Federer only has fans here because he won Wimbledon many times. Thats for sure!
Andys case.. since he is scottish he is used to the people here and how they are.
I am not british and I have liked Andy better than many brits here.
People wants to be posh or something, I don't know. I don't know the culture perfectly well yet.
But I was at wimbledon tennis some days this year, and all the people I met talked about Andy. Forgot that Federer had lost the 2 round.
Did you see the BBC documentary about Andy? so good! Andy must be the smartest and funniest sportsman in Britain.
I think the Brits just worship successful people. If Federer wasn't so successful then do you think he would have such a big fanbase anywhere? I doubt it.
I never had any problems liking Andy. He seemed nice and extremely grounded from the start. It's a shame that he had to do all the hard word and take all those criticism just to be liked. And now that he has Wimbledon, suddenly he's the golden child. It's kind of pathetic on their part if you ask me.
