I don't even know how old they are?

this is a good time to get them out on the tennis court if they are approaching 3 years in age.

they were born after Wimbledon 2009, I was looking at the final on youtube and noticed fair mirka in the players box and she was really massive in size, so the twins were getting ready to fly out.

Roger really looks great as a father in all pictures with his kids. I remember the ones when he won Madrid in 2012 and went to celebrate with the twins. Some sports stars look a bit weird and unfamiliar being around their kids and need time to grow into their new role which is understandable but with Fed it seems so natural as if he's been a father for decades.

 

[ClayDeath]

affirmative. no doubt.

 

[Moxie]

They're summer babies, so I'm pretty sure they are just over 3. Maybe next year or so for the racquets?

BTW, I think the Nadal/Djokovic exhibition in Chile is tonite, but I can't find any news, even on twitter. Anyone have a peep as to it?

they are beautiful kids. they just done know how luck they are right now. roger is going to worth a cool $1 billion one day.

is his wife from the Czech republic?

Mirka is Czech background, but Swiss.

 

[ClayDeath]

ok its time for a trivia question then:


no cheating and no looking it up. what about martina hingis?

is she swiss or was she born somewhere else?

Didn't check I promise but I believe she was born in Slovakia and hence why she played doubles with Daniela Hantuchova.

 

[Front242]

PS: I thought Mirka was Slovakian too.

 

[Moxie]

PS: I thought Mirka was Slovakian too.

OK, I looked her up. She was born in Czechoslovakia, in the part that is now the Slovak Republic, so that's why I thought Czech. And she immigrated to Switzerland when she was 2.

 

[ClayDeath]

ok time for the next trivia question. and this one you cant look it up. baron knows the answer to this but no cheating. you cant ask him:

name the only tennis pro ever to quit the sport for 20 years to take up farming. and then return to tennis with decent results.

exactly how tall was the tallest and the oldest Spanish speaking player to win the RG crown?

what country was he from? was he a lefty or a righty?

who did he defeat to win the RG crown?

Is the tallest and oldest Spanish-speaker the same person? (BTW, I have no idea who the farmer was.)

 

[ClayDeath]

affirmative. he was 6 foot 4 and he was 31 when he won the French open.

noah might have been around 6 foot 4 too but he was a lot younger when he won his RG crown.

 

[ClayDeath]

nobody will ever know who the farmer was.

except for baron of course. he lives in Australia. he may know about this dude.

 

[ClayDeath]

que pasa sports fans.

let the good times roll.

 

[britbox]

Yeah, you told me who the farmer was before. I got it wrong first time around.

 

[ClayDeath]

it was Rex Hartwig. I still need to look up exactly what he achieved when he came back.

the legend has it that he never picked up a tennis racquet for 20 years while farming.

 

[britbox]

Happy Thanksgiving to all those in the United States. :celeb:

 

[Moxie]

Thanks, BB! Yes, Happy Thanksgiving to all who are celebrating it.

that feeble comet has broken up..or melted :s

so much for comet of the century..didn't even make it round the sun. I suppose that's the problem with a blob of gas/rock/ice passing near the sun..

the sun is quite warm, so they claim., there is another one next year and we (the planet earth) are going to try and land a probe ON THE COMET..:speechless::emperor:

if we can make that happen the whole planet will cheer (probably).
