"Tennis was a lot more interesting a few years back when it wasn't just a case of the players whacking the ball across the net at a million miles an hour. McEnroe was a great player but as good as a lot of the men were it was the women who were the most fun to watch. Martina and Stephi are the obvious names (and watching them play doubles was fantastic. No-one else had a ghost of a chance) but women like Virginia Wade were almost as good. They actually played interesting tennis with volleys and stuff rather than just going for the straight aces. That's what made them fun. There are a couple of female players like that still, but not many. Oh, and Anna Kournikova is the most over-rated tedious tennis player the world has ever seen. Yik.
I bet she doesn't even drink decent tea."
