Throwing shoes in the stands? Are you freaking kidding me!!! What’s next? Panties and thongs?
Posted by tennisplanet on May 31, 2008
Are you so freaking hungry for attention that this is the best way you can find to make the newspaper headline? Who freaking gave you the impression that anyone is even interested in your stinky shoes? Go pick them up after crowd leaves. You are not No. 1 in real life and never will be. Cut the crap out and lose the unfreakingbelievable theatrics. Geeeeeeeeeeeeeezzzzzzzzzzz!!!!!

This is typical Michael, he’s been doing this stuff for years and would be the same if he was 1 or 501. I love the guy’s elegant style and s/v tennis, to see him doing so well as a singles player in the latter stages of his career and in Paris where is was born is just great. Don’t forget he stood in during DC to play Andy, when the baby Richard bottled out. lol TP, leave him alone!

Jenny, I thought this was Julien Benneteau. Am I wrong?
If it is Julien, well, I have to say, nothing slightly charming about him. He played Falla yesterday, who just came off from a five-setter the day before and was struggling physically. At the last set (5th!) against Julien, Falla could hardly get up from his chair and was in alot of pain. But he still played AN ENTIRE SET, which he obviously lost 0-6 in less than 20 minutes. I couldn’t believe it, I was hurting for the guy, he couldn’t run, serve or anything anymore, he was jumping on one foot. I was yelling out “just retire”. But he didn’t, just to give Julien his win. The crowd was amazed, but Julien didn’t show any respect towards Falla. He was jumping all over and pumping his chest, as if he just conquered Rome. When he was asked what he thought about Falla’s gesture, he said that he was the one who played better and deserved to win. That’s it.

Oh goodness Sol you’re right, but it does look like Llodra and this is what he does, must be catching! Sorry folks!

Sol said
Jenny, you’re right, Llodra does it too. A frenchmen thing maybe? ; )

There has to be some rules against this. It must be heavy, full of sweat. People can get hurt. I mean, his SHOE…

This is Michael Llodra, a frenchman. He is very weird.

Sorry, just looked at the picture thoroughly and this is Julien Benneteau. I so thought it was Llodra because he does these things all the time but it is the first time that I see Benneteau doing that.
