Players' names as new words?

[Tennis Miller]

In the same spirit as the fun Rockstar thread, I'd like to see some new words used in tennis commentary, based on players' names.

For example, for a flat rocket forehand, you'd say it was "Delpoed".

A top player who was just upset by a much lower ranked player would be described as "recently Darcised".

From 2004-07, you could say that many on the tour received a good "Rogering" (but that would also have a dual, albeit similar, meaning in the UK.)

You get the idea. And no easy/ cheap or obvious shots involving Nadal's underwear..(.unless incredibly clever...)

Anything to pass the time until the AO, right?

Cheers

If you touched the net and got called on it, it's a Nova-ouch. If you touch the net, and don't, it's a Sleazonic. (And if someone had ratted that out, it would have been a Sleazo-snitch.)

I know this is going back a ways, and is pretty obscure, but Raonic definitely caught some "Flach" for that.

Ken Flach, 1985 US OPEN mens doubles final -- ball hit his hair or shoulder . Google will autocomplete his name with "Ken Flach scandal".

More recently, we saw James Blake "Gonzoed" by the same type of move in the 2008 Olympics...

Cheers ( and thanks for playing along!)

The look on a player's face when a Nadal passing shot sails by them: Rafuddled.

When Djokovic storms back from behind: player has been "No-vacuumed."

Got ya. In the same way that Serena was Just-a-little-bitta-my-hand-touched-that-ball-ine'd by Henin.

When Karlovic sends a missile by you, would you have been "Doctored" ?

 

[Moxie]

I'll get in trouble for this: Safin, Nalbandian, Hewitt, Roddick…A conFederacy of dunces.

 

[Tennis Miller]

When Karlovic sends a missile by you, would you have been "Doctored" ?

Absolutely. Or you got Karlovic-timized.

Or how about you just became a "victim of Ivo-lution." (Actually that sounds like something Brad Gilbert would really say.)
