So there’s this guy, Robert Dee, he’s a professional tennis player and he won his first game today ending the longest losing streak in Tennis history. I dont know if I would be happy for the guy for finally breaking the streak, or.. feel sad at the fact that he’ll live the rest of his life with the “achievement” tagging his name.
The Independent, “Obviously it was great to get my first win but I can’t believe that people don’t have anything better to write about. I’m just going to keep on playing and improving and working hard with my coaches. Hopefully that will mean more wins at these sorts of tournaments,”
His father, Alan, said that describing him as a total no-hoper “was laughable and incorrect”, adding: “The Lawn Tennis Association have given him a rating of 4.2 and that is very impressive.”
Paul Henderson, his former head teacher at Eltham College, said: “Rob was never the school champion but he was very methodical about his tennis. We often wondered if we would hear of him again.”
On the bright side though, he’s still young and having the losing streak does epitomize the phrase “Just Do It.” Maybe he should get a shoe.
