It’s a four-part question. It requires immense concentration from lazy freaks like you. So put that hand down - or up to fully understand.
1. Who will win the title at London?
2. How many sets will he need to win the finals?
3. What will be the score in the finals? Closest to the actual numbers will win.
4. Write a one liner or more as to why you think he will win? Like Soderling will win because he deserves it – or some such BS. If the first three answers are identical, your creativity, humor etc. on this will break the tie. Maybe I will poll the response.
And you can’t double, triple freaking dip. Just one answer. If you do make changes only your first response will be considered. So look at the numbers etc. before you vote. Cut off: Nov 21.
For mentally challenged toddlers here’s what your answer will look like (Just copy, paste and answer):
1. Verdasco.
2. Three sets.
3. 6-4, 2-6, 7-5.
4. Verdasco will win because he is still not yet done tormenting Ivanovic for the dumping.
Since this is a tough question, should I include a small prize for the winner? Like a DVD player.
Guy has had a miserable time against the top ten players ever since he came out of that cave resounding with divorce, FO, Wimbledon, No. 1 rank and who knows what else.
With this line up he is like being stripped of all his clothes with no tomato cans to hide behind. Even Verdasco, with his losses, is making it look close and competitive. Nadal may not be able to come even close to it by the time he is done here.
With the only carrot worthy of producing any magic already gone, Nadal is now looking for straws to not get ridiculed and embarrassed. His next match against Davydenko who just got done playing a thriller will further cement this claim.
Nadal is like a former king now looking for mercy to be allowed to live – forget about the throne and everything else. Soderling, the weakest link on the draw, provided him a not so nice preview of what Nadal is headed for.
As things stand today, Nadal may have won his last Slam already (yes, the FO included) if not the last title in the presence of the big boys.
It will be a miracle if Nadal is able to escape with some semblance of dignity and respect by the time WTF is done. Right now just winning a set is what will get him there – forget about a win.
With everyone else pulling their weight and more, it will only add to the torture and torment – specially Verdasco. Yeah, it’s come down to that.
Sometimes it seems that weight loss is more out of the shock of divorce and personal issues than any striking career strategy.
From the findings of why women have sex, here’s one reason you might consider when you suddenly feel they are falling like flies in your lap.
“I was surprised by the importance of revenge. A few had sex in order to give someone else a sexually transmitted disease. More commonly, women’s revenge sex involved getting back at a cheating partner, or having sex with the partner of a friend who had poached her partner.”
The second and the third set explosion almost made Murray wish he had not won the first set to infuriate Federer.
Federer is now tied with Connors with five year end No. 1 ranks with Sampras ahead at six. Sampras of course did it in straights to claim that as probably the only record as bragging material vis-a-vis Federer.
But this remarkable turnaround in Federer’ game specially at this time in his life and career was rooted in lot more than just a need to win a match. This was a statement game in destroying the guy who has had his number reflected in 3-6 H2H stat. Then there was that added mustard of pulling it off in his backyard.
And if all that wasn’t enough the third set toying just knocked it out of the park.
This match was also a signal to how competition can elevate or deflate your game significantly. Add the setting and the carrot to be had after the win and you have a perfect landscape for a break out game.
How about the opponent? Both Murray and Djokovic are not the first ones Federer looks for when taking people out for dinner. Is that what’s missing in that Nadal dynamic, masterfully crafted by Nadal, to shut out any possibility of such a massacre against him?
Or does this glorify Nadal’s H2H against Federer even more? 7-13.
Nonetheless, Federer has been able to cap the phenomenal year, professionally and personally, with the fireworks it truly deserved.
With Del Potro barely making it against Verdasco, Delpo will need an explosion of similar proportions when he meets Federer on Thursday or else that US Open win may suddenly begin to lose some of its lustre if the beating gets brutal and humiliating.
Only Djokovic now seems to be the real hurdle for Federer. Djokovic’s had an amazing match against Davydenko. That match may have added another layer of conviction to the already bursting bag of confidence Djokovic is currently carrying around.
But if Federer even remotely duplicates the form displayed today, Djokovic is in for a thrashing himself. Wonder who the crowd will root for in that match.
Imagine this: A team of robbers enter your home, hold you captive, rob you of all your valuables and then decide to not leave. They not only live in your home now they also turn you and your family into their slaves – in your own freaking home.
Now these evil people love a certain sport…….. Can you freaks put two and two together from now on?
I guess not. I am stuck with spoon-feeding toddlers here. Geeeeezzzzz!!!!!!!
So to indulge in their passion away from their own home, they decide to teach you and your kids their favorite sport.
When they are finally kicked out of their acquired home, they leave after instilling the passion for their sport into your psyche.
When you are humiliated in that way by an intruder, shouldn’t you make sure you eliminate all signs of his presence after he leaves?
If not, aren’t you still mired in that pathetic existence at some subtle plane?
1. The guy with most runs ever is 5′5″, I think. Or is he even shorter? I am sure he is not taller than that. If he’s any shorter, board becomes bore, boo….
I mean, sports is all about being able to showcase your physical prowess. If not, how long before a circus dwarf becomes the all time run getter?
Just the fact that a midget is even allowed to play as a pro dwarfs the game’s credibility. But if a shorty is a GOAT, you have got to rank the activity as a chore. Watching it then should be only for GITMO prisoners before they go for the waterboarding fun.
2. Guy with one eye not only is considered one of the greats of the game, he is billed as the greatest caption of all time.
Should I line up the Wal-Mart staff then? After all, they all have at least one organ missing – somewhere.
Can you imagine a Walmarty at any of the US sports? I know there is couple who slipped through the cracks in the NBA, but with cricket it’s a complete joke and a norm.
And this is after just perusing the sport carelessly. I am sure if I dig deeper, some with walkers, oxygen tanks on their back, hospital beds complete with the ivy drip etc. will show up.
That’s besides all the other BS I have against the sport like these clowns actually prepare the wicket (grounds) to ensure that the whole five freaking day match is a draw. Five freaking day match. Geeeezzzzzzzzzz!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for the info Jenny. This thing looks huge. Are you going?
Well, after Screwdriver (anyone know how he/she is doing?), it’s my turn to have the damn swine flu, so that means no work next week, so I’ll be able to watch the whole tournament. At least I got it in time for London and before christmas holidays.lol.
