The 26-year old loses his temper quite easily on court, as a result of poor umpiring decisions or poor courts. The Aussie was complaining about the grass court at this year’s Wimbledon Championships. He is one of the most controversial players in the history of the sport, particularly for his comments.

He can lose his temper and rackets go smashing, and umpires chairs and everything else for that matter. So it’s good to see him out there and enjoying himself. The flip side of that is, he has got to get himself 100% fit and you got to do that by match play and working hard. That means being on the road, working hard for months and months and year, not just a few weeks.

“It will be very hard for him to be consistent, even though he has the ability to beat anybody in the world,” said Cash.
