So, pray, how with a phone vote, did they know that Andy Murray would win to the point that they have Lennox Lewis there in Florida to present the main award to him??? Or do they have several trophies prepared?

I'm often amazed by who does win but I'm not sure what's worse the public or the "experts" - In this case I think a panel would have gone to someone else simply because Murray won it 2 years ago. Of course fishing is a sport, ask Robson Green!
The best definition of the difference between a sport and a pastime I've ever seen is: "One can smoke during a pastime activity, but not during a sporting one."
Even if you're a non-smoker, as I am, it's easy to see what is meant. So, golf, snooker etc are pastimes, while rugby, tennis etc are sports.

Tennis is definitely out then.

a show like this nicely showcases the year's sporting achievements in the uk and elsewhere. beyond that, the awarding of a "personality" prize is just entertainment; the BBC isn't bound by anything - let alone the law - in respecting any public vote it may or may not encourage, particularly if the public vote isn't as entertaining as their own choice.
Not that it overly matters, but the only time Murray hasn't won the award in the last four years was two years ago. He won in 2013 (First Wimbledon) and 2015 (Davis Cup), but *not* two years ago in 2014.
Anyway, I figure that Olympic Gold, a second Wimbledon, undefeated in 24 matches at years-end, and current world #1 makes him a very worthy third-time winner. I too, though, was rather hoping that it might be someone else's turn, eg Nick Skelton or Luara Kenny.
