Rafa Nadal Presser

Sascha Zverev Presser

Can't you see the obvious? Murray withdraw is part of a much larger picture. Murray is huge tennis talent but his results are compromised by his not-so-secret political activities, and the time lost going to meetings and rallies made him pay a heavy price on his career, but a price that he is willing to pay gladly. His family is known to be part of the Scottish/Feminist/Homesexualist league. His father was known as the one who famously tried bomb BBC after a news piece that explained Scotland's results in tennis, which was later discovered to part of a planned series of leaks. His mother is known for her tries to objectify male tennis players,
while supporting the idea that tennis doubles should be played only by homo afective couples.

Given that background, it is obvious that Murray, a long time supporter of the equal pay cause, also a known communist who once tried to force all ATP players to work on the tennis tournaments facilities, would try everything in his reach to prevent a block-buster final between the two role models of the Neo-Con world, Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal (a.k.a "the Nike Dolls"). Such a final could boost man tennis ratings to unprecedented levels, and calculations by the Scottish/Feminist/Homesexualist league indicate that even in the case of one the players giving birth on court while the other dopes herself while sitting on the chair during the WTA final wouldn't be enough to even put the two events in the same scale of ratings. Hence their only option was to wait for the draw to come out, thanking the fact that they were able to spook Federer out of the Cincinnati tournament by the use of fake terrorist threats, thus guaranteeing Murray's #2 seed.

I don't know why this is even being discussed. PMac is a notorious butt licker and a troll. Wouldn't put much stock in anything he says.

Rafa would say that he is nervous about playing you. He would say, Front is a player who works out very hard to get his muscles, he is very opinionated and really want to be correct about what he feels..it will be a match against a player who will be trying to win and that makes it a very difficult match to prepare for. I will do my best , thank you very much.

Acourse Rafa is gonna say that he prefers not to face Roger early because he knows it will take everything he has and more to defeat Roger at his current level on hardcourts..However, Roger said he would not be able to defeat Rafa on the clay especially at RG.

[tongue in cheek]. How dare you mock my Rafa.
You are a good Rafa impersonator, in print anyway. [First paragraph]
Rafa has stated plenty of times that he would rather play someone other than Fed with the usual explanation that already they've played so many times. This current explanation did take me by surprise but Rafa is usually candid in his pressers or he answers a question with a non sequitur.

Is anyone else having issues with the US Open website?

 

[Riotbeard]

I predict that someone will win. I await a robust argument on my position. Hello all!

It is not that clear. What happens when both the finalists are injured and simultaneously withdraw. :lulz2:

Just the type of incessant forum arguing I expected on my first post

Hi, Denis!

Yeah, not such an upset...I even picked it in my draw challenge.

I guess you picked Nadal to win. Do you think he has as good as a shot as 2010/2013? I picked Kyrgios against zverev in the final.

How'd you guess...I did! I don't think he's got as good a shot as 2010, but 2013 Novak was in the draw. The competition is less this year, so that's a positive. I don't like the Kyrgios v. Zverev pick because I think they're both too green to make it that far. I picked Cilic from the bottom half.

Hi Denis!
I agree, Haase is higher ranked because he got lucked out in Montreal by reaching a SF in a master, he did not even dream about.
But some layers were going to benefit by as many injuries at the top level and Haase was definitely one of them.

Yeah I see that. It will be an interesting tourney. The new kids will eventually make their ground so I figured it would be better now that Djokovic is not around.

And Andy and Stan, let's be honest, if all were healthy. It's true there's a lot of opportunity for a new winner.

I have never seen Tennys Sandgren play.
I just switched on the TV to check who is playing.
And now I am wondering.
Who is this 46 year old truck driver from USA, and why is he playing so well for a truck driver?
No insult to to the guy, nothing against him, but he even has the famous trucker's cap.
It's a surprise that he doesn't chug beer during the changeovers.

 

[DarthFed]

The annoying Ferret is in trouble.i didn't see that coming, I actually thought he'd have a good chance to at least reach the semi.

 

[kskate2]

@DarthFed Deep horseshit now. Down 2 sets to 1 and a break in the 4th

Apparently he is 26

Jack sock, Ryan Harrison, Sam querrey (although he actually improved) look like they all eat really unhealthy. One of your answers to 'what happened to American tennis'. They can't even get the diet straight.

Tennys just won the third set tho.
