Funny Vince

Vince and his defeats.

As you know it, the end of 1999 and this year 2000 were disastrous for Vince. Before the tournament of Wimbledon, he had lost 21 consecutive matches. We heard that even his parents didn't have any hopes anymore. Here is what Vince said after his win against Greg Rusedski in London :
"My parents left - My parents went home two days ago. I think they saw the draw and said 'Vince, man, good luck to you, boy. Just use that racket speed, but I don't know if that will help you'"
Poor Vince !

 

Vince and the cow.

We don't know if you knew about it, but since he was a kid, Vince had a dream : to get on a cow.
Why this dream ? Nobody knows. Unfortunately, the opportunities had never arisen and his desire had stayed unfulfilled during many years.

Anyway, his dream came true at last. In Gstaad (Switzerland), he was proposed to get on this wonderful cow and to have his photo taken in order to immortalize this moment of pure happiness.

Look at his beaming face. Wasn't it worth waiting ?

Vince is bad-tempered.

Yes, Vince is bad-tempered. It's an admitted fact. Anyway, in Vienna (Austria) and Lyon (France), in 1999, people realized that.
In Vienna, Vince was elected "Jerk of the tournament". We don't know exactly why, but several persons were talking about that, on Internet, the day after.
In Lyon, at the restaurant of the tournament, Vince experienced a terrible adventure : a fag end in his salad. Why this fag end ? Because Vince had complained to the waitress about the slowness of the service, during all the dinner.
Poor Vince !

Sometimes Vince eats too much.

Tennis coach John Skelly told, in the Cincinnati Enquirer, that in Cincinnati 98 : "After Vince beat Agassi, he had to play Sampras. But after four days of eating here, he couldn't get into his shorts. Had to wear practice shorts when he played Pete."
And Vince added : "I had to ask Adidas for an extra-large shirt, too. I blamed the dry-cleaner."
Yes Vince, you're right, it's the dry-cleaner's fault...
