Eva Kovacs Says:
Dear Roger; I was really upset about your draw at Dubai. It was manifestly
unfair, after your illness and being away from the game to face the Murray
kid who has been going strong. What's wrong with the ATP?
As your fan, and as a tennis fan, I also want to say how unethical and
disturbing I find the constant media seeking by the #3 player, whether in
press conferences, or loud asides to the media: and in similar fashion
despised his comments about Murray's win. To me, it means nothing, since
played Roger only two times when he won, and at other times, Murray did not
even get to the point. But the #3 player wants to not only play with his
racquet, but with his mouth, too. I thought he and his camp had enough bad
press after the AO and the American Enbassy incident. Not to mention "the
king is dead. Long life the (new) king!" remark made by his doting mother.
And the ruckus and upset they caused in the stadium. These people should
not be around the game with these kind of displays.
No matter what they say, because surely the commentators and media love
to pick up and repeat and enlarge on such things, worldwide many people
know that Roger is very far away from slipping. He will go on with even
more determination and cool approach that disdains to lower himelf to that
level. The temnnis world owes a lot to Roger, and they should remember it.

He is the greatest sportsman of all time. He is not from this earth, what
he does on and off the court is just out of world.
Every human being should have him as hero.
