When will an English player win a GS?

Fred Perry was the last one in 1936...

Yeah.... Hopefully! :)

Are you joking ? There is not one single English player who can win regularly on the Challenger circuit ! Never mind a slam challenger ! It won,t happen in my lifetime. There is no Englishman CLOSE TO THE TOUR ! I would love there to be one ! I like Novak for his passion and being a personality . But seriously , English slam Challenger . It won,t be likely to happen until Murray retires and by then u can bet THERE WILL BE MORE ANDY MURRAY,s . Not on his level but I bet you more and more top Brits will be scots after this .

I know right no english player is winning a slam anytime soon, Its why I cannot support Murray because of all that scottish stuff... its just me personally...

Johnny Groove will get dual citizenship and bring one home for them :rocker2:

Maybe never. If Scotland becomes independent country will Murray's triumph no longer count for UK?

Not until the apocalypse.

:lol: I am not sure scotland can do it if they become independent. Good luck to them but we all Know Murray did it for Scotland.

Laura Robson is the best hope.

But maybe you can't become English by immigration, just British. Interesting question. Can an immigrant to England be English? I guess not, because you can only immigrate to the UK. I find this conundrum more interesting than the thread title.

Nobody cares.

The English are too busy dominating in proper sports like darts and snooker (barring a few of Scots). An honourable mention also goes to cycling, but that's hardly physically taxing, so doesn't really deserve to be called a sport.

In summary, we're so awesome at other sports that we let the second rate nations battle it out for the prizes in a shitty sport like tennis.

:p

Murray is English







:p

Before Chile gets its first men slam title. At least the UK is close enough.

Being a Aussie she,ll be Desendant from a English convict as the Aussie accent comes from the London cockney accent ! On a technical term Andy Murray,s English and I am Desendant from a Italian . So let's stop all the technical crap and just call her British . Seeing as she grew up in London , I,de say English !

If you want to get really daft Murray,s nan was born in England , lol . No seriously . He is a scot !

People's sense of national identity , comes from themselves . Laura is constantly getting asked in interviews if she will ever switch , and she repeatedly sounds slightly annoyed by it ! And probebly the biggest point , do you hear a Aussie accent when she talks ? Me neither !

Never!

All hail Scotland! :worship:

All I know is Liam Broady will have a more successful career than Filip Peliwo :yeah:

when they actually build local tennis courts in the country and remove the stereotype of it being a upper class, nancy boy, ponce sport

so, not happening

Not so far. Good name though. Sounds like a tall thin movie star with a Dungannon accent.

how do you know? :p

Murray is English







:p

Murray is English just as much as Cilic is Serbian.

i don't think cilic is from this planet

:rolleyes:

Liam Broady ? No . I had high hopes for him for a while , but he won,t do anything . Oliver Golding won the juniors US Open last year and won 2 futures this year and was a runner up at another , I still don,t think he will do anything . Players that get to the top tend to eat Challenger players for breakfast after a short while, No Brit is giving that impression even in the futures!

fred perry became american

that doesn't even make sense. both england (and hence the UK) already have slam winners.

it's striking that england hasn't had a GS winner since 1936, though.

exactly

the talent pool in england is huge

they are not tapping it

Some South African Migrated to England.

I don't think I'll see the day.

Henman should have won both W and shitty FO in 2004.

Hopefully Oliver or George can bag a slam for the real home of tennis. Unlikely, though.

Henman should have won both W and shitty FO in 2004.

Actually I realized last week that the two players who had played most slam semifinals in the open era without winning a slam were ... Andy Murray (11 SF, now he has won a slam) and ... Tim Henman (6 SF) (then came Okker and Nalbandian with 5)

Funny I think but now it's corrected for Murray, never for Henman :sad:

When Edward I ''Hammer of the Scots'' comes back from dead and beats Andy in epic Wimbledon final

In the meanwhile, Golding or Edmund in some distant future

Henman should have won both W and shitty FO in 2004.

no

he certainly mugged up the french that year though

mugged up WIM 2001 even more :o

Did he? LOL Gotta love it.

Yeah, me ;)

All jokes aside. I don't know, but i think it will be a while yet

no

I did not mean 2004 Wimbledon to be clear.

Soon as I finish my genetically engineered mutant. It's mostly a Federer-Nadal hybrid with some Sampras serve-volleying genes added.

England will rule the world again. Mwuahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!
