It shows that unlike others I am not besotted with him b/c he has an Australian passport.
Its not just Aussies who love the guy MG, just stroll onto any tennis chat site or attend any overseas tournaments and you'll see how much tennis fans all around the world adore him for his game and skill. They dont do this because he simply has an Australian passport.
Others praise him like Sheedy praises teams Essendon defeats. It makes their victory over the Dud more laudable if you say you defeated a good opponent rather than tell the truth.
yes, that happens, but you cant continually heep praise on him if he's a dud in the first place or if you do so you'll soon lose your credibility. i've heard and read many interviews from players praising him even when they havent just played him
He has never ben consistent. He never will be. Believe the bull.shit he espoused after the game. That it all it was.
Its a bit hard to be consistent when every time he starts to look consistent he is cut down by something beyond his control!
Ask his coaches (you know, the guys he continually fires) what they think of him.
Well Peter McNamara, the man who's coached him since the beginning still regards him as a champion player, Pat Cash said today that although they have had issues with things (who hasnt with pat) the scud is unstoppable at his best, I cant say i've spoken to gavin hopper recently, although to give up coaching a player you've just got to number 3 in the world and also to give up coaching seles to coach the scud shows that the boy can obviously play. His dad still believes in him obviously. The Davis Cup captains / coaches are fully behind the guy. Roche and other Aussie legends have had the occasional issues blown out of proportion, however all still believe in the guy and were there giving him advice and encouragement this wimbledon. I cant think of any other coach off hand. None of them seem to suggest he is a hack or "dud" as has been put here.
The Scud is a Dud. He has done nothing to reverse that opinion. Show me a Grand Slam singles title and I'll shut up.
You are hard to impress, and obviously things like Davis Cup and other compitions where you represent your country mean much less to you than you have been making on about in previous posts. I also think you'll be shutting up sooner than you realise
That is not to say he cant make good money on the tennis circuit being a dud. Andrew Illie is still playing isnt he?
Whats this comment mean? Yes you can make good money without winning grand slams but whats this got to do with Mark? Money has nothing to do with whether he is a dud or not.
