Is there a more boring person in World Sport than....

ANDY MURRAY

Saw an interview recently where he beat someone 6-0 6-0 6-1: not a smile, not an amusing comment, not an interesting comment. Just a dull monotone voice.

Watch, he'll be BBC Sports Personality of the year one of these days. Tennis seems to attract these "personalities".

Murray's OK, he just hates the press. I think he'll be good for throwing some big tantrums on the court in the years to come.

Now Ding Junhui... I know he's still young and doesn't really speak English but come on...

I believe he models himself on the David Blaine interview technique:D .

I agree. Did ok when on Soccer AM. His angriness at being called English was funny too.

I don't know if anyone on here saw that match but Murray got pretty frustrated at losing the single game in the third set, which was bad form imo.

Steven Hendry, if he qualifies as a sportsman. He certainly qualifies as boring.

Damien Duff - in the media anyway.

"Who do you (Murray) want to win the World Cup?" "Anyone but England".:D

Kimi Raikonan. His mouth doesn't even move when he talks.

Stan - he'd put you to sleep.

I like Murray - he has a bit of attitude and is determined to succeed. Unlike our Stan.

i read something in the papers over here that it was over 15 years or so (can't remember exactly) since anybody won 6-0 6-0 6-0 in a grand slam event, and he was apparently annoyed about missing out on what was likely a once in a career oppurtunity

Not really he's NOT ENGLISH. This is why it is important for an independent nation to have it's own distinct language and culture,some people think you are something you are not .
