Andy's confidence is down to bullying midgets on the practice courts.
He is dull though isn’t he. Andy Murray. Our best shot at a Wimbledon Single's Champion since 1936 when Fred Perry won. Fred Perry is the guy who was the inspiration for clothing now paraded up and down council estates under hoodies. Which kid nowadays would feel pimped wearing a Murray polo shirt?!
Andy's also a little bit lame thanks to lackluster 'Tiger' Tim Henman who’s evidentially schooled him in the subdued ‘come on’ with obligatory fist clench – bore off! He’s increased his confidence, attacks the ball more and is as fit as a butcher’s dog but still no passion! I want a brutal, exposed and enthused player… a ‘you can return my serve but you’ll never take my freedom!’ type affair. So in that respect, I hope the boring Scot loses!
Ok, I'm being a little unfair. There is a little bit of me which does hope he wins because I’d like to see what happens to the general population… every year the forgotten courts and bedraggled nets which the local councils barely maintain for the sole purpose of two weeks terrible tennis in the summer actually come alive! But what would happen if he won, would it reach into a third week – shock horror. The Daily Mail would probably blame swine flu. Meanwhile sales of Iron Bru take off making the girder industry boom and Rab C Nesbitt, the notable girder maker, the world's richest man in a string vest. So come on Andy, do it, beat them all, it'll be well funny! Not that you’d appreciate funny, you’re too busy being boring.
