Twenty Grand Slams and counting - remarkable.
Yeah it is, catching Serena now. :mrgreen: He covers the ground like Muhammad Ali he floats. Wouldn't surprise if he plays until 40, he's smart when it comes to managing his workload.

With Novak and Rafael around (and Andy) this is the toughest era of all time and Roger just keeps winning.

Male tennis is a far harder and more competitive field than the woman's game - they play only three sets for a start.

It also annoys me that over the past decade (and more) almost every single female player (apart from Martina Hingis and Justine Henin) collapsed like a pack of cards and seemed to give up before they had even bloody played her - Sharapova for a start.

Richie Gray will miss Scotland's opening Six Nations game against Wales, because of a Calf Injury.

Hopefully he'll be back for our game against the Frenchies.

Still at least his brother Johnny is fit for Saturday's game.

Richie is one of the tallest players in rugby.

Richie is 6ft 10ins

Johnny is 6ft 6ins

Richard Metcalfe is the tallest rugby player of all time.

The former Scottish international was 7ft tall.

Scotland got absolutely slaughtered by Wales today.

A nice full night of boxing on ITV4 tonight - topping the bill the Cruiserweight unification bout between IBF champ Gassiev and WBA beltholder Dorticos.

Both undefeated and a Russia v Cuba match up is always fun to watch. :cuppaT:

What a performance from Gassiev and how tough was Dorticos until he finally fell?

What a treat to have a fight of this calibre on free telly for once. :cuppaT:

We can add Rugby Union to the long list of sports that Scotland are absolutely shite at.

Look at the Sassanachs spilling their guts.

I was under the impression the Six Nations was a tournament and not a one off game.

So we got humped on Saturday :whogives: there's still a long way to go.

Like on the 24th of Feb when Engerland visit Murrayfield.

Aye ye'll be laughing on the other side eh yer faces that night!!
