It goes to the point that he's a dickhead though. Whether you think he shouldn't get fined or whatever, he's a jackass IMO, and many others. And it wouldn't have been a 'beat up' had he not already transgressed in the past I imagine.

If others like him, fair enough. I've never denied he's a tremendous battler with awesome fighting spirit on the court.

I just watched the Blake/linesman incident again, so horrible.

Eh, I don't think you'll find anyone who denies he was an absolute arsehole. But whether it be because he isn't one of the top players or has matured a bit, he's a lot better now.

And thankfully Brydan Klein has come to nothing so far. On current form it seems he's ready to take Lleyton's place as token Australian ****.

See, to me he seems like a ridiculously competitive guy who sometimes goes too far as a result than a complete asshole. I guess he's a bit hard to like but from how everyone here talks about him i thought he'd done something really awful as opposed to a series of irritating little outbursts.

I find accusing a linesman to be biased because he's black as really awful and definitely not little, you may not though.

I'm a big fan of Fish, and I know he's beaten Federer before, but I can't help but feel that he always falls short when he comes up against a top 10 player.

I'd go Haas vs. Cilic.

Söderling takes the first set 9-7 on the tie-break. Was 5-1, then 5-6 (chucked away two service points :dry: )

Feds breaks the coal-writer's serve immediately...and now Söderling takes his second break point to go 4-3 up in the second.

I was playing ping pong at lunch today and came back from 6-10 down and put in a few c'mons with my fingers pointing towards my forehead. It fired me up! I can see why Hewitt does it. I didn't care how much of a dickhead I looked like, I was more worried about not losing.
