I have never or cared or liked Pat Cash when he was playing
Cash was the first person that climbed to his box at Wimbledon after he won Wimbledon,I guess that was the trend he started,that's what I can remember about him.

Cash just wants his name to be remembered so he keeps popping up in the media with Insane Remarks

Pat Cash is a grandfather now,plays expo and on the senior tour at times

Pat May I suggest go and spend some quality time with your grandchildren asap

Also Engage Brain Before Opening Mouth.

I think so many of us will never forget that moment and that article. There was such a lack of compassion for what Serena and Venus must have been going through. After literally growing up in the public spotlight, just as you're becoming an adult, your sister is murdered. It was what disgusted me most about that entire episode--complete and utter lack of compassion.

I remember how the media was denigrating Serena in every way at AO07.Tracy Austin was one of the media persons who minimized Serena s chances against pova,Petrova was asked about the match between Serena and JJ,she went as far as to say they are too focused on their fashion lines and that JJ is a better player.Vaidosova also laughed when they talked about how fat Serena was...it was like open season against Rena.
I just loved how Serena went through Shahar Peer,Jankovic,Petrova,Vaidisova and pova...that was the ultimate revenge.:clap

Yes so true I would never forget those comments on at the AO 07 tournament. There treated Serena like shit, like she did not matter. Those sob. would never forget them. Is Peer still losing first round in every tournament. And where's Nadia now. Real sorry to hear about Nadia's mom must be really difficult for her at this time.

Nadia has always had a bone to grind with Serena...remember her match against Serena at Rome 13.She was acting like a raging bull...shouting at the ball kids ,her coach saying silly things to the media...she was so visibly professionally jealous of Serena....and so passive when playing pova.

I had to google Pat because I couldn't remember his face. Sometimes those one slam wonders are so hard to recall (smirk. Well the first thing I noticed was the poor thing is dying his own hair. Dude, even if you haven't managed your money well, you can do better. Get a professional to dye your hair. And remember, once your face is sagging...like yours, it can be tough to convince people that your hair isn't dyed.
So Pat, how do you sauté your crow. Have you gotten use to the taste yet?

Just to keep everything in perspective and for those who never read the article

in question here is Pat's article.... and apology, which is classic






Williams Is Lost Cause


For all her talk, Serena Williams will never return to the top again

IF ANYBODY is qualified to make deluded statements about tennis, it is a former world No 1 and winner of seven Grand Slam titles. But when Serena Williams arrives in Australia on her first foreign playing trip in a year and announces that it is only a matter of time before she is again dominating the sport, it’s time to tell her to get real.

Tennis is unforgiving. You can’t let it slide down the list of priorities, only to realise suddenly that playing the sport was what you wanted to do all along. Many have tried to turn back the clock, but nearly all have failed. That list includes Bjorn Borg, John McEnroe, Martina Hingis and, for different reasons, Monica Seles.

Admittedly this quartet experienced some success. The exploits of Hingis reaffirm the belief that a good champion never completely loses the gift, but she has gone only a fraction of the way and the No 1 ranking she held for a couple of years is far out of reach. Why? Tennis moved on in her absence.

The only players I can recall who let things slip, only to climb back to the top, were Andre Agassi and Jennifer Capriati. Williams should ask herself if she has the same dedication. And is she prepared to make the sacrifices? The answer is obvious.

As the saying so often used by McEnroe goes: “The older I get, the better player I used to be.” I take issue with Mac over many things, but not the merits of those words.

Williams may be in better physical shape this year than when she pitched up for the 2006 Australian Open, but her three matches in Hobart last week were her first in tournament play since the US Open almost four months ago. Add to that the fact that last year she opted not to play outside the US after losing in the third round in Melbourne and you cannot fail to agree that her application is lacking.

The Williams sisters changed the face of women’s tennis, taking power play to previously unimaginable levels. They blazed everybody else out of their path. But Serena clearly has a limited attention span. At her peak she had no patience in the way she played her tennis. Now she does not appear to have the fortitude to stick at what she is trying to do.

I never experienced a fraction of the success and dominance that she enjoyed, but there came a time in my career when everything associated with being a top player seemed suffocating. I wanted to do different things and the thought of heading to the practice court seemed like purgatory. Eventually I realised how much tennis meant to me and tried to make up for lost time, but although the spirit was willing, the body was not. And it made for years of frustration.




Strewth! I called it wrong

Pat Cash
I am happy to eat humble pie after Serena Williams produces an awesome display of power tennis

FPRIVATE "TYPE=PICT;ALT=" AUSTRALIANS are not very good at admitting their mistakes. Maybe that’s because it doesn’t happen very often when sport is concerned, but I hold my hands up in apology, I got it wrong all ends up about Serena Williams. In my defence, I was not alone. Tracy Austin, who knows more about women’s tennis than me, laughed at the suggestion that the former world No 1 had a legitimate shot at climbing back to the top. Yet here are the two of us, and many more besides, eating humble pie after Serena collected a third Australian Open title to take her Grand Slam collection to eight.
What does this win mean, except for the fact I once again appreciate it’s a good job I don’t gamble because I would have put a lot of money on Serena not even being around for the second week of the tournament, let alone winning the whole thing? Foremost, it proves she is a a dynamic athlete and quite simply the strongest female player the game has ever known. It defies belief that she can turn up for a Grand Slam after playing just four tournaments in the past 12 months and win the thing. However, it reinforces my long-held view that there is a huge disparity between the relative strengths of the men’s and women’s games. For a woman to win a major title, no matter how talented and experienced she might be, on so little match play is a sad indictment of the WTA Tour.
NI_MPU('middle');This result also tells me that the young band of players — Nicole Vaidisova, Jelena Jankovic, Shahar Peer, Nadia Petrova, and even Maria Sharapova on the evidence of the final — are intimidated by Williams when she is focused on the job and brimful of determination. You have to admit, she must be a pretty awesome sight across the net when she is slamming winners.
People were shocked when Venus Williams got through to win the Wimbledon title in 2005, but this achievement eclipses even that. Just a few weeks ago, Serena turned up in Hobart for a minor warm-up tournament and lasted a couple of rounds before losing out to a player who was eliminated here within a couple of days.
I can understand why Serena allowed her concentration to wander into the worlds of acting and fashion. She lived and breathed little other than tennis for most of her teens and everybody needs time to break out. You also have to add the distress she felt when her half-sister was murdered in 2003. I lost a half-brother when I was a junior player and it was something I struggled to come to terms with for years. Now she is back and I hope that we see Serena contending at Roland Garros, Wimbledon and Flushing Meadows. I will not be making the same mistake again.
