He has mentioned in the past hearing comments made during matches and this has previously affected him, although he realises that he should not allow this to happen.<BR/><BR/>He has absolutely no problem with the coverage afforded him by the press at all, and I am sure that Dave will find this to be the case the next time he speaks to him.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29605452.post-68790410167730164022008-10-24T22:15:00.000+01:002008-10-24T22:15:00.000+01:00I think that it was the stories about his wedding....I think that it was the stories about his wedding. But what did he expect. It was a slightly unusual situation so some papers were going to focus on it even though he wasn't, and isn't that well known, and some didn't rush to make it as clear as they could have that he had not married an aunt by blood.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29605452.post-76686366262689322592008-10-24T14:57:00.000+01:002008-10-24T14:57:00.000+01:00'3am girl'midnight cowboy more like'3am girl'<BR/><BR/>midnight cowboy more likeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29605452.post-12291883578007275332008-10-24T14:24:00.000+01:002008-10-24T14:24:00.000+01:00I can only think that he feels more pressure when ...I can only think that he feels more pressure when playing in the UK. But I don't remember much coverage of Ryan, and I also don't remember any instance of him being cranky with the press. It would be interesting to hear what bothered him - and perhaps compare it to the kind of coverage that footballers, cricketers and rugby players have to cope with on a regular basis.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29605452.post-67758773335891014702008-10-24T12:23:00.000+01:002008-10-24T12:23:00.000+01:00Perhaps Ryan is referring to the stories in the pa...Perhaps Ryan is referring to the stories in the papers about him getting married to his auntie, leading people to believe at first glance it was a blood relation he'd married when in actual fact it wasn't.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29605452.post-24803936184970375832008-10-24T11:45:00.000+01:002008-10-24T11:45:00.000+01:00I think Ryan is clutching at straws blaming the pr...I think Ryan is clutching at straws blaming the press. In the final on Sunday it clearly showed that Ryan doesn't yet have the bottle to win a major tournament. He had so many chances early on to get in front but missed easyish opportunities to get his nose in front. When he eventually did get back into the match the pressure was off and he started playing to the level he can.<BR/>Whether he will overcome this big problem remains to be seen but the more finals he reaches and loses will obviously have an effect on him.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
