Gael Monfils: One Amazing Athlete

Is anyone else out there getting sick of the McEnroe's pimping and pampering American players--Andy Roddick, being the prime example, at the U.S Open.  We can only imagine the treatment Djokavich or anyone else would have gotten from the homer McEnroe's if they had pulled the bush league tantrum Roddick threw at the open. Thank goodness Mary Carillo had the guts to call Roddick out for his behavior. Roddick and the McEnroe's illustrate everything that is wrong with American tennis. The players are overrated and when it comes to crunch time, their best performances aren't good enough and their worst performances reflect the spoiled punk mentality that must go hand-in-hand with their inability to win grand slams.

Contrast , for example, John McEnroe's glossing over or Roddick's emotional and match failures with his caustic, belittling of Feliciano Lopez, during the Nadal match on tuesday night and you can see just how skewed and biased their analysis is. It's time for some new blood in the announcer's booth. Their nationalist analysis is getting old and irrelevant.
