The pursuit of excellent is continuously being shown by Andy Murray.
He may not have won yesterday, but in his own words, he is “getting closer”!!
It didn’t help of course he came up probably the greatest ever player, but he did have Federer on the back foot for some considerable time.
Hopefully, he will get at least one grand slam and hope to see it soon.
It never ceases to amaze me the amount of hate and vitriol he seems to get especially online, when most of it is surely unjustified. I think everyone will agree he showed his “human side” after his tearful speech while accepting his runner up trophy.
Another sporting hero who is getting a hard time at the moment is Bradley Wiggins. You would think that being the first ever British cyclist to be favourite for the tour de france would be a big thing, but apparently not.
The press have turned it into a personal hate and smear campaign against Wiggins, and this time mainly from the french and spanish press. They cannot accept that wiggins is NOT on drugs, and that he MUST be doing something illegal to be such a favourite!
They forget that wiggins won three g0ld medals, and should really have had a fourth gold medal if mark cavendish had shown up on form that day.
Wiggins was also fourth in the tour de france three years ago, was tenth the year after after losing form, and was in great shape last year only to crash out with a broken collarbone.
This year he was won the paris-nice classic, the tour of romandie, the dauphine de libere so i hardly think he has somehow got “lucky” this year!!
Wiggins has shoved two fingers up at his detractors this year, as has murray.
Wiggins will surely be a grand tour champion in perhaps the world’s toughest sporting event, Murray needs one more step.
Time to stay positive and get behind our sporting stars.
