Why he might be annoying:

    He has never won the French Open, nor appeared in a French Open final.
    He has absolutely no charisma.
    He is a boring workman like player who plays without emotion (rare exception after Tim Gullickson's death).
    He kept secret that he was of Greek Jewish descent until it was uncovered in a Sports Illustrated article.
    He vomited several times on the court while playing Alex Corretja in a quarter-finals match during the United States Open (1996).
    He won that match and then hugged his girlfriend, Delaina Mulcahy.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He rarely argues with referees or linesman.
    He is considered a sports gentleman.
    He is the top tennis player of all time.
    He won over the crowd when he became emotional over the death of his coach, Tim Gullickson (died of a brain tumor at 44).
    On what would have been Tim's 45th birthday, Pete won the match and broke down and cried uncontrollably thinking of Gullickson (1996).
