over-hyped, of course. but that's part of the problem.

(and hardly his fault.)

there's not many major sports where we've had someone consistently in the top ten in the world. Compare it to golf for example - I doubt we've got any there at the moment. And yet all our golfers don't get consistently slagged for not being number 1.

His problem is that there's basically been no-one else anywhere near as good, or for years beforehand. Again, not a reflection on him - just on our crap tennis system.
