Ken as you have opted to join the chorus of disapproval at my remarks I find it it sad that you, with others, feel the need to assert that I don't understand sport and it's concepts just because I disagree with you.
I played Basketball for ten years in a local team, was a young gymnast, played table tennis
to a good level and was for years a seeded player in the British Carromm association, coming fifth in the last all England final that I played in.
This, of course has nothing to do with yesterdays game, I do not dispute the skill of the players, but a defensive game won on who can serve the most aces makes for Boring, Boring tennis and this game was disappointing in the extreme.
PS.
I neither know or care why Sampras Turned up late.
"Yes but sadly for Mike the days of Fred Perry v Mr Chumley Warner are long passed."
As long as the likes of Lleyton Hewitt is around we will still see some good passionate
tennis games.
