glad great open
I'm just glad Open tennis is here. It's great for the game. That's more important.
champions dislike great lose man respect rod vicious
The great champions were always vicious competitors. You never lose respect for a man who is a vicious competitor, and you never hate a man you respect. I don't like Rod Laver because he's such a vicious competitor, but I don't dislike him.
