Laura Robson - so close to escaping the label of plucky Brit. She will/should be kicking herself for letting Sharapova back into the match in the first set. It should have been the biggest win of her career to date.

You never get a kid on a council estate wanting to be a tennis star do you.

That's a positive, not a negative.

If you're annoyed by people shouting "Come on, Tim!" during matches, don't mention it in interviews if you want it to stop.

He needs a sense of humour transplant the miserable bugger.

Must be f**king annoying though.

Phoey! There are worse things he could have shouted at him.

What would you shout at him?

"Come on, Greg!" would be worse.

"Potato!"

Yes, I know he's not oirish.

Do it the hard way again Andy. Mind you, I spent a lot of the match distracted by the bizzare shape of the opponent's head.

And have to say I really enjoyed the sight of Pitbull jumping up and applauding at the end. Thought he didn't like sweaties?

I thought that was Phil Mitchell ho'd come to see Grant play

So I wasn't the only one who wondered why a Mitchell was in the Royal Box.
