In keeping with the flight of the Conchords reference, I would dearly love for Mahela to take attendance and say at least once “Malinga – Prisint”

I don’t understand seriousness or money.

Is the amount of seriousness proportional to the amount of megabucks?

In reply to SAM. When people are in it for the money, it tends to become pretty serious.

Watched the first two episodes last night. They all take it much more seriously than I had expected. I thought it was a knockabout tournament with everyone just in it for the money.

We’re way off topic here, n, but I am still enjoying the thought of you looking up tennis highlights and finding Conchords highlights instead.

In reply to n. yeah, I now actually have no idea why I was searching for it in the first place. Thanks for the highlights though. Murray (Andy)'s game is barely recognizable.

Curiosity got the better of me just now, n, as I wondered how many times Andy Murray had played Lleyton Hewitt at singles…

…answer – just the once…

…then dug out the highlights reel – just in case you didn’t find it:

Frankly, the Murray Hewitt highlights reel is more entertaining and I say that as an avid tennis fan.

In reply to n.

Murray Hewitt? – present.
n? – present.
Andy Murray? – absent.
Lleyton Hewitt? – absent.

That’s very funny, n, thanks for sharing.

In reply to Ged.

I found this when I was looking for highlights of a Lleyton Hewitt – Andy Murray match, seriously. I mean I knew the show but I didn’t know his name.

..End of story.
