World number three, 20-year-old Serbian Novak Djokovic told BBC’s Inside Sport programme: ”In the UK a lot of kids are a little bit spoiled. If you have perfect conditions and everything you want, you don’t know the real meaning of tennis and you don’t work as hard as you are supposed to. You do not have hunger for success because everything is on a plate.” He also went on to say”I think you have enough tennis history and enough people who have a big knowledge about tennis who will recognise the problem, and you still have a lot of potential and everything you need. You just have to find the right moment and to change the mentality of the coaches and the kids.”

Djokovic who beat Murray 6-0 6-4 at the Monte Carlo Masters on Thursday points out that Andy Murray could never be described as spoiled, and he also expects the Scot, who was coached and trained outside of the British system, to join him in the top five rankings, stating “He has enough quality, enough talent, and enough potential to be a top-five player, and everybody expects him to do that.”

What do you think are Britsh players spoilt and is the LTA’s process not quite right?
