If Murray wins Wimbledon...

... they should make a film of his career to date, starring Tom Cruise.

Andy is a tennis player, he's a pretty good tennis player, until he hits a crisis of confidence.

But then he meets a beautiful girl who talks him into being a better tennis player, he then becomes the best tennis player ever.

What do you think? A viable Hollywood pitch?

Dependant on your point of view, for some it would be a bit like "How the Grinch Stole Christmas"

... starring Robin Williams! I like it Barry, let's go and pitch it to the Weinsteins!

If Murray wins Wimbledon he will be brought before the Queen for a sword on each shoulder.

It is my fear of him winning it. All the media attention and hype. I would want him to win it, have a quiet celebration and then take the US Hardcourt season by storm.

But I see more of film being made almost immediately.

Though Paul Bettany won Wimbledon

Tom Cruise? I was thinking Robert Pattinson (the Twilight bloke).

He gets accused of never smiling too!

The real question is who plays Judy? Will they just throw in one of the Gremlins to play her part?

Ah but pretty sure Tom Cruise has a patent on that particular plot though so there could be legal wrangles.

Wilfrid Bramble to play Murray's on-court persona I think

If Harry H. Corbett comes as part of the package we need to think of how to work Roy Hodgson into the plot of Andy's win (you know him watching England vs. Italy willing England to lose and all that...).

If there's grass on the court, play on…

You have to read the synopsis Danny! Andy meets a beautiful woman who turns him into a great tennis player.

We can't have him meeting a middle aged dude - the love scenes would get banned in the states.

sorry but the guy who played the Emperor in Gladiator and Jonny Cash in \Walk the Line has to be federer. Dead ringer.

And to play Andy Murray? Well I guess Jamie Murray isn#t too busy nowadays.
