CAMELOT FANTASIES

I just read on TW and it's posted by Mainad who I happen to think is a very good poster (posted below). I think it's mostly true as I've witnessed it one too many times myself over the years. Nadal is quite popular by many Indians. He's also very popular by all the South Americans. British are also very fond of Nadal but it's most common in women. I don't think the guys are into them all that much. I do feel a player's popularity, especially around the world, is directly connected to his/her nationality first, looks come second and anything else is last. Of course there are exceptions but I am mostly speaking in general terms perspective. That's probably the very reason why Federer is so popular because he comes from a country that doesn't have much history behind it to be controversial enough. Quite ironic, all this, when you look into in each country's history - Spain for example - you know it's not at all innocent.
