Thins I admire about Lleyton:
* His fighting spirit - he can be down 6-luv, 6-luv and 5-luv against serve, and he won't give up; some of our greatest Davis Cup moments have involved him clawing his way back from the brink of doom
* He hasn't been in great form in recent years, but we all know just how good he can be - he has great court speed, great touch on lobs, volleys and drop shots and a good tennis mind
* Love him or hate him, the guy bleeds blue and gold - he is so passionately Australian and proud of it.
OK, so he sooks a bit. I blame his parents - when he hot the spotlight at age 16, instead of keeping him grounded they encourage him to behave like he did at home (that is, spoiled). But I admire the guy's tenacity and honestly hope he could one day win the Open.
Mind you, with a freak like Feds there...
