Hall of Fame
The Sergio Tacchini executives must be pleased to see Nole accept the trophy on the podium, looking smart and professional in his Tacchini shirt for which he's paid millions to wear. By contrast, if I was the adidas exec negotiating Murray's clothing deals, I'd be livid seeing Murray stand up there dressed in that goddamn grey-marle training T-shirt. I mean, you could not see more contrasting styles up there on the podium - neat sportswear befitting a champion versus a loser's gym T-shirt.
It just looked so slovenly and unprofessional. The game's biggest stage of the moment and Murray looked like he was stepping out for a loaf of bread and a pint of milk. My point here is that he should've had the sense to realise there is a time and a place to look that casual. The presentation ceremony is not that time or place. There is absolutely no way you would've seen Lendl, Becker et.al look that ordinary on stage. The last time I felt like this was USO 1988 - Wilander wearing his sleeveless vest pullover like a muscletop (ironically it was a Tacchini back then too).
<sigh> Yeah go ahead and flame me all you want :roll:
