    He really is bad. Don't know how he manages to stay in the top 10 of the world. Suppose he gets to alot of q/f and semi's then bottles it !!!!

    Glad he's out, but then again I can't stand tennis, as it is a sport filled with over priviledged children climbing the ranks then becoming 'professionals' as adults. Even that weak chinned 'Rupert' Jeremy Bates, that got all the gormless forelock tugging idiots cheering at Wimbledon before Henman, made a few million. And what the F did he do?

    That post is without a doubt the biggest crock of shít I've ever read.

    "over priveleged"-Bollócks. I know many people who play tennis at my school to a high level who are from from 'over priveleged'. I doubt you even know anyone who plays tennis.

    If you can't stand it, why are you 'glad he's out'.

    Look out your window mate, at the real world, not this stereotypical one you appear to exist in. As I'm Irish, I'm just off to wear green and make tea and say prayers, etc.

    Eh? What are you on? Of course anyone can play, but if you look at the players at the top of the game, they usually tend to come from fairly well off backgrounds/families. Most 'normal' people cant afford to struggle around for a few years, even if they have played for many years at school. It takes financial backing, and that is usually from mummy and daddy.
    Many tennis clubs around this part of the world, but again it doesnt just take time, dedication and talent, it takes some serious financial backing from the families. How many people have that opportunity?

    That doesn't necessarily mean the parents are well-off. Look at Maria Sharapova, living in relative poverty in Nyagan, Siberia, but was lucky to get spotted and trained in America. Her Dad had to work his árse off to pay for it, and i think it was part-subsidised.

    You made a wrong, poorly-phrased sweeping generalisation which clearly is not true.

    Tennis is what the foxhunting fraternity do during the summer. FACT.
    If you attack me with stupidity, I'll be forced to defend myself with sarcasm.
