Are these meant to be US Open winners? (If so, I was wondering what Borg is doing in the pic)

A "Heritage Celebration" (I want to meet the guy who came up with that. :snigger)

World #1's!

Today I take my leave of The Castle. My troops are massed on the banks of the Hudson, ready to destroy. :mad:

And I'll be resting from posting, until Master Ralph recaptures New Yawk or is carried away on his shield...

Have a good break. Hope to see you back on the boards before the weekend. :)

:p

You never know! But you can be sure that if I'm not, then I won't be back before the following weekend either!

Vamos, Lady Moxie!

Look out your window in NY - there's a left-hand storm brewing and it won't slow down until it's swept the title! :D

some kind of emirates atp #1 rankings gathering. probably the 40th anniversary of the emirates atp ranking system.


they were all able to achieve the world #1 rank.


I saw the pic the other day on facebook and made a quick copy.

see you soon general.

:D:D:D


hurry back sooner since you know those superstitions never work.

in fact you may even end up jinxing him with your ritual now. especially now that you have declared your intentions.

I say scratch the ritual at once and stay with us.

its a shame that borg did not get to play one of those 4 u.s. open finals on grass.

he probably would have won it.

He played one on clay, buddy, and lost! So grass wouldn't be a given...

It's as much to skip the noise and static and focus on the game, but Rafa has told Lord Wedgie to fight the war in other ways. "Prepare your Hammer!" He said. "No?"

I said, "si senor!" :mad:

was it one or 2? it was that green clay they used to have at forest hills.



the great argentine assassin---vilas--would become the first from his country to snatch a u.s. open title on such a surface in 1977 against none other than the great james scott Connors.

the belville basher they used to call Connors.

there can be only one explanation:

borg was too spent mentally and physically by the time he made it new York.


it took a lot to win both rg and wimby time and again.

that is what some people do not realize.

very difficult to dominate the whole tour ALL year long on every single surface since the season basically never ends.
