Gap tooth ram Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 Ian Poulter? The greatest away day comeback in Ryder cup history, inspired by him on day 2. Granted, maybe not the same accomplishment as other's being mentioned, but remember the title of the award..... "personality" and Poulter has bags of it! Don't think he'll get near it, but worth a mention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trekkie_ram Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 My opinion is: Murray should win it, Wiggins will win it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trekkie_ram Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 Greg Rusedski won it just for getting to the US Open final. Andy won the US Open, and reached the Wimbledon final, and won Olympic Gold. He won't get it this year, because one day soon he WILL win Wimbledon, and that is what people are waiting for.to vote him Sports Personality of the Year. Personally, I think winning any Major in tennis in today's game, with the likes of Nadal, Federer and Djokovic, is a much bigger achievement than the plethora of accolades we get from throwing huge sums of lottery money on cycling. Yes Bradley Wiggins is very good at it, but he's one of many Brits that are very good at it. Andy Murray is the best British tennis player ever. and this year for me he proved it, credit where it is due. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best British tennis player EVER.... ha ha...yeah of course he is.......hmmmm....or would Fred "8 Singles slams" Perry be considered SLIGHTLY better than that?? Sue Barker won as many slams as Murray has.. As for slating Wiggins because of the money he has "thrown at him" have you any idea how hard it is to do what he did this year?? No one has EVER done it before, EVER.....EVER......EVER..... Wiggo by an absolute mile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was greatest British tennis player ever - equally I don't think he is because I think Perry won more grand slams However Murray I think has more career titles than the vast majority of British tennis players over the past 30 years, even if he's only managed one slam, one Olympic gold, one Olympic silver a couple of slam finals and a whole host of slam semi finals.

It would be a ridiculous statement, but not one that I made you ignorant fool. Going back to my actual statement of Andy being the best BRITISH tennis player ever, If Fred Perry at his peak was brought into the present, then Andy Murray would slaughter him, it's blatant. The game has improved so much, Andy has improved with it to compete. For example, Sampras wouldn't have nearly as many titles if he had to compete with the current top players every year. You're a broken record Muespach, and a very boring one at that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
