Why Novotna?
And why the hell Murray?

Because he bashes his legs, swears at his team and blubbers like a child
when Roger beats him?

Actually, why Graf? She was always composed and rarely showed extreme
emotion like Novotna and Murray who cried when they lost the final.
Watson may have that as the biggest exhibit of 'passionate behaviour'.

Emotion is not the same as passion.

Quite right, even emotions (esp overwhelming ones) do often come from passion.

If Murray, why not Nadal ?
He acknowledged on various occasions that Wimbledon was the temple of tennis, how proud he was having won that one (esp. facing Federer).
Plus had some grass court(s) build on Majorca, so he can he practice when not touring (or in case of earlier exit than expected).
