And who is Robert Dee, I hear you ask? He is the young man who finally, after 54 tennis matches as a professional player, actually managed to win one.
In the press I've heard him described as a loser, or the worst tennis player. Nonsense. He could beat most of us any time.
What he shows - in abundance - is the dogged sort of courage and self belief that keeps on going even when he keeps getting knocked down time and again. It's that, in my book, that makes him one of the greats, not the number of times he manages to win.
Many people would give in after losing a dozen times in a row. Certainly most would give in after twenty. But Robert kept on going, and going, and eventually it paid off. His effort and determination are inspiring.
He's a national treasure - not because he lost, but because there's a man who cannot be beaten!
