Markelby, Australians really do try to be humble, but then they encounter another Pompous Ass Pom Of A Certain Yype and realise that compared with him/her/it, feeling humble is completely irrational.

And we feel the exact same way about you. Stalemate I guess.

I don't really associate Aussie tennis players with arrogance and lack of humility because of that flock of Hopmanite princes who dominated the game in the late Am/early Open era. And Mr Rafter of course.

I hesitate to throw my lot in with national generalisations until I've met a few who fit the stereotype. Just as I don't know any irony-free, loud, boorish Americans, I don't know any arrogant Aussies either.

Disappointed with this result though, just cos I like the Spanish.

i think fed prob handles tsonga (tho a loss wouldnt shock me) but stan/monfils for the cup has incred potential for a sick match
