So a grown man took a temper tantrum all because he lost a game...sure shows the type of man he is...so what else is new?

He?s frustrated. And about a game! Everybody loses sometimes. That?s life, especially as sports people get older. Years ago didn?t John McEnroe throw his racket around in the same way? And swore at the linesmen to boot.

To me that is still no excuse for bad behavior regardless of who you are.  He is a professional tennis, knows the ins and outs of game, he acted like a spoiled brat not getting his own way.

Roger Federer on sitting in Royal Box at Wimbledon:

"My dad whispered 'wouldn't you rather be playing than watching?' I said 'no I'm happy to enjoy the match' it was so fun sitting next to Princess Catherine. I know her very well. We have to be careful not to talk too much"

'She is an avid tennis fan, and she plays herself' -
