You don’t mean the tennis player that sounded like his dog had Just died when he was interviewed after winning the US Open do you ?
He said in the press conference “I’m really happy inside, I’m sorry if I’m not showing it as you would like me to.” after joking and laughing about the fact that him and lendl don’t smile much.
He’s reserved and dry sense of humour, some people say it’s dour, but so what? He’s polite and professional, and obviousl y has hidden depths of emotions that come out at times.
Imagine being taken to task on a daily basis about whether you laugh enough or not, when that has absolutely no bearing on your ability to do your job.
I wish the bbc would drop the personality thing and just call it sports person of the year, so we can drop all this rubbish about balancing sporting achievement with how popular/nice/funny the person is.
I’m torn, as a cyclist and tdf fan, wiggo, as a scot and general sports fan, murray. Will be delighted with either. Their acheivements this year stand out marginally more for me than all the others in an absolutely incredible year.
