quite some years ago hewitt was playing james blake the coloured american in wimbledon. in one disputed line call, which went in favour of blake,hewitt lost his temper& shouted at the chair umpire, alleging that since the line umpire was also black, he had favoured blake, as both were of the same colour.i was seeing the match on tv & was apalled at the abuses of hewitt. blake was so upset by this incident, he lost his concentration & the match.the wimbledon committee left hewitt with just a warning. had such an incident been instigated by an asian/african/latin american, or even an european not belonging to the anglo-saxon stock, he would have barred from playing at wimbledon for a minimum period of one year.wimbledon has softened down a lot from the time federer & nadal have started dominating the tennis scene, & there is no american & australian to challenge these two.
My dear fans across the world, Its fine windy late morning here in London and I thought I write to my fans after breakfast.
All your good wisher made it possible for me to complete a career slam with the French Open title. I am much releived now to win back my Wimbledon title.
I was closely watching Hewitt's match with Del Porto. I should be ready for any strong surprises.
Please wish me all the best. I shall show you signal as promised prior.

Nadal dominates him on Clay. On Grass and Carpet Federer is leading. On hard court they are leveling each other.
