A former champion or a past champion?
Published July 21, 2012

At the beginning of the month, when I was catching up with the Radio 5Live Wimbledon podcasts, I was intrigued by this snippet of conversation between John McEnroe and Pat Cash. McEnroe was hosting one of those 606 listener call in specials, but Cash had to share a sudden irritation of his that wasn’t in relation to any question in particular. Pat: Something that annoys me a little bit, people calling you former Wimbledon champion, or something.
