How was Nole's wrist? Strapped?

Wrist seems almost fine, but I wonder what kind of injuries did Ralph had today considering that he lost to his pigeon. I don't think he lost when healthy. :)

His neighbor's dog died, and Rafa always referred to that dog as "my second son" (even though he doesn't have a first son), so he was emotionally scarred. I heard that has a history of screwing up people's clay seasons. That, and old players on PED's.

One thing you can bet on, Rafa attended that dogs funeral... ;)

Lame and bad taste to make jokes over people who died.

But it's perfectly fine to use people's death as an excuse two months after the fact, especially when their deaths didn't prevent a player from reaching a GS final. I guess you only get visions of your dead loved one before a second serve on match point, or while attempting to finish a put away volley close to the net and you can't control your footwork.

Yeah Mastoor, hang around. You have to able to take it if you're so fond of dishing it out. Do more research before you post, maybe. A lot more. ;)

But nobody is annoyed to see you post, and you have as much right here as the next person...

Actually mastoor is one of the most informed posters around here when it comes to Nole.

When it comes to Nole, I'll take your word for it. When it comes to anything else, he has to be often forcefully reacquainted with what's true. But as was said above, we all make mistakes. I don't mind Mastoor, or anybody else, for that matter. I find him funny, more than anything...

Actually it was Nole who brought up the dead, and his fans who use it as an excuse, which is crass. Did Nole attend either funeral?

Let's ask Mastoor. He knows Novak better than anyone (old sport!).

Although after being asked over a dozen times to post links to his great knowledge, he says he can't remember where he read it. So one of us has to go look up the links.

Rafa fans stayed around to post during both matches today. Also stayed around after the AO, discussing for days, even though there was rather a lot of bile directed at Rafa for days. You posted directly to some of us when you came on to gloat after Miami. If you came around more, you'd remember that folks here don't going in for fire-bombing posts with untruths, no matter their allegiances to players. Please behave…thank you.

Why would I lie about something that can be easily checked and make myself look like a liar? I remembered it totally wrongly obviously and I appologised for that. I am aware that i will have to appologise for the same thing each time I login.

Though i must say it is tiring to hear the same sort of things each time I come here and I don't even get to talk about tennis because I get forced to talk about other things. I asked last time directly if I am not welcome here and i was told I was, but today again I got the same sort of 'welcome'. So consequently I don't think I would like to come back again.

I'm not buying this put-upon act from you. After Miami, and we teased you about showing up only when Novak wins, I said my apologies and tried to engage you in an actual tennis conversation. You never responded. And you never engaged with anyone about the tennis.

Yes, you apologized for being completely wrong about Rafa fans. That was good. You will not have to keep apologizing for the same thing if you refrain from doing it again. You don't need to talk about any of this if you would actually talk about tennis. Starting now would be good. I have reminded you that we try to keep a decent discourse here, and showing up with preconceived notions from other trashy boards and applying them here doesn't really fit.

New start, Mastoor…now it's up to you.



Well Moxie, before even reading this I posted a pm to you from which you will see that is not how I see things.


All the best to all of you and goodbye.

Have thicker skin, especially if you're going to be controversial. Please, don't play the victim, nobody's stupid enough to fall for it. Remember your Nadal on performance enhancers thread? What do you expect from people when you post this sort of crap?

Keep doing your shtick. Nobody's ever asked you to stop. Just don't play the victim when you get called out on it.
