quote: - Earth to planet Barb - admire your patriotism, but think that your grasp on reality is slipping (just reminded me I must post the Ashes result in the Rugby League - Donut and Staraflur were very keen to rub my nose in it after the 1st test - bet their enthusiasm s somewhat dampened now ). Um, simple questions : 1) Last Brit to win Wimbledon 2) Last Brit to win any of the majors 3) Last Brit to lose a final of the majors (yes, Canadian citizenship need not be relevant) 4) Last British side to win the Davis Cup 5) Who will win the Gunners v Man U clash tonight (hey, I needed a 5th question for balance). I'm sure that Leyton can handle all the "slings and arrows of outrgaeous fortune", and even the odd Barb from his critics :hehe.

quote: Ummm, as my compatriots pointed out, a straight sets victory over Sampras in the US open, and Hewitts recent ascension of WORLD NUMBER ONE TENNIS PLAYER (hence the thread's reason for existance and title) puts him in a different league to Henman and Rusedski et al. He is World number one. End of year number one at that. Youngest ever or something? Some important record.... [img]smile.gif[/img] I think, as Sampras said, you'll be hearing of this Hewitt fellow for many years yet. [img]smile.gif[/img] [img]smile.gif[/img] [img]smile.gif[/img] |

Funny, I just know Barb is out there, because she just posted to the Arsenal v Man U thread - thought she would have been back with the answers to all my questions by now. Maybe she is still in research - I guess some of them have pretty obscure answers .

Apologies Barb - we must have been typing at the same time, and I failed to see your retreat. Umm, one question - ......Barb retreats to """his""" corner defeated? Barb is not, then, a shortened form of Barbara .
