2015 Monte Carlo Masters Final: Djokovic v. Berdych

[Denis]

Fiero should be banned for another six months. :cover After the match is over, he has voted for Novak in three. :nono As pointed by Denisovich, at the point of time Novak lost the second set, there were no votes for Novak in three. Admins should close the pool once the match starts.

:snicker lol @ fiero (!)

 

[Billie]

He didn't, did he? :lolz:

So what, those polls don't determine the winner, nor there is a prize for getting it right.:snicker

Nole always has these "brain f@rts" losing a set for no good reason; even to his pigeons! Ban me? It was dead without my banter! I wouldn't suggest doing it again! :nono :angel: :dodgy:

We are just teasing you Fiero. Nobody cares about those polls.

And for the record, I love your banters, whether I agree with them or not.:angel::hug

Incredibly puny. Polls are for fun. And don't make the Admins & Mods work harder than they already do. :nono

I know someone will think, I was seriously suggesting that he be banned as I forgot add half a dozen smileys at the end.

Fiero had fun voting after the match and I am having fun exposing him. There is nothing more to it. :chillout:

It was clear that there was an aspect of kidding to it, but you DID feel that you needed to call it out. You could have left it alone. Given that Fiero is just back from a time-out, you might have been more sensitive. No amount of emoticons makes up for saying it, btw. :idea:

If the idiot who made the poll had any idea how to make it close by the time the match started, none of this would need to be discussed.

And yes, I am that idiot.

Can it even be done? uzzled

I've never even created a poll here.

 

[nehmeth]

I was going to put one day as the length to keep it open, but chose two so that it wouldn't close early. Didn't think someone would vote after the fact.

 

[Kirijax]

I've tried to make a poll before but after a week there was nehmeth's vote and a few tumble weeds.

Of course, it was a poll to ask whether Nadal should wear orange or pink, but that's beside the point.

Back in the 70's that was a big deal getting away from "all white" in tennis! I think some kind of rule should come back into play! So many of these players are coming out looking like vagabonds; true homeless vagrants! Nadal looked as if he was going out to landscape instead of play the tennis match yesterday! That camouflage and patterned crap that Wawrinka and Monfils were sporting this past week was awful and tacky! :cover :nono :eyepop

While we're on the subject of shirts, this shirt has been cropping up everywhere. But it is horrible. The tackiest of tacky.

I have to give the award to Paes; Hingis' MD partner when they won the AO! His top looked like he was imitating a 10 pound bag of Domino Sugar!

Man, Djokovic is a freak this year. 1 GS and 3 M1000 titles already!

Marriage and fatherhood agree with him!

Side question: is Novak already allowed to skip masters events on the basis of his resume?

Djokovic had 604 wins in his career at the beginning of 2015 and so he barely met
the requirement of having 600 or more wins at the beginning of the calendar year that
would help him skip a mandatory Masters ATP 1000 tourney. But, I doubt that he will
actually make use of that.

Here is the rule:

1.08 Reduction of ATP World Tour Masters 1000 Commitment
A. A player’s number of ATP World Tour Masters 1000 commitment tournaments shall be reduced by one (1) tournament for reaching each of the following milestones:
1) 600 matches (as of 1 January of the commitment year);
2) 12 years of service;
3) 31 years of age (as of 1 January of the commitment year).
If all three (3) conditions are met then the player has a complete exemption from the ATP World Tour Masters 1000 player commitment.

All too late after running Borg out of the game with their silly requirements with someone of his stature! It was an embarrassment and lucky Lendl came along to fill the void left by his style of play! :dodgy:
