Idly tennis surfing in afterglow of Nadal victory. Ended up on this page, documenting the quotations of Miloslav Mecir, who used to be one of my favourite players but on this evidence has yet to break into my top ten epigrammists. It’s hard to say which of these quotes I’m going to be using the most over the coming days:
“I had expected a close match, and I did not know how the first day would end. I’m glad Domino won the important first point.â€
“I had a feeling that this is our strongest team. I was very satisfied with both of our guys today.â€
“We saw three days of world-class tennis, and in the end the better team won. I congratulate Croatia.â€
“I have had a big problem with my back since Christmas. Doctors gave me some infusions but it did not help me a lot. I started with special exercises but doctors do not recommend a long flight.â€
As Miloslav Mecir says…..
