Vitas Gerulaitis"Vitas Gerulaitis was a firebrand. Fined £1,250 in 1978 for indulging in 'gross and obscene behavior,' he suggested that a line judge be 'put in a crematorium and burned.' He also responded to a heckle of 'Stop swearing, Goldilocks!' by inviting the guy down for a fight, and once squared up on court with a member of his opponent's family. 'I told him to come on out as I would love to have given him a racket sandwich,' he growled."
[Trivia: Gerulaitis once accepted a dare (from Ilie Nastase) to drink half a pint of vodka, liberally mixed with cigarette ash and stale bread.]
