Early French Open Ruminations

[the AntiPusher]

I'm not sure if I said before that I read that Muzz has decided to spend some time in Mallorca to practice with Rafa and of course to learn more from the best clay player, I can't blame him

Rafa says to Andy," you know Andy what's up with your boy Front, he really has a bug up his arse about me, No!"

Murray's states to Rafa, "You know mate, we over here in Great Britain can't stand that annoying bloke Front either."

 

[El Dude]

be a good laugh if thiem won the French open. oh how we would lol.

I would love that. Unfortunately, he's way down the list. Heere's my order of most likely to win the FO:

Djokovic
Nadal
Wawrinka
Murray
Federer
Tsonga
Nishikori
Ferrer
Thiem
Monfils

ferrer and monfeeeeee ? ferrer is way past it and injured, monfeeeeee is not fit enough to win.

they can't be considered outsiders even,

Other than those on that list, who do you think has a better chance of winning RG? Maybe Thiem goes ahead of Ferrer, but after those first eight, who has a better chance?

nick k. but that's a really outside chance. :s

 

[Carol]

I understand that Milos is practicing in Mallorca too, perfect place to do it

 

[El Dude]

I forgot about Nicky K, which is ironic considering I'm working on an article about him. Duh.

 

[Mile]

I would say Djoker, Wawec, Muzza.

Hilarious, AP. More likely he asked "why are you pretending to be a good guy? We all know you're not. I even told the media I know you're taking something and here you are trying to pretend like nothing has happened. That $h1t is dope, man." Rafa: "Iz the true, no? I never took nuttink my whole career. Muscles just appear overnight from nowhere and disappear again into thin air same way, no? Iz nuttink at all to be concerned about, Andy, my friend. Iz completely normal, no?"

Front, poor guy, you are completely burned out, come on man, try to focus more on your fav who is .....whatever and with all the things are happening and the news he probably is not too happy :cover

 

[dante1976]

Front is just realistic and that's a big no no in this "modern times"... Just "consume and obey", be a good citizen don't ask "stupid" questions, just ride the hype and be a "happy camper"!?

Personally I think that at least 90% of every single high end athlete out there are on "something"

They did it for last 50+ years (Olympic games as obvious example, where everything supposed to be "traditional and fair-play"), why you would think that they'll stop now??? Now when amounts of $$$ involved are much, much higher??? Pretty much illogical, no???

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

I want if anything for Djokovic to win the French, so he can win 4 in a row. Something that would separate him from Rafa and Federer as they have never achieved it and most likely will never achieve it.

That is exactly the reason why I don't want him to win this year. I don't mind if he completes career slam some other time. :devil

I wouldn't have even commented on this thread, Carol only for AP's post above to me. I'm surely allowed reply when taunted with silliness.

taunted with silliness

Front. You have to be the most miserable poster in recent history. This is just for competitive banter, nothing more. Kieran suggested that you step away from the keyboard and Relax, however you still persist on this utter madness. This dislike you have for Rafa is beyond troll like, its been a 4-5 plight that is "taunted with silliness".

Consider this AP. If you hadn't posted your comment about me, I wouldn't have replied. Sounds simple and it is. Anyway, nothing miserable at all about me or my posting. Many here agree 100% that Nadal has used something and frankly no matter how many times you see photos of him looking like a mini version of the incredible hulk and now like Bambi with no muscles you still don't get it. That's not my fault and that does not make me miserable. It makes you naive and blind.

What do you mean Front? I know this thread doesn't allow to talk about those things that you are refering but if you would continue attacking Rafa i have something to say about your fav that you won't like too much....just saying

Front, I NEVER spend my time looking at the physiques of male athletes, that type of behavior is usually something that is for men who serve time in our prison system. However, Its true I have commented about the ladies bodies :basiate

 

[Carol]

And by the way Front, as you can see Rafa with "the incredible muscles hulk" and without "like Bambi" he can win

Say what you want Carol. He's ("my fav") never bulked up massively and then lost it all and you have way less evidence of dodgy circumstances surrounding him than frankly any of the top players and his stamina is poor over long matches. He gets tired after tough matches and loses them badly in the 5th set or loses his next match badly and he's never been a big, strong guy. There's literally very little for you to go by. He wins matches way faster as he plays more attacking tennis and therefore has spent far less time on court in his career and has only had one surgery his entire career and that's why he's still playing very well for his age but that's it. And btw, the site has no issue with comparing a once muscular, bulky guy who has now shrunk to the size of a pretty weedy, flat chested guy. It's merely spot the difference photos. And it is a MASSIVE difference. It's a wonder you're all so blind to not even notice or question it. None of the media even have to guts to even question it either.

Anyway, bedtime for me and it's weird all you hardcore Nadal fans seem to think I'm "attacking him". What the hell is wrong with someone saying the guy was pretty huge (for a tennis player anyway) before and now tiny? Nothing. That's what. Nothing. It should be discussed and it is being discussed. The fact that you don't like it does not mean I'm attacking your favourite player or that I'm miserable or a troll as AP stated. That's all just lazy commenting 'cos you know you have no comeback. Yes he was pretty huge before and yes, he is now pretty damn different looking, small and no longer muscular in any way like before. Sorry to upset you with the truth

What is 'true' for you? who cares about more or less muscles, he had to lose weight because his knee but he still look strong because his body frame is like his father and uncles. He never had a great serve so maybe that was the reason not finishing the points faster like Federer who has better serve but even that he still has played many long matches too and by the way he didn't look so tired like you pretend, he lost matches because his opponent (Rafa) has played better than him, as clear like crystal so don't try to find those poor excuses

Carol it's useless trying to get Front to understand, He is incapable of comprehensive intellectual points to why Rafa dropped weight. The players have respect for each other however radical Fed fans like Front are always gonna be bias even though their Beloved Fed recently said anyone who speaks of Rafa's demise are neanderthals
