We invented tennis and the Davis Cup: How is it that British lawn tennis gets £25m pa from the Championships, £30m over 5 years from Aegon**, and they tip out this heap of damaged or immature codswallop to represent the mighty Great Britain on the world stage? They knew there was a problem - why else stage it in a blue-carpeted barn on Merseyside?
So we are now in the bottom league (sound familiar?) and the only redeeming feature is that it contains Denmark, home of the blessed Caro Wozniacki, the tasty Danish pastry, aka the Delectable Dane - maybe they'll allow the girls to take part, more than a match for our bunch!
[**I hope Aegon's investments in their policyholders' funds are better placed than in sponsoring this cringingly dreadful promotional tennis garbage]
