I find it hard to like tennis because lets face it apart from the odd agassi or rafter tennis players are mostly boring whinging millionares.

Which is a worry, because that's a fair thumbnail of most sportsmen these days as far as I can see.

I seem to remeber a young girl about 10, the same age as me a few years ago called Jade Hopper who was the best in the world for her age and was beating older girls hands down. Trained by her father I think.
We have heard nothing of this kid since.! WHY.?? She was a skinny blonde kid with great movement around the court and they thought she was the next Aussie Wimbledon winner perhaps even younger than Hingis was when she won.
Did she die or something. She was our great hope for at least the womens side of the game.
