corner of Finchley it wasn't. Nor in many other places, to judge from a quick phone and email survey I've just conducted amongst my sports-mad friends. Not one of the watched, or could care less about what happens to Mr Murray or any of his fellow competitors. Tennis, as I keep repeating, is the sport for people who don't like sport.

The only thing more tedious than the domination of the airwaves and newspapers by this dull event is my constant moaning about how bored I am by it. But heh, it's my blog, and I can bore anyone if I choose to!

But I do think I am performing a public service - doing my little bit to redress the balance.
