What gives?

You're an idiot. That's what. And a liar too. What gives with that?

This shows simply, that you are mentally retarded and incompetent. I've proven with evidence about your spinning out, lies and you mouth off with nothing but foul sh!t.

I told you i beat you to pulps.

Mammy call you for beddy boys, did she? This seems a bit abrupt and shortwinded, even for you.

You made a statement, and failed to back it up.

Again.

Then you bored us all to tears. Well done. Now pull your trousers up and step away from the computer, you're making an awful mess... :cover

You know, apart from the bit of give and take which I don't mind, isn't it a bit sinful to use words like "retard" and "mentally retarded" on a public forum?

It doesn't bother me to be called names by you because you're default setting is to be ugly, but do you ever sit and wonder what kind of chap you are, that you write words like this?

Seriously.

It doesn't bother you how low your levels are?

I can be genuinely concerned about you, because I think that people like you are most likely damaged so much they're dangerous to themselves...

this was when someone messaged me a while ago

"hi ricardo,

I have to say I completely agree with your assessment of Novak's 2011 vs Federer's 2006. Only someone with an agenda will argue the issue.

I wouldn't bother arguing with Kieran though. The guy has a pathological need to have the last word, and he'll accuse you of racism or feminism to deflect if he's lost the discussion. "

sorry to say this, but you are a ret*** - as i said, definitely mentally.

Of course they did. But still, think about your language. That kind of stuff only reflects bad on you and it could be hurtful to people reading.

As for accusing you of "feminism", well, your friend has a strange sense of humour...

Wind it in fellas. It's pretty clear by now you're not very fond of one another (understatement) but some people might want to post on the subject matter. If you want to flame each other 24/7 do it on the chat thread, by PMs or better still give it a rest.

I'd personally go with Karlovic if you're looking at the serve as an isolated shot. Sampras probably had the best all round service game (the whole package) and best second serve (in isolation) out of any of the TOP players in history.

But who would you pick if the Aliens invaded and Clint Eastwood was nowhere to be found?

Just kidding. That's precisely my opinion too. You even used my "isolation" word, which is an important distinction as far as choosing a particular shot, especially the serve, since it isn't dependent on other factors such as footwork, movement, getting in position, setting it up, etc...

But another thing to consider is, who is more likely to put his serve in against the alien dudes? Meaning, who has a better career first serve percentage? Not even that...who has a better percentage of putting the first serve in , in important , stressful situations, like close out games?

Serving against aliens when planet's water is on the line is stressful business, no?;). We should research percentages . You can have the best serve ever but if you are netting it when it matters....:nono

In that case I'd still go with Ivo since he almost never nets, ever, which is the most remarkable thing about his 150 mph serve.
