You have to be cute.

Remember Kournikova?

She never won a single WTA event but she fucking minted it.

She's British after all.

I wonder how much sacking her coach has had to do with this? I gather she doesn't have one at present.

Well, both she and her ex-coach are newbies, so her decision was understandable.

If I remember correctly, Serena waited years to win her next title following her first Grand slam win.

Coming back to earth with a bump is very common.

Doubtless there’s an all-time Irish great who overcame that problem though.

Don't think tennis is the Irishes'ses strongest sport, to be honest.


If the sport was taking blokes from other countries and sticking them into the national football team though.

Has anyone Irish ever succeeded in any sport they haven't just made up on their own?
