1. I think Sabloff missed the sarcasm in Burkeman's piece

By stopping quoting at "He's a British version", he missed the important bit: "he is the new Tim Henman". Henman is the English tennis player who some people got very excited about, each time Wimbledon came around, and he made it to the semi-finals 2 or 3 times, but never any further. But he was still the most successful male tennis player Britain had produced for 60 years. But that's quite British - to get excited about not actually succeeding.
