James Blake: Gotta Love Him!
The May issue of Tennis Magazine has a feature article about James Blake.

A short anecdote in the story encapsulates the man:

Recently, a writer for Tennis Magazine visits Tampa, Blake's home, to do an interview. As the writer makes his way to a court where Blake is practicing, Blake notices him, stops playing, approaches the writer and says, "Hi, my name is James Blake."

If you already know James Blake's story, the article doesn't reveal anything new. However the writer raises the issue of whether Blake is too low key and self-depreciating to express the killer instinct many believe is needed to win a major.
