He is right, the only indoor courts available are privately owned, it costs a fortune for youngsters to play the game, so many parents are put off. The LTA receives colossal amounts of profit from Wimbledon, as do the BBC, funds should be redirected to grass roots

Oh F*** ***

Is it constructive ?

So the LTA have got to drag rich kids off the street and make them all play tennis until we get another moaner and doubt the poor will ever get a look in

He has always been an average player and he can't blame anyone for that.

he is right, the LTA has hardly changed in its entire history, his mum went through the restrictions and didn't want Andy to follow that path, rumors over the years say that some players only get wildcards if they play by LTA rules and guidance

He mentions everyone but our amazing wheelchair players. BackALLtheBRITS

And that's the reason why he lost at the first round in the AusOpen

Could easily see him being an amazing catalyst for change as part of his future career. andy_murray

Does that bloke ever stop moaning? He's nearly as bad as my mother-in-law, nearly but not quite!

Wouldn't actually living in the UK and not the US and help personally bring this growth?
