Poll of the Week

Keeping in theme with Eoghan O’Dea’s tennis betting blogs I’ve got a tennis related poll of the week for you. While I was in Sydney I was introduced to a friend of a friend who told me that he was a tennis umpire when I asked him what he did. “What sort of games do you umpire” I asked him.  ”Wimbledon, the US Open,  that sort of thing” he casually replied. And I thought he was too young to be a proper umpire!  So right now he’s in Melbourne officiating the Aussie Open.

I just had to ask him which player was the most abusive and gives the umpires the hardest time these days. I couldn’t believe it when he told me that it is STILL John Mcenroe. Mac just can’t help abusing officials, even though he is 52 and only plays charity games (makes him a bit of a tit I suppose.)

But I wanted to know which of the modern players was the most unpleasant to officiate. So he told me. This week’s poll is a right or wrong answer. Pick from the following seven players to answer the question “Which male tennis player is the modern scourge of the Umpires?”

Answer this week’s poll and leave a comment with your Twitter username to be in with a chance of winning a token to my bounty game.

Congratulations to Claire Taylor (@delibobble on Twitter – for winning last week’s poll.)
