Is it though, he was 1 month old when he moved to Wimbledon. That means all his training and schooling and all his upbringing was in the UK.
Like I totally get it when it’s someone like Rudeski who switches over in his 20s after previously playing for Canada but this lad is much like others who have arrived as toddlers.
He’s British in my view much like anyone else who finds their home here. And he would have been even if he was working down the local pub.
Well if he lived here since the age of a month he will have a British passport.
As a kid I was a fantical England fan now I just like to see how they do.
We change and adapt, most of his schooling and coaching would have happened here I assume. Anyhow landmasses and borders make me laugh.
It’s all fucking bollocks. Isn’t there somewhere in Central Europe where if you’d lived 80 years during the last century in the same place you’d have had 10 nationalities
Oh damn he’s won, how do I congratulate the 114 seed because I can’t call him British even though by playing under a British umbrella, getting all the British funding and support which comes from taxpayers and lottery.
And has spent more years here than several other patriots we often hear about.
I think he falls under Henry II’s lands so well done 114 seed and British under Henry II’s borders Arthur Fery.
I’ve been impressed by Fery overall, although I wonder if being relatively short and without a powerful serve it’ll hold him back from the elite level of the sport.
Ah well. Well done to Fery, acquitted himself very well, but ultimately didn’t have the answers to the sheer power coming at him from the man-mountain on the other side of the net.
I’m sure he’ll have a decent career though if he can play like that consistently. World number 36 now, I think.
Fair play to Novoska, thought after that second set she’d lost. Deserved win though. Muchova fought well to win the second, but began the third in the same manner as the first.
