Ronnie O'Sullivan has won 19 Major (Triple Crown) titles — the most by any player in history, including a record seven UK Championships and a record seven Masters titles. What about him?
I think it needs to be taken in context, Britain just doesn't produce good Professional Tennis players, with the exception of 1-2 grand slam runner-ups Murray is the only British player since Fred Perry in the early 1930s to have reached let alone won any Grand Slam's - won 3, runner up 8 times in his career.
He's also the first and only British player ever to reach the rank of world number 1

I doubt most of us will see another British player male or female surpass his record/achievements in our lifetime.

Murray has been good, but for the tv news to be speculating that he's our greatest sportsmen ever is ridiculous.
Not following tennis, I thought that 3 grand slams meant that he'd won all the majors in a year 3 times. Turns out a grand slam is just a single major tournament! The list of people who've achieved more than that is a long one, we'll start with Lewis Hamilton and his 5 world championships, or McCoy and his total dominance of racing for decades. Murray the greatest British sportsman ever, not even close. ....and all that crying at the press conference, ffs get a grip man!
Bollocks. Murray has been an immense sportsman, far superior to Hamilton and McCoy...........they just sat in a car, or on a horse
I'm no fan of Murray, as he's a right miserable git, but what he's acheived is pretty immense and he'll never get the recognition he deserves. Not knocking Hamilton or McCoy but they're really team sports where one person gets the headlines and are just as much reliant on the horses you're riding, usually favs for McCoy, and the team in motorsports.

Seems to be issues with live scores and feeds from the German challenger. 365 have dropped the matches, Betfair scores API not working and no scoreboard sites are working. Anyone have any idea as to why? Thanks

It's probably an issue with the feed provider I guess. They stream from the umpires tablet on court, so something must be broken in that chain from there to the provider or outward from there.

Bizarre match between Parmentier and Duan just now.. 1st set Duan fell randomly, called trainer out and looked like she couldn't move at all well.. 1.01 was matched in the 2nd as Parm took lead, treatments continued which began to work, regained her movement and Duan went on to boss the match.

Considering I only joined this match at the start of the 2nd set it's proven to be well worth it and filled today's coffer jar with just two trades
