the uk remains the eternal butt of jokes among the international sports community.. 😂

for instance, ask any tennis fan: 'when do you think another british player will win a singles slam title at any of the open championships?' and you will be met with the same reaction: roaring laughter.. the jokes basically write themselves really..

sad but true.. <gasp>
