Another article from Dan's local paper following his success in Turkey:

http://sportsecho.co.uk/other_sports/tennis/news_and_reports/displayarticle.php?ID=6945

'But it almost went wrong for Cox in the second round until he showed the fighting spirit which has been evident in recent weeks.

"I was nearly down and out" he said.

"I was one set down and losing 4-1 in the second set and the score was 40-15 on his serve.

"I wasn't playing particularly well, but I just dug deep and started to make my shots.

"I never lost another game and won the final set 6-0."


So, from 3-6, 1-4* down against Paukku he won the next 23 games over two matches! shocked.gif Some impressive mental strength there from Dan, sounds as if if he's really got his tail up at the moment.

"Legend" is the word that easily comes to ones mind.

Legend is prob the most over-used term in british culture.
'oh look at my mate, he drank 10 pints and then got home ok on saturday, he's a legend'

No a true legend and the term should be saved for a select few like nelson mandela, people who actually warrrant it, reaching a futures final/semi is not quite deserved of the word.
that is not stuff of legends, people wont be telling there grandkids in 50 years time 'do you remember when cox reched reached that semi in turkey, that was legendary'.

Jess,

the term 'legend' has been debated several times here over the last few months with Arka knowing that it has caused a bit of a 'stir' !!!

like you he likes a wind up LOL !!!
