I'd like to see the highlights just to watch them shaking hands at the end. I'm still chuckling after last weeks handshake... :snicker
Handshakes and sportsmanship in general are overrated. I liked that "handshake" last week, bad enough they make them shake hands at all.
I totally agree. Although I think they should shake hands after, I never like when they kiss and cuddle, and tickle each other under the chin, at the net after a match, as if defeat was no big deal... :nono
but it doesn't mean defeatr is no big deal, it measn that even though they're really diappotned, they're not going to be so consumed by it int he moment that they forget to be a decent huma being.
i
like it when novak does everything he can to beat an opponent, but at the end he'll give them a hug, win or lose.
[does that mean he's not dpesreately disppoitned? no. he's just being classy, not letting his dispapoitne,tn over shadow the fact that that, such as when he was defated by Stan at the fo, or andy at wd, he actually lkies and repsects these guys he's playing.]
I like the handshake. it amrks the disticntion between the warrior oppostion on the court, and the humanity off it. it symbolises this: 'even though i've done everything to beat you during the match, now the match is over, you're a fellow human ebing, and i respect you.'
the people who say 'i like a bit of needle, wasn't it great when the top playrs used to ahte each other? no, it wasn't. it was boring. yawn. there's enough hate in the world already.
