Murray is a WINNER, fellow Britons! Yes I know it's a shock and we have to find ways to disown him..for after all we we love the gallant sporting losers in this country.

I think he's great and its a pity a more of our pampered male tennis players - doyens of the Beckenham set - don't have his grit

Brian Fargher, Birmingham, West Midlands

Andy Murray gets enough stick from the ungrateful people in this country already without this to encourage them.

L , York,

So, is it now impossible in Britain to have a sportman who can be competitive and a winner without the need for foul mouthing.? There is no need for it, it doesn't improve the game and it shows the person for what they are. Those who enjoy vulgarity will always make such comments as they do.

Branston Pittle, Telford,

Sorry Armand, we may be self depricating, but there are plenty good sportsmen and women in the UK. Oh and I forgot - how did the Olympics go for you then?

Nick Brown, Edinburgh,

Murray is a highly skilled player, but he also acts like an obnoxious, petulant and spoilt yobbo. Players ought to be docked points for such behaviour.

Chris K, Cheltenham, UK

Jose please give me an example of Murray being obnoxious. Just because he swears at himself when he's frustrated does not make him a brat. Are you a Fernando Alonso fan by any chance? there's no sports man who is as much of a brat as him.

L, York,

jose, Murray lives in Spain and has done for years. He learnt how to act there. Next you will be saying Alonso knows something about how to behave as a sportsman.

doug, London,

Henrietta, he's Scottish.

NM, Glasgow, Scotland

Murray is an obnoxious brat, shame you British use him as a sporting role model, he should be sent to Siberia for a couple of weeks. That would soon knock some sense into him

José, Madrid, Spain

Concentrate on the tennis rather than the language, a silly article to write considering the quality we saw from Murray today.

Rob, Newbury, UK

you poms are always moaning about not having good enough sportspeople. Now that you have one, your just trying to bring him down. No pleasing you lot is there?

Armand Tamzarian, Australia,

It makes the guy more interesting, instead of starring at his bland appearance! If he is well mannered he is boring! If he swears he is a poor role model! Media life has to be tough for him!

Dres, London,

Borg was the greatest tennis player and ambassador of the game, no emotion or childish behaviour, just got on with it, win or lose.

Tony, Toronto, Canada

We just don't like winners, do we? It's the same with Lewis Hamilton.

Frank Upton, Solihull,

Murray has proved he does NOT deserve to win. He should be banned from the game by the Lawn Tennis Association.

San Ying, Montreal, Canada

he's a fine role model! how can one insult Murray when our society is based around morally inept footballers?

dave, bristol,

Its just double standards. What is the name of that gordon ramsey cooking (I said cooking) programme that is so popular?

Richard, Penrith,

Who really cares? I only care about the result.

Get over it...

Jamie, London,

At last we get a really good Brit player - what a pity it has to be this one. What a role model!

Henrietta, Reading,

Just an everyday part of British life which marks us out as wonderfully different from other countries!
As Andiio would say...'get a life'

Hope you don't notice my hint of sarcasm

Jazz, Cheltenham, UK

Andiio, did you know that Murray survived the Dunblane school massacre...?

...possibly not the best of analogies to use...

Ben, Winchester, UK

leave him swear. Its only a word. Not as if hes getting out a pistol and shooting the crowd with it.
