since nym locked my other tennis thread, and was a jerk about it, i guess i'll have to create a fucking sticky thread to just talk about tennis.

gael monfils is about to play novak djokovic, it'll probably be a sweet match.

8/19/2011 7:08:57 PM

let me know how it goes

8/19/2011 8:35:09 PM

ATP Winston-Salem 250 is next week, qualifying starts tomorrow. You can get in tomorrow with 5 cans of food.. or just 10 bucks.

Then it's US Open time.

8/20/2011 8:56:17 AM

8/20/2011 11:12:11 AM

oh didnt even know you bounced outta town? where to

8/20/2011 11:14:22 AM

8/20/2011 11:21:27 AM

lol... so a lot of tennis there then

8/20/2011 11:24:42 AM

it's been tough /message_topic.aspx?topic=617048

8/20/2011 2:48:02 PM

thats the best story ever hahahah

8/21/2011 8:42:59 PM

I was wrong. I should have left the other thread alone. I honestly thought you were just being a dick with the way you worded the thread.

My bad.

8/21/2011 8:47:42 PM

wow, i didn't expect that. thank you.

8/21/2011 11:12:19 PM

buddy of mine met some girl form Duke on craigslist, played some tennis and ended up fucking her

8/22/2011 12:17:40 AM

well that's sure a lot cooler than my experience.

8/22/2011 12:22:19 AM

yeah pretty funny story with the eye patch guy showing up wasted

8/22/2011 3:55:19 AM

got tickets for the W-S Open Championship match on Saturday

8/22/2011 9:03:02 AM

Sucks Mardi Fish dropped out of the W-S Open ... he was having a really good summer. Getting Blake and especially Roddick to play was huge for the tournament though. Thinking I'll head over there at some point this week.

8/22/2011 9:25:26 AM

so how do the tickets work? would love to see roddick play but the schedule isnt out yet until qualifying is done it looks like?

8/22/2011 11:19:19 AM

Quote :

"Mardi Fish"

hope that was autocorrect

8/22/2011 12:15:30 PM

Ehhh, Mardi ... Mardy ... whatever. He's still in Winston-Salem, just not playing. Kind of odd.

Lleyton Hewitt is playing tonight. Might have to go check that out.

8/22/2011 2:04:23 PM

if he was a she, then maybe "Mardi"

8/22/2011 2:23:05 PM

Roddick rolled tonight, as did Isner. James Blake and Hewitt are already eliminated.

^^^^Here's the schedule for tomorrow. http://www.winstonsalemopen.com/tournament_information/tournament_schedule/

8/23/2011 11:38:18 PM

James Blake hasn't been good since he cut his hair.

8/24/2011 6:09:11 PM

i thought this madison keys girl might be cute while she was playing... but she is not. she's also 16, so i'm too old to really look twice at her, which is weird.

8/29/2011 3:48:12 PM

Wimbledon champion Kvitova OUT, Sharapova in trouble against young Brit Heather Watson.. Sharapova's the 2nd favorite for the US open behind Serena

8/29/2011 4:09:25 PM

god dammit i have to go, but i really want to watch sharapova look cute and lose to this 19 year old.

8/29/2011 4:51:17 PM

yeah about that

8/29/2011 5:22:49 PM

see, god dammit, i missed what might have been a good ending to the match.

i'm about ready to see sharapova lose to one of these teenagers. she pulled the same shit at roland garros, and honestly i'm starting to feel bad for the teenagers.

8/29/2011 6:51:22 PM

i'll tell you guys what, for my money it doesn't get better than the patrick and john mcenroe duo.

8/29/2011 7:17:19 PM

that fist thing sharapova does is kind of cute; I didn't realize she made the fist constantly; it almost made me excuse her insane screaming that pmac claimed was unbearable inside the stadium, it makes me realize how aggressive and offensive maria is, seems moreso than anyone on the women or men's game

8/30/2011 4:07:26 PM

Maria Kirilenko won.

8/30/2011 5:00:34 PM

I'll watch Wozniacki matches... but they better not show that rat-faced Northern Ireland fuck much

8/30/2011 7:37:37 PM

golubev has been up a break in all 3 sets, 7 set points in the 2nd and he still can't get a set. jeesh.

VAMOS RAFA

8/30/2011 9:40:48 PM

Golubev is freaking killing it

8/30/2011 10:01:19 PM

yeah this is good.

8/30/2011 10:03:43 PM

i liked that 'slap shot' he pulled out of his ass in the 3rd set . it looked like it had to be >130mph. the expression on his face was "holy fuck rafa you've hit back 99% of everything i've slammed at you tonight but you are sure as fuck are not touching this one"

maximum pwnage on that shot. (and he hit it in too) motherfucker was on fire for a few points.

8/30/2011 11:11:47 PM

FYI the girl that beat Li Na, supposedly one of the hottest women on the tour was the girl that used to have those giant sized boobs, best win of her career

8/30/2011 11:33:17 PM

how long is devvarman going to keep this up?

8/31/2011 2:14:53 PM

damn I was hoping they wouldn't show any bartoli matches here

8/31/2011 3:22:35 PM

wooo another big upset for christina mchale, the most promising youngster we have

8/31/2011 3:59:26 PM

wow I didn't even know roddick was playing right now for his ranking to be that bad, poor guy, federer just grinded whatever was left of his career in to dust with that last wimbledon final

8/31/2011 7:46:07 PM

He'd been out for month with an ab injury before Cincy, which he was jettisoned from early. He looked good last week in Winston, really good at times. Isner knocked him out in the semis. Looking good so far...

8/31/2011 8:02:14 PM

all due respect to john isner, but you cannot simultaneously "look good" and get knocked out of a tournament by john isner.

edit: nevermind i got it. yeah he's a handsome dude, but sadly he's not good enough to even be in the discussion for a major, really.

[Edited on August 31, 2011 at 8:43 PM. Reason : .]

8/31/2011 8:38:25 PM

speaking of john isner, he just got his first break of the match and is winning 7-6, 7-6, 2-6, 4-3.

first break in the fucking fourth set, and he was up a set!

8/31/2011 8:41:06 PM

^yeh dude

it's crazy but i guess the guy is used to matches like that against good competition.

i got to play the dude when we were 16/or 15 in a rotary tourney here in NC. got blasted with donut/twinkie (6-0/6-1) in the first or second round. i think i got maybe 2 or 3 points off his serve all match. one was him double faulting too.

anyway, he ended up winning that tourney against the then '#1' seed in the state in our age group. it was 7-6, 7-6. no breaks of serve. so i guess the guy has just always made his living like that

[Edited on August 31, 2011 at 9:14 PM. Reason : z]

8/31/2011 9:13:32 PM

haha you know now that you mention it, i guess it's a no-brainer that this dude has played the longest match ever. he has a monster serve and a horrible return, he's designed to just trade holds.

8/31/2011 9:28:14 PM

roddick getting worked. but is up a set still... probably going to 5

8/31/2011 10:03:33 PM

too big

8/31/2011 10:47:34 PM

lot of talk about Roddick's interview w/ Fowler, but I didn't find it that groundbreaking

9/1/2011 12:56:18 PM

Caro's on

Too bad college football is on in 5 minutes.
