Just playing one match in the Wimbledon Championships­ means the world to The Brit youngsters whose parents,­ friends and fellow countrymen support Wimbledon, even­ sacrifice to keep it going. Why shouldn't they get­ the same chance that the French youngsters get at­ Roland Garros? Or, that all the others get at the­ events in their countries? Just because Wimbledon is­ the symbol of tennis around the world does not means­ that their own kids should not have their little bit of­ time in the sun? Some of you guys either don't know­ the history of tennis or don't care and just want­ your "little piggy" appetites fed your top­ players to salavate over or demean--depending on­ whether you liove-hate Fed, Rafa, or Andy. Loosen up,­ lose your hate, watch a movies, be happy that Wimbledon­ is coming. Don't think about tradition or the Brit­ Brats. Enjoy!

I totally agreed with Janice M, mysteriously these­ british players only surfaced in Wimbledon where they­ are given wild card by the host country but could not­ fight it out in the qualifying rounds. Maybe they are­ not good enough.

Just compare the British players and­ with Slovenia for e.g. Except for A. Murray and Anne­ Kheatavong, practically you will raise your eyebrows­ who is the 2nd best player ( male / female ) in your­ queendom.

Its time for wake up call, the association,­ union or whoever they might be.

I can't stand these englsih players, they only show­ up come wimbledon time because they get a lucky break­ yet year after year they do nothing with it, eating up­ money not taking the great faith the LTa has in them­ and making us proud, take away that dame lottery they­ bloody get and make them earn it. This girl may get to­ the main draw but watch her go out 1st or 2nd round­ along with all the other Brits, Sad, when we see­ nations that don't have the facilites we have or­ the money we have yet they make it purely because of­ drive and working hard. Every year it s the same thing­ come normal tournaments they are nowhere but Wimbledon­ they surface what for if they only come the lose.

I think you are on the wrong blog mate. Eurosport is­ for sports fans, not people looking for a hook-up.
