Andy Murray is featured in a September issue of Vogue in a story "Murray Mania" by Vicki Woods.
Here in an excerpt from the story:
"Andy Murray, Britain’s number-one tennis player and perpetual Wimbledon hope, is routinely labeled by the English press as dour, grouchy, grumpy, humorless, miserable, standoffish, prickly, cold. Note: the English press. Murray is British, of course, but he is not English: He’s a Scot, born north of the border, in Caledonia stern and wild. He was a mere gangling eighteen-year-old in 2006, when he deposed Tim Henman as British number one and Roger Federer said, “Watch out for this boy—he’s going to be good.” Murray ended the year as number seventeen in the world rankings, and from that moment on, newspapers ran the same shot of him, over and over: fists clenched, head wrenched back, eyes screwed, mouth open, roaring, like a rutting stag. It is a powerful image—though, on Wimbledon’s green lawns, not exactly strawberries-and-creamy."
