Are you saying Murray is so engaging he should win an award for his personality?
Thought not.

Andy Murray
Andi Murri
Name
A person with no personality. Dour. Miserable. Speaks in low monotones. Prone to outbursts. Makes dishwater seem interesting. 😀

Did Faldo win the 'personality' contest ?
So long go I cannot remember.

If you knew Scots then you wouldn't be surprised by his general demeanor around his ability and success
Your perception of his demeanor is not inconsistent with the definitions of 'personality'. If you don't like him then fine. But you can't say he's not a 'personality' in accordance with the definition of that word - well you can - but you'd be wrong.

Ah now, I didn't say I didn't like him and I didn't say he wasn't a personality. I just said he didn't have any personality 😀 Which is probably more in line with your point about demeanour and the use of the word personality in that sense. And this just goes to prove how unerringly accurate the post about how many forumers does it take to change a lightbulb really is 😀.If you knew Scots then you wouldn't be surprised by his general demeanor around his ability and success

To continue that theme....
You have confused which of the 2 meanings of 'personality' the program was about!
As you posted, Andy Murray undoubtably IS a personality (definition 2 of SILH's post above - the celebrity), but (arguably) has little personality (definition 1 of SILH's post above - the attribute)!
The program/award was for definition 2!

On the personality front he possibly has as much humility and self-deprecation you'd ever wish a champion to have.

With such an ambiguous award title, how do you know? 😀To continue that theme....

Oh I agree! I'm actually a huge fan and always have been - even when he was a talented skinny runt with little experience of handling the Press, which led to one memorable faux-pas!
I'm also a great fan of Judy Murray and her approach to the LTA after Jamie had something of a disastrous experience at their hands!

Don't fret love, we Scots all know what you really mean.

My Dumfries born neighbour advises that Murray appears to be following the well worn path adopted by many born north of the wall... And, I am perfectly sure you know what I mean also...
As an avid watcher of tennis I believe Andy fully deserves all the accolades... It can be hard work watching him but I suppose that's all part and parcel of what makes him the player he is...

Is this a Scottish thing? If so, you will have to enlighten me.
