Seems a bit dense to me! Imagine 7-6 (12) 7-6 (10) 7-6 (7). A few points the other way and you lost by the same score yet you'd say they were spanked in straight sets?! Spanked means demolished like Berdych was by Djokovic in Beijing 6-0 6-2.

2. spanked

To be beaten decisively in a contest, especially a sporting event.
Man, our team got spanked!

3. spanked

To utterly defeat your enemy.
I just "spanked" your whole team with a rocket!

No it's not AP. Maybe in your neck of the woods. Around here, it's closer to a beat down than a mere loss.

Look Nemeth, Enough of you being the other voice or the apologist for Front(he is a big boy0.. I know what I hear every day and weekend..I play ball in Chicago, Atlanta, Miami and California.. Do you play sports(basketball, tennis , football or even golf). I hear it at the public parks, counrty clubs and in the bars.. I don't need anymore corrections from you.. let it go

Don't fret it, A-P, I'm only yanking your chain. ;) Regardless, Cilic is gone in the first match. he hasn't been sharp since Flushing Meadows. Nor has Dr Evil, so this result came outta the blue...

Mr K, I never have a problem with You,Tented or Darth but I had enough of Nemeth trying to get me to buy into his way of thinking.. unlike Front.. I have my on opinions.

AP, that's nice that you travel, but you don't speak for the USA. Yes I play sports, and when someone gets spanked it's the same as getting a whipping... "Spanked" is what Nole did to Berdych, not what Ivo did to Cilic.

I don't need to be an apologist for Front, he used the dictionary. :snigger.

Nemeth. yes, I do travel.. but I speak for myself.. then why do you think that you can speak for the USA or do "you just speak for your neck of the woods" as you say

Yeah, even the great Pete suffered from this, though he was only 19, in fairness...

AP, the only reason I even responded was your preface "Dudes...here in the states"

So you weren't speaking for yourself.

And in my travels to Florida, Massachusetts, Jersey, New York, Texas - places where I've played competitive sports - "spanked" means a whipping, not pulling out a win 7-6. I have never heard it used the way you say.

That would be like calling a decent player... "great". :nono Yeah, I know they do that all the time.

Exactly. Has anyone ever done any study on that??

I dunno if there's any pattern to study. pete is one of the greats, obviously, but other greats didn't suffer this. Rafa, Borg, Federer, they all followed up the next year. With guys like Stan - who I expect will never win another - what's happening is maybe he finds the target on his forehead is a little too hot. Cilic is younger, but he too might just be an anomaly in an anomalous era...

:snigger You mean... like Gaudio?

No idea what will happen next for Cilic or Wawrinka. I thought Stan had the potential, but I never thought Cilic would ever have the mental toughness to pull out a major win.

"so this result came outta the blue"

You have to always be ware of the good doctor "evil" because he always dictates play, you are not alllowed to get into a rythmn, so you are pretty much at his mercy and hoping he is not cutting you so deep with his serves and strokes.. Cilic obviously played him tough but was unfortunate not to have antidope for the doctor's poisonous game.

I hadn't realized Front needed an apologist for giving his opinion...

Me either. Go figure. Some Wafa fans hate knows no bounds. You dispute the definition of the slang word "spanked" and welcome to World War 3! Someone else agrees with you and supposedly they're sticking up for you when in fact it's 'cos both of us never heard anyone regard spanked as simply winning, despite how close.

You never had a spanking session that went all the way? :snigger

You should adopt "My h8ers r My Motiv8ers" as your new signature... :snigger

Don't mind me, funny mood tonight... :laydownlaughing
