Circus (IPTL) - Act II

[GameSetAndMath]

Celebrate the Indian Leg of Circus with Anna in Saree

 

[Fiero425]

Now, injured Raonic pulls out of IPTL.

But, big day in Delhi. Today is the Fedal match.

I hope these aren't just "fake" injuries to get outta there! At least Nole didn't bother flying over, but it's a jip; ripping off their ticket holders! I'm sure some were counting on him playing against Nadal and Federer! Those "also-rans" trying to fill the shoes of Nole, Gasquet, and now Raonic may be no big deal to these patrons, but I know I wouldn't be happy! I learned years ago exhibitions, local events, and Team Tennis aren't taken seriously by the top echelon! I still remember Sampras losing to Ulrich a couple times and Lendl losing early to some nobody at our Chicago stop! Boy, that tells you how old I am! Not sure the men have played in this city since the 80's! :cover :angel: :dodgy: ;-)

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Milos's injury is probably believable. Afterall he was injured on and off throughout 2015 and missed several tourneys. Also, he did actually play some matches for the Mavericks.

Guys should have some rest instead of playing those ridiculous exhos

Entertaining stuff, thanks Pavlik, but Rafa's celebration? Sheesh! Talk about an over-reaction... :snicker

I'm from the "old school" and you just don't show up your opponent like that! Murray and Nadal are insufferable with the constant fist-pumping and gesticulation even if there's something like an unforced error or double fault! It's juvenile and moronic and shows so much disrespect for them and their opponent! I'd barely smile when shaking hands; guy feels bad enough losing to me, I diidn't need to rub it in! uzzled :nono :cover

Nadal is a narcissistic clown. It's obvious from watching him that he actually believes everybody is in love with him. Those soft porn ads he's putting out are ridiculous.

 

[Kieran]

Heh heh, Rafa's great.

Fiero, I was kidding about the celebration, it was all a good fun match played more for the crowd than any seriousness. it was good ole exo stuff - a complete waste of time too!

Nadal proved it several years ago when Rosol gave it all back to him in his upset at Wimbledon! Rafa did not like it and was written all over his face! I loved it; "how'd you like them apples Rafa?" He didn't learn his lesson so IMO, it's all coming back to him in spades with some horrendous losses over the last several years! Three huge upsets by F3 this season is all you need to hear about, but others occurred against players he's previously owned! He's had match points only to fall in humiliating style! I don't even need the defeats by qualifiers, WC's, and never-weres! Does that sound bitter? :lolz: :clap :laydownlaughing :angel: :dodgy: :cover

And they are starting again......boring, same old same old :nono :cover

Cheers to all and toast to all the Aces!!!!!! :clap

 

[GameSetAndMath]

After 3 legs are over, Indian Aces are leading by Big Margin.

Japan Warriors are at the bottom with a big margin too.

There is not much separating the other three teams, but their current order is
Singapore Slammers, UAE Royals and then Philippines Mavericks.

Tope two teams play the finals in Singapore on Dec. 20th.

It is likely to be Indian Aces vs. UAE Royals.

Speaking of the circus. How much $$ is it costing to get Goodall and company to call these matches?

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Roger non-committal about performing in 3rd Act of Circus. Rafa promises to return though.

Novak also lost to Karlovic before winning his fifth AO title this year. Is the Maestro sending us a message?
