Today At Wimbledon

Will Miss Scotland (the blonde out of the two attention-seekers pictured) be back at Wimbledon for Andrew Murray's semi-final against Andy Roddick? And if so, will the BBC continue to attempt to create some little soap opera around her? 
On Wednesday, every time Murray won a point, they cut between the restrained applause of his girlfriend, Kim Sears, sat next to his Mum in the players' box, and the screeching former schoolmate in the Royal Box (which is, in fact, the comped tickets box). Were they trying to make Murray look more interesting with a fake love triangle? 
If so, they failed pretty badly as, when Murray was shown footage of her after his match he said that he'd sat next to her at school in Dunblane and she was "pretty annoying". The guy had to hide under his desk to escape the Dunblane massacre and he found her the most annoying thing about school. She must be a right pain in the arse

Mardy Bummed
The player with the best name in tennis lived up to it yesterday when he and fellow-American James Blake were knocked out of the doubles – almost literally. Number one seeds and suspected T-1000s Nestor & Zimijonic kept peppering the Yanks with body blows, which pissed off the piscine one no end. And Blake-Fish lost from two sets up. That was one mardy* Fish.


Just in case you don't know this word, here's the Urban Dictionary definition:
Mardy: A word popularly used in the Nottingham/East midlands area of england. Words with a similar meaning include: stroppy, moody, sulky, grumpy, childish etc.
