In Miami, Dan LeBatard, on the youth movement in
women's tennis: "They are bold, boorish brats. And, man,
isn't it wonderful? These irritating female tennis players
-- cocky in one breath, crying in the next -- are doing no
less than saving their sport. ... Two things make tennis
move -- rivalries and personalities. ... These girls have
the potential to give us both" (MIAMI HERALD, 7/3). NBC's
John McEnroe said that the "biggest problem" with men's
tennis is that "too many players give an inconsistent
effort, even at Grand Slam events." McEnroe: "How can these
guys who make millions of dollars a year appear not to care
at Wimbledon? It's embarrassing" (AP/DETROIT NEWS, 7/6).
