It seems to me it's very much a topic about tennis... Back and forth and back and forth and back and forth...

Better question is: would you consider someone who do not give 2 points to the looser a bad player?
And would you consider him a bad person? Edited by Drejan - 12 Oct 2012 at 19:24 |

maybe she went for a famous example rather than looking at the timeline and finding the most recent one?
