A friend of mine comes to the Masters series in Canada with me each year (well, this is fairly new - I've only been twice, she has been three times - but it is now our annual event). Onward -
The first time we went to Montreal - Greg's birthplace if I'm not mistaken - was 2001.
She carried on for sometime about her plans of making a large sign that boldly read:
Greg Rusedski: Making Canada Proud Since 1995
I found this to be very amusing, but when it occured to me that she might actually do it, I had to pull the plug on the idea. Seeing somebody else with that sign would have made me crack up the entire match, but I refused to sit beside the person responsible for it.
Frankly, I'm indifferent to Greg. His decisions, results etc. bear little meaning to me, aside from the obvious fact that he is a player on the ATP circuit that is worth paying attention to when he is healthy and lurking in the draw.
I just wanted to share that little story above, and hadn't had the opportunity until now.
