No. The Olympic win is nice, but they'll remain restless until the big trophy stays on the island.

Congrats to Murray, but I wonder if Roger was out of it after Friday's marathon.

And no, it does not break the drought.

but something has happened to Murray this last few weeks. He was on fire, he has found something that has pushed him up over the hump.

Sad for Fed. Friday had to be a factor.

And he'll stay #1...what's sad is he probably won't be in the next Olympics.

that was a tough match to come back after and Roger is not 23 anymore ... the slams are more important but I'm glad too that Andy finally won something.

just couldn't muster the match today. It almost looked like he wasn't trying......but I'm sure that marathon just took it all out of him. Glad for Andy though.
