He's British Legion and he's made it to the quarter finals, that's a legendary acheivement that will be sung of in the tennis halls for generations in our land of crappy tennis players.
Britain is shit at sport and deservedly so. Whilst kids in Europe and American get scholarships, professional coaching and training in all of the major sports and athletic events in the UK our sports days consist of the egg and spoon race, sack racing and other novelty joke events, pancake tossing for example.
We are shit for a reason and quite honestly deserve to be shit. Until our country takes sporting acheivement seriously we will always underachieve and the only British tennis players will be middle/upper class toffs who can afford all the private coaching like Tim Henman and Andrew Murray.
In the uk it is an elitist sport where proper coaching is not available to the masses a situation which I think means we deserve to fail.
