Sportsman or winner?

Why can I not get enthused by Andy Murray? Here we have a genuine contender for tennis's highest prize, and yet I can't work up any real interest in him. Is it because he's an in-your-face Scot, or because he belongs to the punch the air, shout and pull silly faces school of playing? How unlike Tim Henman who I used to root for. Which brings me to the rather uncomfortable conclusion that perhaps I'd rather have a gentleman player who loses with good grace, than a raucous snarling winner. Hm....
