And how do you know these people aren't all boasting? — Ed.  I was upset when Boris Becker said he wouldn't compete at Wimbledon again, as he is definitely the best grass-court player of recent times, not to mention the most charming. It'll be a long time before any of our players are half as captivating.  Jane (18) Huntingdon. 2/5 MORE OF YOUR COMMENTS HERE TOMORROW Comp Newsround Review Main Menu

Come on, these are the 1990s. Nowadays, women want their independence.  Liz (12), London  Just because people have more money in today's society doesn't mean they have nicer clothes.
