Well we continue to show those Aussies who's boss eh?

When it comes to sport they don't compare to us. First the swimming, then cricket, now tennis. If we lose the friendly on Wednesday it will complete a sweep of pretty much every major sport bar rugby. And then we will know it's time to thow in the towel.

Is Tiny Tim playing this time around, or does the fate of the world rest on Rusedski?

But England is almost as bad at football as it is at cricket! :-)

I don't think any of them are in the top 200 are they? One of them is certainly 300+. What hope against Hewitt and Phillipoussis?

Henman and Rusedski are both injured.

It's a shame that one of the 4 countries with grand histories in tennis has fallen off the wagon. I don't think there is any reason why a British man or woman can't win Wimbledon, let alone have more that 2 guys in the Top 50.

Its the same old story in this country - not enough money put into sport. I do wonder what happens to all the money Wimbledon makes each year. You would have thought after Tim Henman, there would have been several youngsters coming through the ranks but it seems not. Such a shame.

Didn't you hear? They go to the petunias...that's why Wimbledon doesn't pay equal money to the ladies
