Ah, so your post about heroes and boys isn't a diatribe, but mine is?
Some of the best aspects of sport are the stories behind the scenes. After all, all they are doing is hitting a ball across the net; it is the story of their unique journey that is way more interesting.
Nadal is a boy (who cares anyways, what is the point of debating about the definition of a boy?) to me, who started very very young at a very high level and has already won 5 slams, that is legend status in Tennis, he is only 3 shy of Agassi already. And I said going for the record, did I say break it? Again, pointless either way.
Your post was a bunch of pointless semantics.
I watch the tennis for the tennis, for stories, I watch documentaries. The only reason the Dokic story is being given so much credit, is because she is now an 'Aussie' again. They bood her as a young girl who really didn't know what was going on, now she is a national hero!
Gotta love the media and the sheeple!
Anyways, lets get back to the Tennis, Murray lost, surprising! Personally, I don't rate him as highly as some, just doesn't overly impress me. Tsonga just beat Blake, pretty expected, think he will see Nadal in the semi. Djok V an in form Roddick, may be a close one, while will be interesting to see Fed play Potro, who is only 20 and already in the top 10, impressive! Haven't seen much of him, so will be great to see how he matches up against Fed.
