I’m still not signing up to the hysteria. Okay, so Andy’s in the semi, but the guy he’s playing just beat Nadal. Okay, so it’s now possible for him to  win the thing without having to play either of the top two. But he won’t, not just because he’s a British tennis player, bearing a burden of history that’s just too great, but because he’s Scottish, a member of a nation whose destiny is always to piss in the soup. (A Chris Hoy only happens once in a century.)

Best keep low expectations and be magnificently surprised than build up one’s hopes and have them dashed.
