I think there is an exaggeration of his importance on this thread,as for smacking a child in the eye that was an accident and certainly he is not the only tennis player to throw a hissy fit.
What i see on this thread is a lot of negativity, some puerile comments [novax]a lot of intolerance to other peoples views.
in a years time people will be wondering what all the fuss was about, there will be a new tennis champion, the australian tennis federation will have made a lot of money, the politicians will still be posturing the whole thing is a stoRm in a teacup, blown up out of all proportion by the media.
THIS ISSUE IS OP LITTLE IMPORTANCE
