This week, as the US Tennis Open gets into full swing, we talk about the sporting phenom Andy Murray. Is he the greatest Scottish Sportsperson of all time? Is he as boring as his reputation says he is? What happened that night with his mum, Sean Connery & Alex Ferguson? All this and more, from you're friendly neighbourhood podcast.

‘Andy Murray: Resurfacing’ makes you appreciate Andy Murray. As he returns to grand slams via the 2020 US Open of Tennis, we think about Shane and the support team, how annoying/amazing he can be on a daily basis, whether his reconditioning specialist was worth the money, and if it’s normal for tennis players to have 5 ex-coaches. A sports documentary work watching. https://www.parttimesport.com
