British Media and Players Nationality
(Preview)
Have to say, you can help but laugh at the British media and their reporting of British Tennis players. If one of our players wins, its always reported as BRIT player.....etc. But when they lose, their real nationality comes out. Here are a few examples:
Greg Rusedski - Good old Greg. Been at the fore...

Auckland v Tursunov

I don't think Tursunov particularly needs a long introduction He's the world no 22, 4-1 winning record over Henman, reached rd3 of RG and USO and rd4 of Wimby aswell as the final of ATP Los Angeles, semis of Washington and quarters of Queens.
Suffice to say, it's going to be one heck of a ta...

often when the serious underdog alex can put in very good performances and if he can hold his nerve and serve well this match may well be a closer run affair than many p...
