As was that guy who Harry Redknapp found out was living in a caravan somewhere.

A Russian winner in the ladies final and Putin will be ecstatic.

How did that one slip through the Wimbledon net?

I think the lass anticipated the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2019 and fucked off to Kazakhstan but still maintained residence in Moscow. Border Control should have asked to see her 'passports'. Yes, Miss, the Russian one as well!

Regarding the 'inspiration' thing.......Norrie will struggle to be a proper fans favourite,as he is just boring and seriously lacking in charisma.

For some reason, people really obsess over the personalities of Tennis players - why does it matter so much ?
They’re there to win - not be comedians

Happens in all sports, albeit nothing to do with comedy.

Look at Gazza, Flintoff etc. The flawed genius.

Kyrgios is an utter **** on and off the court.

Yeah, really tough watch tomorrow (to the point I may not even bother).

Dislike both but Kyrgios seems particularly unpleasant.

Although born in Russia she moved to Kazakhstan as they invest more in that particular sport and have a better training facility. In doing so, she agreed to represent them on the international stage.

Still resident in Moscow I am led to believe.

Sarcasm noted....but both of the above displayed much more in terms of aggression and passion,and that always shone through in interview.

Is the same Tim Henman who got himself disqualified from Wimbledon in 1995 for hitting a ball which hit a ball girl?
In the Open era that has only happened twice, once to Henman (Bates was his doubles partner so he obviously got chucked out too) and Jeff Tarango for verbals.
