Ha ha! Your wish is my command. I haven't been watching the Olympic tennis as am using up all my sport watching allowance on gymnastics and swimming. Those gymnasts can defy the laws of gravity whilst still looking stylish and those swimmers make wearing a swimming cap and goggles look so stylish I'm thinking of sporting mine for everyday wear...

But back to your question if a player is clutching body parts and looks like they are in agony and then retires or loses or is unable to play the points as usual... then their display of agony matches there performance. If a player clutches body parts, looks like they are in agony on a regular basis and then runs around like a rabbit (or was it another animal...) then Virginia Wade may be forced to call the player a "drama queen". Also Tommy Haas and all his friends in the locker room will have a good laugh.

So Murray got to play an injured Almagro. That sounds like fun...

Hmmm so Almagro was injured and you don't see that as 'a drama queen' and yet you call Murray 'a drama queen' for himself having an injury at the French Open. And by the way Almagro was running around like a bunny as you put it as well.
