What are your thoughts on this??

After I'd read an article this AM, my immediate response was, Spaniards pull the fast gun, for they have been riding high on sports mania after having won the Euro soccer, and Nadal's Wimbledon victory. For my curiosity, I'd discovered no asteroid named after a tennis player. Mostly astronomers, academicians, poets... There was a Russian ice dancer, remotely a sports person ? I'm not against an astroid named after a tennis player or football player. There are plenty more worthy tennis players present or past to have an asteroid named after, Rod Lever ( past ), Ivan Lendl, Borg, Connors, McEnroe, Agi,Sampras, Federer, Margaret Court, Billie Jean King, Chris Evert, Graf, Seles, Navratilova...Nadal comes after all of his predecers. He is a promising young player, but definitely NOT WORTHY. I don't care how the International Astronomists vote for this process. They have to do some more reaserch before they cast their votes. By the way, I've been a Nadal fan for 4 years. If I were him, I'd have declined the honor citing that there are worthier players to accept the honor. But who am I to suggest it ?
