It's interesting to contrast Tomic with the attitude of Sharapova who has been playing with a hip injury for eight months!
Tomic pulls the pin a few seconds in under oppressive conditions against an opponent he can't beat, with a condition he finds out about days later after the crap hits the media fan. Is that a good description?
William's blames a back injury after her "shock loss", holding back tears and sitting there like she "Can't believe she is sitting there!"
Sharapova enters the tournament with known hip and shoulder injuries. Makes it through several rounds some in the 40 degree heat, and then vows after her loss to come back better than ever. Where do we find some more players like that instead of the Prima Donna's we are lumped with at the moment!
Good call, Sharapova's just a class act (apart from the screeching !). Speaking of class acts, Roger blew Tsonga off the court last night. Looked very, very good. But what sort of a horror draw has he got !
cheers
