Ilie Nastase

Nice bloke... Just to recap in the last 24 hours he has:

- Made racist comments regarding Serena's baby
- Got creepy with Anna K at the presser
- Had a pop at a journalist for doing her job
- Told an umpire he is f ing stupid
- Told Anna K and Konta they are f ing bitches, causing Konta to feel so upset that play is halted
- Escorted from the grounds
- Had another go at the journalist while leaving the ground

If he was the British coach he surely would have been suspended for just either one of the first two.

Different country. Different generation.

Romania should probably lose the tie by default for his behaviour.

I don't honestly know what goes though some poeples minds, I mean, even if you think any of the stuff he said, how on earth can anyone think it's worth doing any of that while representing your country on a global stage.

There was an interview with the Romanian Tennis chief executive, who was inexplicably defending the comments too.

Romania will probably win the tie, it's all going to be down to Konta really, but the way she dealt with the incident was extremely impressive (composed herself after the match was delayed at TeamGBs request, then came back out and absolutely smashed it). I'm more and more impressed by Konta really think she could have a grand slam in her this year.

The umpire should have defaulted Romania, but GB are going to have to go through with tomorrow now. I think the LTA should demand a rematch at a neutral venue, this has cast a big shadow over the entire fixture.

I'm shocked at how many Romanians are defending him, they are hardly dispelling the myth that Romania is a backward country are they?
