    Was watching the tournament last week and noticed a quote on the wall in the trophy room. It was something like "treating winning and losing as the same". Anybody got any idea?

    It was by Rudyard Kipling a poem called if. Thats what they read out at the beginning of the BBC telecast IIRC but I'm not 100% sure

    its over the door where the players walk out i think..
    "if you can meet with triumph and disaster and treat those two imposters just the same", as the last poster said, If by kipling.
    It's been there forever, the last couple of years the bbc have really gone on about it though for some reason
