MP used to play tennis in Bendigo as a kid. Stayed at the house of one of my mates.
Has never in my opinion conducted himself in a manner to maximise his potential. His fiasco in pulling out in a final in Melb against Pete Samphras after a night out on the tiles as Crown Casino... & Colin Stubbs statement at the time that he would never have him in another tournament springs to mind. He lost me as a fan then. Sure he has had injuries, which have interfered with his career,but I think he is his own worst enemy. This latest thing is just another example of his lack of self disipline & control.
