(this article is from tennis.com, I pretty much stole it and thought I would give them credit for it, which I am trying to do with this rambling confession.)
Britain’s Daily Telegraph reports that it has won a lawsuit filed against the paper by British player Robert Dee, in which the Daily Telegraph and numerous other publications once described Dee as the “worst professional tennis player in the world.”
Dee, who lost a record-setting 54 consecutive matches on the Futures circuit, took legal action against dozens of newspapers and websites to defend his reputation. He has reportedly won thousands of pounds in settlements.
Instead of settling, the Daily Telegraph challenged the suit, and a High Court ruled: “The incontestably true facts are that the Claimant [Robert Dee] did lose 54 matches in a row in straight sets in his first three years on the world ranking ITF/ATP tournaments on the international professional tennis circuit, and that this was the worst ever run…There was no additional obligation on the paper to prove that Dee is objectively the worst professional tennis player in the world, in terms of his playing skills…it was simply a consequence of his unprecedented record of defeats.”
Man, this guy makes chumps like Robert Kendrick, Wayne Odesnik, Taylor Dent, and Scoville Jenkins look like absolute studs.

Those chumps as you so gracefully called them would like to see you sometime, preferably in a dark alley to discuss your views.
ReplyDeleteWhy did you use 4 American players that have actually done something, there are plenty to choose from all of your Brit tennis players?
ReplyDeleteLondon Tennis Assoc. = "CHUMPS"
Hey dickshit, I'm an American. So don't be getting all "butt-hurt" for using Americans as examples.
ReplyDeletePlus in a dark alley i'd kick all their asses. Even a ROID RAGED Odesnik.
well if you ever have the balls you should introduce your self to them.
ReplyDeleteThis is classic stuff here. lol
ReplyDeleteAlright, If I see Scoville Jenkins working the drive thru window at the Burger King, or when Wayne Odesnik tries to sell me some HGH, or when Taylor Dent and Robert Kendrick only get into the U.S. Open based on a wild card I will let them know that this turd Robert Dee makes chumps like them look like Rod Laver, Roger Federer, Bjorn Borg, Johnnie Mac, Arthur Ashe, and Rafael Nadal all rolled into one. They should take it as a compliment, if anything.
