Who's been asking for players with more "personality" ? I haven't.
We must be in some kind of cultural crisis if racquet smashing, spectator abusing, umpire abusing, venting on twitter, possible tanking, and general mental flakiness are now considered to be signs of someone with a "personality."
Sorry, it's weak, and I don't buy it.

Some people are proffesionals, others are a bunch of smart alecs. Some of them are both.
Just because he's "not your type" doesnt mean he should be condemned.

Not saying that at all LP.
Bloke is a Tennis brat.
Does deserve the adulation that many receive, but he is largely harmless these days and does a bit of work with charity.
