2131 - A sporting chance?

Why do we bother to cheer Brit sportsmen?
Andy Murray - Scottish, of course, to Scots -
Is currently struggling at Wimbledon
To get to the final. We're seeing lots
Of valiant effort, many superb shots
But even if he wins this match, the prize
Is a final with Federer... he's got
To raise his game almost up to the skies
To have a hope there. We should be more wise
And, as with football, low expectation
Of actually winning the major pots
Is rational. In golf, though our men rise
Through world rankings, how often do they win
A major? The answer's that they do not...
