Andy a shoo-in for BBC award

Bookmakers say Andy Murray’s heroics on Centre Court at SW19 mean the Briton is a shoo-in for this year’s BBC Sports Personality of the Year award.

The Scotsman, who finished third at last year’s ceremony following an emotional Wimbledon final defeat to Roger Federer coming weeks before an Olympic gold medal, is all but guaranteed to take the sporting gong, according to bookies.

Paddy Power have Murray at 1/25 to win the SPOTY and have trimmed the odds on the royal couple naming their imminent arrival Andrew from 40/1 to 14/1.
