Like -

Hewitt
Any swedish player - they all seem nice guys on the court
All aussies bar Philipoussis
Agassi - a great person

Dislike -

Philipoussis - soft and unpatriotic, a total opposite to most aussie sportsmen and women.
Safin - egotistical and temperamental
Roddick - stop being a big head at least until you win something !

Haha ... quite right eastaugh .. and yet it is for this reason that I actually DO like her. She just seems to be pretty honest, and she tries soooo hard!

If we were to look at 'moody' and 'cant handle it', I have to say I reckon Hingis is indeed about #1 at these, but Provis is about #2!

(am I out of touch?)

Was this the same Philipoussis who won both his singles matches in the 1999 Davis Cup final to ensure Australia won the title?

Hewitt and Rafter's records in Davis Cup finals isn't impressive.

Philipoussis probably hasn't made the most of his talent but if you call him soft, then Rafter would have to be up there to. On several occasions in big Grand Slam matches and in Davis Cup ties, Rafter's stamina fell to pieces, barely able to complete the match when the pressure was really on.

And Rafter should've won one of the two Wimbledon finals he played in. He had plenty of chances to win against Goran, and he was up a set and ahead in the 2nd set Tiebreak against Sampras but fell away. Even Rafter admitted after that match that he choked but because it was "Our Pat" and not Mark, nay a word of criticism was heard from the lame Australian media.

Game, Set, Match.

Eastaugh, how could you call Philipoussis soft? He came back from three knee injuries, and he has just won a 5-set match with the 11th best player in the world, this happened 3 months after his third knee operation. And you're calling him soft? He can serve up to 220 km/h, hit the ball really hard and you're calling him soft? Get your head checked! You don't have that much knowledge about tennis as you claimed to have, Eastaugh. Pathetic.
