Willis is a clown: a very talented one but a clown nonetheless. Not serious at all and he won't be going anywhere apart from strutting and fretting his brief hour upon the stage.
Watched Clarke's match yesterday. Very composed and great attitude. A pro before his time, in stark contrast.
Best of 5 marcus wins he's a genius on this surface
ranking 1017 - Dec 2012 117kg
ranking 320 - end 2015. 101kg
ranking 420 - july 2016. 92kg
current I estimate 95kg so arguably at his fighting weight
i believe that marcus best weight is always going to be 90kg + with more activity on tour hopefully post Wimbledon 2017 he will improve his fitness . Marcus is a powerful athlete /tennis player not a cat walk model
As I'm 6ft 1in and 95kg, I can tell there's no way that Marcus is 95kg. I'm not criticising his weight in any way, but given that he's 6ft 3ish he must be around 110kg ish.
The ATP says he's 6 feet 3 inches & 91 kg!
A quote from him in today's Times:
I will go out there and everything I have got. I am very awkward to play when I play well. I am a better player than last year - I'm fitter, I'm faster, I'm moving better. I was still a very good player last year, but Mr Federer tipped me out in the end. I still stick by it. If I hadn't played him, I could have won some more matches.
Come on Jay! And yes I'd much rather have seen him on TV than Marcus because I see him as looking at it as a chance to really launch a career, rather than a diversion for a few weeks every year. He's a great chap, etc, etc but he's not going to inspire the next generation. Jay will.
