1. French tennis players aren't whiny, pants wetting, tantrum throwing, overpaid, under-talented,
mama's boys unlike a certain sport I could mention.

Little did I know cheese eating surrender monkeys was not a broad brushed right wing insult but an insightful observation of a bunch of cheating losers whose plane should have crashed on the way to Africa if god had any mercy on their pathetic shriveled little souls

2. Reason #72
No flopping. You might see all sorts of poor sportsmanship at a Tennis match but you won't see a player suddenly clutch his face, drop to the grass and roll-around in mock agony hoping the referee red-cards his opponent.

3. Not to mention no self respecting tennis player would score a winning point with his hand.

Unlike some slum-filled, elderly killing, horse eating, Nazi collaborating, third world, wine swilling nation I could mention. (Okay so i am Irish so sue me)
