As I can recall he was quite outspoken when he first made a name for himself as a border line adolescent, which he got slammed for, so I dont blame him for being a bit tight lipped nowadays. Not everyone is blessed with the ability to act cool in the spotlight, bottom line , he's a proven world No 1 who has, and will continue to give Australians someone to be proud of in the worlds sporting arena. WGAF what noises he makes on the tennis court or whether he doesn't perform in front of a reporter, he's a tennis player and a very good one at that.......Good on him I say ................but then again I was a huge Mc Enroe fan so I guess I could carelesss about having the right attitude or politicall correctness. One thing I will say..........for him to perform as well as he has so soon after being dumped on the international stage, reflects his strength of character and will to succeed, ...........surely this is more important than whether we think he's a good bloke or not!.
