FROM THE EDITOR
WHEN YOU GO to the opera you know it ain’t over til the fat lady sings. In the theatre, the audience knows it’s not going to end well for young Romeo or Juliet. Even at a Hollywood movie there’s a formulaic inevitability that sees the bad guys defeated, the good guys victorious and the romantic leads back in each other’s arms.
Not so with sport. There’s no script. Any match could potentially become a showstopper. The underdog can win, the favourites can fail, careers can end and legends can begin.
