Thank you very much, sibling of 17th, you're too kind!
Happy birthday to you too - and to Smasher08 and all those born on Oct 17th
Happy belated, my fellow 17ers. I now have regular internet access restored and together we shall soar with the Eagle as he roosts at the O2!

Federer has qualified for London with Tsonga losing, unoffically.
I think if Raonic wins the title *and* Wawrinka/Gasquet both make SF then its not possible.

I was GOATing down 5th ave earlier tonight and I walked into the Rolex store and asked the cashier to let me try on whatever piece The GOATChild(tm) from Basel wears and he said Rogi has over 600 different GOATworthy timepieces. So I tried on a Submariner Serti style gold watch and could feel a Basalt like rush amplifying my soul. Rolex + Rogi = Extreme Sexi, tweeners and slices on the grass or blue clay...sexy watch for a GOAT or a rising 4.5 with limited potential.
Still loving Rogi. Mad love. Truly mad, deep man crushing love.

Hi guys,
Back to the forum after four months missed you all! I thought let my first post after the break be here in this hallowed thread about our darling Roger Federer
I hope our Roger Federer will carve the magic number seven in the hallowed courts of London, like how he did it seven in the same London on a sunday evening in July 2012
Allez Roger Federer!
Together with you, always, forever

How do you feel after the last match of the season?
Just tired. I was hoping something better to play, but Nadal is still complicated. If only because he is a lefty.
Their first season record?
There was a difficult year. Although it started well and went well to the end, but the months from March to October were more likely to forget, despite the quarter-finals in Paris and the Victory Hall.
So 2013 was a lost year?
than a year is lost. There was even an interesting season in these circumstances. While it's not fun to be injured. But since I had to go through, everything had to scrutinize. The back problems kept on long or came back quickly. And I also suffered setbacks as otherwise rare in the previous ten years. But it was still a casual experience - to see who and how did I even dealt with this situation. I could barely move even partially correct and was still criticized.
How satisfied are you with the latest indoor tournaments in Basel, Paris and London?
, the balance is good, better than expected. Of course I would have liked to win a tournament, but that was perhaps too much to ask. I reached a final and two semi-finals, beating top 10 players without playing my best tennis. If the surcharge or the forehand would have been more solid, the results could be much better. But if I'm going a-breaked or twice in each set, I can not win against the best. After all, I could now concentrate fully on tennis for three weeks, and the body gave me no problems. This was during the months of being different. This is a big step and makes you want more. The confidence is back.
What would be your satisfactory in 2014?
About five titles to win, that's fun. The ranking interests me less if it is not about rank first But it would be nice to be in the top 4 or top 8 in order to be well placed.
How will you spend the next few weeks until the end of December?
Now I am especially on the holidays that I've earned. Then I will prepare the new season and I hope that I can work through four weeks without setbacks hard. Also I am looking forward. For I have lost many days of training, I felt in the match.
Will you try again racquets with larger clubhead?
sure I will.
Could London with the success Wawrinkas increase your desire to compete in 2014 in Serbia in Davis Cup?
, the situation remains as two years or six months ago, I had to prove anything Stan, I know that he can beat the best. I'll have to make a decision in the next few weeks. At the moment but I have no idea how this will turn out.

TDK was making homphobic remarks and that is why it got removed.

Watched this clip just now (had seen it numerous times before but still) and it is awesome, the Eagle soaring in his prime

Woke up feeling extra-sexi, GOATing myself in the evanescent hours when Morpheus had unleashed me from his somnolent grip, those precious minutes of half-remembered Annoconian man-breasts shielded from virginal eyes by prudently placed Rolexes, Mercedes Benz insignias and melted Lindt truffles — and then from the Moet-fueled ether, whispered words of the waking children of Basalt telling me to rise up and turn No. 18 from the specter of dreams into beautiful reality.
Oops, let me revise that …
Woke up feeling like JoelDali, in dire need of the wisdom of the Golden Eagle and realizing, with a certain amount of shame and regret, that I had not logged on to Tennis Warehouse in what seemed like years but was more realistically about six business days.
But what to my horrified eyes do I see but the insidious enshacklement of one of our great threads! Like the barbarous mujahideen standing before the majestic Buddhas of Bamiyan in befuddlement, somehow the gatekeepers of online tennis rectitude summoned the spirit of Mullah Omar and — in the blink of an eye (aptly only one in the case of the monocular jihadist) — a monument to our culture was gone. Luckily, from the grave, our thread has arisen, even if it remains a mere phantasm of its former self.
Perhaps it was time, with Nadal’s surprising physical intransigence this year. However, whatever ascent he may claim in the rankings has to be offset by his continuing decline on the issue of sustenance. It is in this guise that I address Rafa on the eve of the most dangerous food day of the year for Americans. Do the Spanish have an equivalent of Thanksgiving? If so, Rafa surely would be thankful if the silverware is plastic, the poultry bas been butchered to infinitesimal pieces and the sippy-cups have been artfully arrayed on the festive dinner table.
In that spirit, I offer Nadal Gustatory Decline Poetry:
What’s Eating the Bull?
I give thanks to Uncle Toni and this steak that he pre-chewed.
I don’t want to retire from a match for an injury due to food.
Why, oh why, can a little banana take me out in my prime?
I have to admit it — Fed is the best food digester of all time.
Novak conquered the gluten and saw his confidence grow,
but I would suffer a horrific death on a Food Network show.
With my two-handed backhand I was never great at slice,
but my latest knife attempt left me holding a bag full of ice.
I’d take that any day over the burn of a Japanese hot plate.
No wonder the priests gave me last rites every time I ate.
I sit down at the dinner table and always I am aware.
Even before I sit down: I have to be careful of that chair!
I only eat out with Andy Murray in restaurants nice and bright.
The sight of his face in full consumption will kill any appetite.
I got an invitation from Rogi — as usual going for the winner.
He’s in New York City and inviting me to Thanksgiving dinner.
But I had to sadly decline — I really fear the head-to-head,
because right now it’s a sad 1-in-0 in favor of that f-ing bread.

Still stand by Rogi. In the absence of Master Anacoan's firm and sturdy man breastules we will still surely rise on the wings of the Golden Eagle for W2014. Victory is His.
Rogi is Rising. Master best class. Sexi sensual experimental love-maker to fair breasted innocent Mirka, exceptional athlete and erotic Swisse man of humble integrity.

Well, Natalia, what an offer! I imagine the RF-branded Mercedes pulling up to escort me to your estate, a sumptuous repast waiting — crystal bowls filled with glorious Lindt truffles, bottles of Moet as far as they eye can see and a large pot of Swiss fondue served in a replica Wimbledon trophy, with staff attending to us, dabbing melted cheese from our faces with RF-monogrammed silk napkins. Then Anna Wintour and Gavin Rossdale pop by and we all go for frozen yogurt.
It sounds amazing, but we really should invite Rafa Nadal to join us. I'll bring the bread and bananas if you can supply the sharpened cutlery.
