ANDY MURRAY TENNIS ICON
Hot 100 devotees will notice that Sir Andy (seriously, how has that not happened yet?) is a non-mover for the second year running. Last year he occupied this penultimate position both for his victories in the Olympics and the US Open, and for his tearful defeat at Wimbledon,
which showed us a hitherto unseen sensitive side. This year, there were no such tears, but rather roars of approval from all over the country, as Andy triumphed at Wimbledon (the i rst UK male to win the singles since Fred Perry in 1936) and became Britain’s sporting hero. (NB)
