I ran into a couple (husband and wife) on the beach today. they had a bit of an accent so I quickly asked them if they were from united kingdom.
they said they were from around south Hampton (united kingdom).
you can just imagine my next question: I asked them if they followed andy murray.
they said they were devoted fans of andy murray.
there is an Englishman here that is a teaching pro at a local tennis club. he has andy's posters all over his pro shop but his most favorite player is roger Federer.
Oh that's very nice to hear. But I'd like Andy to have lots of international fans not just Brit fans. That would motivate Andy more but people don't really notice anyone until you have big results, quite unfortunately. And those are fans of tennis they too go for the same thing so it's not wonder that most of current fans are either Federer fans or Nadal fans. Of course there are exceptions as well.
