True, but it always felt very awkward to me, even when I considered mens tennis worth watching.

But Legolas is right; watching the Brits annually mope about their Wimbledon drought for years got more uncomfortable the longer it lasted.
For that matter, they still have a Wimbledon drought - yes, Murray won the Olympic gold in that very location, but he hasn't won the tournament itself yet. Though one does get the impression he'll be hard to stop next year.
Which is to say, from the days when Becker, Edberg and Lendl were in their prime until the last days of Sampras and Agassi. Each year the open pity in the voices of commentators as they referenced Britains ongoing Wimbledon drought got a little worse. So I can only hope Murray manages to get it done; I do wonder a bit how the English will feel about it if he does though.

So, I found this video explaining the differences between The UK, Great Britain, England, etc.

Is that why Andy Murray is getting credit for being British? *NM*

Ideally, yes; most likely, no.

They keep saying "the first British man to win a Grand Slam title since 1938"

Mostly that's an indication of just how desperate they were before that happened.

Kind of, but not precisely. It's probably the easiest way to look at it, though. *NM*

Not all Scots dislike being called British. Only the Nationalist ones.

Except that England did, however briefly, conquer and control Scotland.
