When I am in England each summer people always ask: "Why don't English players win Wimbledon? They ought to be more like Americans and play to win." "To my mind, it's time Americans started being more like the English - or at least learn to lose with grace."
Being more like the English?... you mean like Rusedski who, after losing to Sampras, whined that Sampras was too slow, not a very good player anymore, and would not even win his next match. What class... all third.
Its ironic that John McEnroe, of all people, should suggest Americans should learn to "lose with grace". You can't be serious!
