    He reached semifinals at Roland Garros last year. I like watching him just to see the English crowd go crazy.

    honestly he is a decent player, he isn't brilliant and thats the reason he never has broken the quarter finals, you have to be good to win wimbledon, decent simply doesn't cut it.
    thanks,

    He has got to the Semi's before hasn't he? Maybe my mind is deceiving me.

    Anyway, I totally agree with you EA.

    What do we care anyway, he is doing it for personal fame and fortune, not for the country.
    GARCIN: I "dreamt," you say. It was no dream. When I chose the hardest path, I made my choice deliberately. A man is what he wills himself to be.
    INEZ: Prove it. Prove it was no dream. It's what one does, and nothing else, that shows the stuff one's made of.
    GARCIN: I died too soon. I wasn't allowed time to - to do my deeds.
    INEZ: One always dies too soon - or too late. And yet one's whole life is complete at that moment, with a line drawn neatly under it, ready for the summing up. You are - your life, and nothing else.

    Lawn tennis was invented in the late 1800's ,catering for the social set who were 'oh so bored' of croquet,hence Wimbledon,Fred Perry,blah,blah.Then inevitably Jonny Foreigner comes along and ruins everything by booting our apathetic sporting butts out of the show.Cricket,Rugby,Soccer...you can almost hear the collective cry of,'Come on chaps be reasonable,it's our game,start letting us win!'
    Let's face it gents the only home grown 'sports'we're any good at are pub games,darts and snooker,stick a pint in our mitts and we rule
    I'm up for resurrecting international shove ha'penny...who's with me?

    Next time we invent a game there should be a rule where "No foreigners are allowed to play".
