Message: Hey Dmitry, your blog is wonderful and makes me always smile =). So yes I missed you and would like you to post blogs :). Tell us something about the table manners of your colleagues. All the best!!!

Answer: Tim Henman always has afternoon tea. Even during his match he’ll have tea and strawberries with cream. In fact, he is one of the very few players who is given two “injury” time-outs plus a “tea” time-out in case the match time interferes with his “tea time”.

When he eats in a restaurant he needs to have a cloth napkin, a waiter and a full set of silverware. God forbid if the utensils are plastic! He especially gets annoyed when Andy Murray shows up with a bag pipe and a kilt from the “Fred Perry” Rainy-Summer Collection and tries to recruit him for Davis Cup in the middle of a ravishing meal.

Then there is P-Diddy (Paradorn Srichaphan)! It doesn’t matter at which tournament you run into him, if you ask where he is going to have dinner he will answer, “Oh, I’ll probably eat Thai!” To be honest I’ve never seen him eat anything else, so I assume that that is all he eats. He also LOVES “Tabasco” sauce! He will sell his soul to the devil for a bottle of that stuff! He actually travels with it and takes it to every restaurant along with his buddy Yim-Yim, whom he packs into check-in luggage along with the bottle. They could be sitting at a restaurant chowing down on a marinated dog with coconut, both of them sweating from the sauce with the biggest smiles on their faces. Yim-Yim is actually a very mellow dude but when he sees “Tabasco” he transforms into a monster that will tear your arms off to get to it. Kinda disturbing, if you ask me!
