This is an application by the Defendant, the publisher of the Daily Telegraph newspaper, for summary judgment under CPR Part 24, in an action for libel brought against it by Mr Robert Dee, the Claimant. He sues in respect of an article published on the bottom left hand corner of the front page of the Daily Telegraph on 23 April 2008 under the heading “World’s worst tennis pro wins at last”. 2. The Defendant’s argument in summary is this. It is said I should rule now that the words complained of must be read together with an associated article in the same edition of the newspaper which is not sued on but to which express reference was made in the article of which Mr Dee complains. When read together, it is said the articles are not arguably defamatory of the Claimant. In addition, it is said the Claimant has no real prospect of rebutting the justification and/or fair comment defences upon which the Defendant relies. On either basis it is said that no tribunal of fact could rationally conclude that the Claimant had been libelled.

  • Tennis Glory Ever Could
    A CHAMPION’S MIND For my wife, Bridgette, and boys, Christian and Ryan: you have fulfilled me in a way that no number of Grand Slam titles or tennis glory ever could Introduction Chapter 1 1971–1986 The Tennis Kid Chapter 2 1986–1990 A Fairy Tale in New York Chapter 3 1990–1991 That Ton of Bricks Chapter 4 1992 My Conversation with Commitment Chapter 5 1993–1994 Grace Under Fire Chapter 6 1994–1995 The Floodgates of Glory Chapter 7 1996 My Warrior Moment Chapter 8 1997–1998 Wimbledon Is Forever Chapter 9 1999–2001 Catching Roy Chapter 10 2001–2002 One for Good Measure Epilogue Appendix About My Rivals Acknowledgments / Index Copyright A few years ago, the idea of writing a book about my life and times in tennis would have seemed as foreign to me as it might have been surprising to you. After all, I was the guy who let his racket do the talking. I was the guy who kept his eyes on the prize, leading a very dedicated, disciplined, almost monkish existence in my quest to accumulate Grand Slam titles. And I was the guy who guarded his private life and successfully avoided controversy and drama, both in my career and personal life. But as I settled into life as a former player, I had a lot of time to reflect on where I’d been and what I’d done, and the way the story of my career might impact people. For starters, I realized that what I did in tennis probably would be a point of interest and curiosity to my family.
