I thought it was interesting listening to one of Andy's interviews (not sure which one but I think it was sound only) when he said that he would be prepared to bet his winnings from Cincinatti that Fed, Rafa and Novak would all be fully fit and recovered for the US Open.
He's not kidding himself, and he's not letting anyone think that it could be an easier ride for him.

Having said that.....I've got a feeling it could happen this year

ESPN - Stealing Murray's thunder
http://www.espn.co.uk/tennis/sport/story/107186.html
"The last time Murray flew to New York with the Cincinnati title in his hand luggage, he went on to reach his first grand slam final, falling to Federer at Flushing Meadows. Murray described last week as the "perfect preparation" for the US Open, and he will hope he can translate his successes on the hard court in Ohio to grand slam glory in New York."

I thinks its going to get extremely busy with the US Open coming up. The week before grand slams is often a time to get interesting articles.

Love your avatar Lynne

Raelly missed this thread. Thanks to all the posters - Cazza most of all.

Are people aware that there's a link button in the post a reply box?

If you click that and place in the url, you can then enter a click-able label/title for links instead of seeing the whole url

I couldn't get that to work.

In what way?

I had a little play with it and it seemed to work ok.

Click the button that says 'link', the full URL goes in the top box, the title/description in the bottom one.

There's also a button for embedding videos, which could be useful

Thanks Cazza....as always.

It does appear to work cazza.

Aaaah. I'd been highlighting the text to link (like in VB) and not putting it in second box - :dimbo:

Thanks Drewziph

Thanks to everyone for their input on this thread.

Yes, we should all be set with the links now!
