I just read that if Andy Murray wins his next match he will become number one in the world. I’m 52 and, for the vast majority of that time, the idea that the world’s best tennis player might be British (let alone a slightly chippy lad from Dunblane*) was simply laughable. He has his detractors but surely it’s now time that Murray should get the acclaim he deserves in his home country.
