Dear Thomas,
Thank you very much for your reply, I'm really glad that you decided to post and give us your side of the story.
I hope my comments didn't cause offence. My point which I don't think I made clear in my original post, which I tried to clarify in my subsequent posts was that if the reason for your complaint (as stated by daddycoach) was that a high serve was unsporting on match point, then this was stupid.
But as I said, I found it very hard to believe this was the argument of a professional sportsman, and in one of my later posts I stated that I hoped your real reason was that the serve was illegal.
I completely agree that players should show emotion on court. You are very passionate about the game and wear your heart on your sleeve, and I think that that is what makes you such a popular player, certainly that's why I love to watch your games.
Again I would like to apologies for my stupid assumption that daddycoach was correct with his explanation for your objection, and any offence it may have caused to you, this was certainly not my intention.
I still believe that if your objection had been on the grounds of sportsmanship then this would have been foolish, but am very pleased to hear that this was not the case. I greatly appreciate you giving us your side of the story.
I will try to make sure that in future I do not take the contents of other people’s posts as fact without some other kind of confirmation.
Best wishes,
Alaric
