Following his expulsion from Wimbledon at the hands of American Andy Roddick, Scotsman Andy Murray said he won't let it ruin his year, especially when it comes to Hogmanay, as, being a true Scotsman he'll make the most of the only night of the year he can let himself go and down a few Scotches.
Losing in four sets, the Scotsman said that one of the truly disappointing aspects of bowing out was the fact that he would no longer be referred to as 'Brit' Andy Murray. However, he would learn to cope until the next Wimbledon or his first Grand Slam victory, whichever came first, when he would, of course, become British again, if only for one Sports Personality of the Year Award night.
He joins fellow Scottish superstars who are sometimes British, David Weir and Chris Hoy, in happily representing the whole nation when there is a World Championship or Olympic title at stake, but reserved the right to support any nation other than England when it came to football.

...and speaking of tennis..a sport where 'love' means nothing at all..my sources have indicated to me that Greg Rusedski (sometimes British, sometimes Canadian) is apparently contemplating coming out of retirement and become, once again, a Canadian tennis player.
"New balls please"..
My inside sources tell me that Roger Federer has an English auntie on his great great great great grandmother's side, so fingers crossed, eh!
