Please do not knock my all-time tennis hero, however! How very dare you?

To quote the great man himself - "Everybody loves success, but they hate successful people."

One of the games greatest characters and still a damn good player!
Never like Johnnie boy when he was playing, but quite like him now he's in the commentators box, speaks with a lot of knowledge about the game

Don't know what odds they're giving on the match but I know who I'm backing to win!

Only one more to go...
Well I watched the men's doubles final last night, was a great game and at least a brit won Marray and Neilson were superb, but you have to feel sorry for their opponents that's the 3rd year on the trot they've been runners up, sad

I hate Tennis.......I don't care who wins. It is all a load of balls. I'm dreading the Olympics......and all that sport.
