Answer 1

I think if you actually read the article, it doesn't sound as malicious as some people are making it out to be.  He is simply pointing out the obvious really.. people that don't have everything going their way have to work harder if they really want something.

Answer 2

I've been saying that for years, except I pretty much thought all the European guys were babies.

Answer 3

It's tennis - it's all about the bitching.

Answer 4

Thanks for the link. I suppose he is right being a British person myself and a tennis player. Many do not posess the hunger or drive players have in poorer countries. Tennis in the UK is a bit posh and many try to keep the game to themselves. We do have the conditions and the potential. England mainly concentrates on doubles at club level so not many singels players can play. At my club we play doubles every week but have 1 singles event a year.

Answer 5

Well in my opinion I think he is right and he's just saying his own opinion. Nobody shuld be getting mad @ anybody's opinion. It may not even be true but I am on his side for that. Compared to Serbia you really had to work hard. So I think it's fine what he said !!!!

Hope I help !!

Answer 6

Djoker is really asking for it now.

First the wimpy retirement against Federer citing a ludicrous dizzy spell and now this!!!!

Next thing you know he will be pointing towards legends and having a go at them. He needs to hire a nice PR team so they can watch each step he takes or control his mouth or just grow up.
