Can't do links on my phone, but I saw it on the Sky tennis page on my phone.

Maybe copy it over, because the sky pda links change stories the whole time, i.e. that link will be to a different story soon.

Former British Davis Cup player and Sky Sports pundit Barry Cowan answered an Andy Murray SOS to warm up the British No 1 for his quarter-final against Rafael Nadal.
Cowan, famous for taking Pete Sampras to five sets at Wimbledon in 2001, was asked to replicate Nadal's serving after being phoned by Murray's coach Miles Maclagan halfway through an hour-and-a-half practice session in near 80 degrees close to Wimbledon.
Cowan said: "I had a call from Miles, who I've known for 19 years, at two o'clock. He said 'do you fancy hitting some serves for 20 minutes?' and I was glad to be of help and I think I was.
"Rafa has a much-improved serve in the last two years, he's added 20mph to it. He has the typical left-hander's serve which slides out wide to Andy's backhand. But he has also added the one down the middle to the forehand which is Andy's weaker wing on the return. He was looking to be aggressive with that return."
Cowan added he thought Murray has a chance on grass against the undisputed king of clay court tennis.
He said: "Nadal is favourite, no doubt, he has all the pedigree, two finals here at Wimbledon and number two player in the world. "But the way Andy is playing and with the crowd behind him there's no reason why Andy can't cause an upset."

Article on Sky's website about Barry Cowan helping Murray today!
How could Bazza help him? By spouting sh*te and humouring, therefore relaxing Andy?

Could be anger management - Cowan stands at the side of the court giving commentary of Andy's practise sessions.

Or it could be a picture of his face on the wall as a dartboard to improve accuracy.

Give Barry credit. He didn't mention his five set loss to Sampras in these interviews.
Actually, I've always thought he seems quite a nice guy on TV.

I've not really seen anyone suggest that he isn't a ncie guy but that doesn't stop people hating him. Greg is probably a nice guy but it seems he really drives people crazy with his commentary
