So they don't strike you as gracious loosers??? Well the FACT is they are.. can't speak for Martina, becuase I have not read too many interviews of her.. But as for Anna, well i have read every interview, which comes available and only once in 1998 at the lipton was she not a gracious loser (final against Venus) but ever since then..she has not said a bad word about her opponent when she losers..and gives them plenty of credit.. Even if she did not play well herself..malaye said:Martina and Anna ? They don’t strike me as “gracious loosers”. If you read Anna’s interviews, she usually comes up with “I did not play well” or “I did not play the important points well enough” or “I made too many errors”, but she scarcely gives her opponent credit when credit is due. As for Martina, I think that she has much improved lately. The way she took her defeat at the AO was exemplary.
lindsay, monica, and patrick rafter in the guyz definitely...malaye said:Lindsay and Monica are the first names that come to mind.

On the men’s side, Rafter was/is (???) one of the most gracious players ever. Alex Corretja deserves a special rating too, I think.
