BTW,
This is the first time that neither Serena nor Venus Williams has advanced past the second round at Wimbledon,when both have played the tournament ( all things considered it has been an amazing run).
That should tell these old bags something! J/b they have legedary status doesnt mean draw spots should be held open for years to come! :lol6:

Unfortunately, three players thought of as contenders (Iga, Garbage and Aryna) are in the same quarter.
No idea why you like calling anyone "garbage," let alone Garbiñe.

1. That is not a nickname that I came up for her. Someone else in the forum did and it stuck.
2. If "TF" wants to institute a rule that all players can only be referred to by their official names by all members, I would be happy to abide by that; but it cannot
be a special rule just for Garbage or just for some members of the board.

It didn't "stick," you just like it. Who else uses it? That's on you. I don't see any rule about opaque or insulting nicknames, but I do think that we have the right to complain about them. We have our opinions about them, and why not? We have opinions about everything. I used to tell Bonaca that I didn't like him calling Zverev a "fake German," for example. Didn't mean he had to stop. Just my opinion. I'm not sure what you think is in any way cute or clever (or even original, since you say it didn't come from you,) about calling Muguruza "Garbage." But if you must, you do you. But some of us find it offense, and we're within our rights to say so. Though it would surprise me if you find it completely perplexing why "Garbage," as a nickname, seems like an insult. Is that wholly lost on you?

Thanks Moxie I also find it Offensive to call anyone Garbage it is a disgusting word to apply to any human being period.

Grigor Dimitrov told Jenny Drummond today on Wimbledon channel that he and Serena Williams had talked about playing mixed doubles at Wimbledon this year.

Look, I have all kinds of opinions about nicknames that people use around here. And sometimes it's merely as innocuous as that I don't know who they mean. K said something yesterday about "Drama V" or somesuch, and I thought she meant Vera Zvonera, but I wasn't sure, so I didn't post. Even though I had an opinion about that match.

And then there are the insulting ones. What bothers me about that is that folks hide behind some notion that, "oh, I didn't mean anything by it." When it is clear that they did.

The Williams sisters are going to be like John McEnroe in their late career, as in the old adage: "Best doubles team is anyone and John McEnroe." I love that Kyrgios wants to play with Venus. And now Grigor wants a chance to get close to history, too. Why not...they might actually win a title at a Major. :)

Exactly,especially when a poster uses the same 'so call nick name' over and over again like Garbage
