Louis Armstrong Court

Post by ROBERT M. » Sun Sep 07, 2008 9:01 pm

Just to let you all know that Andy Murray is playing Rafa Nadal in the US Open semi-final (which just about to re-start) on Louis Armstrong Court. I must say, (to coin a phrase used by the legendary tennis commentator Dan Maskell) I never knew there was a court named after Mr Armstrong :wink: you learn something new every day, as they say. On the news tonight they mentioned the US banking/mortgage firms Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.............I'd never heard of those either :wink: :lol:

Hi Robert,

Well done to Andy Murray for getting through to the final of the US Open.
Just think we could have a UK champion tennis player soon! :wink:

I thought that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were film stars! :lol:
What great names they are and once heard never forgotten I think. :wink: :lol: :D

We will have to wait a while longer to have a male Grand Slam winner Hilary, after Andy Murray gave in a bit too tamely to Roger Federer last night :wink: but he is only 21. The last male Grand Slam winner for GB was Fred Perry in 1936 :wink: Virginia Wade won the Wimbledon Grand Slam for the ladies in 1977 :) I remember it well.....................I must be getting old :(
