Didnt quite rise to what was expected, not a bad tennis player though in all fairness. But then again, when you advertise Robinsons squash, what do you expect? I mean c'mon, the sick bastard...

Looking at his career objectively it's pretty impressive. Emotionally, it would have been good if he'd won Wimbledon at some point, but it's a great career anyway.

For someone as lightly built as he is competing against man mountains I think he did rather well. After all at Wimbledon he always lost in the semi's to Pete Sampras or the eventual winner of the tournament.

A good record really considering the players around at the same time.

10 ATP Tour titles, 2 Challenger Titles and an ATP Masters Title.

His chance was when goran won it in '01, he would have beaten rafter in the final i reckon. If it wasn't for the sodding rain etc etc!


Any loss?

yeah actually! One of the last natural serve volleyers, i'll miss him managing to sneak those balls blasted 500mph at his feet over the net every point

He got a lot of grief, but he as actually a really good tennis player. He just looked funny, and Wimbledon was the thorn in his side. Many Brits see only Wimbledon when it comes to tennis, and judge him solely on that.
