MY QUEST FOR WIMBLEDON GLORY ! AND 30K ! :-)

[JonnyMac]

Some of you may be aware that I'm starting my bid to be playing in the first round at Wimbledon next year - 2016. I hear you get 30K if you get knocked in the first, so that's my initial goal.

Of course if I practice hard, I should go a lot deeper and make a load more dosh !

Some fellow poasters have offered useful advice already, and I thank them - Stringer Tom, Underhand and Scentienel

So I'm looking for a guy called Sushi to be my Coach. I've no idea who he is but I understand he's well regarded round here, so that's a start.

I've asked around about how I should deal with Murray's back hand slice.. Some good advice there.
I've also asked about Novak's angled drop shot... Seems a tricky one that.
Also I'm going to serve at Nadal's water bottles - apparently it distracts him.
Roger makes the game look really easy - So I'm sure I can play better than that.
I'll practice the whatjamcallit - The Voley, so I'll easy beat Raonic at the net.
Ferrer will he'll be a tough one cos he frightens me wiv all that growlin'....
Is there anyone one else I should look out for?
What about that Dim follow - Greedor ? Is he any good ?
What about that man that looks like a Giant Woman - Birdfish ?
That's assuming I'm playing the men of course.
May be I should enter the Womens event ?


Oh ! And SpaceCadet is helping me lose weight ...

If any of you have any further advice, good or bad, or just plain rude let me know..

I'm after that 30k ! In 2017 I'm on for the title, I've a few ideas already where I'm going to spend the £2 million quid.

Thanks guys in advance !

Poast a video of your serve, groundies, volleys etc so that we arm-chair experts at TTW can critique. Also, what racquet are you using? what is your string set-up?

 

[Underhand]

You have to have a team around you, lone journeymen have no chance. You need:

surehs – fitness training, technical coaching
Marius_Hancu – tactical coaching
veroniquem – PR, social media
ArcspacE – cleaning

I thought Spaceboy was for GOATing?

he better be, just as certain ballboys of the past started goating, the cleaning arcspace should do so too.

I wish Jonny success, I have never stepped inside Wimbledon, not even outside my country, I want to do it someday.

 

[Poisoned Slice]

I want to see if you have that special something. Once I see that you have it, I will donate a fiver to your cause. Do you accept Paypal? Cha-ching.

Poor Jonny...never exposed to the sureshsian vortex! Somebody gif him up a taste of his new mentor!

[stringertom]

Thanks! We really need the serve/FH approach/BH half volley dropper sequence to edumicate poor young Jonny.

Definitely.

I'm sure it will be posted in time. The gif I posted is what took me back to the first time I saw Sureshs.

 

[stringertom]

Definitely.

LOL! Reminds me of my experience watching "Play Misty For Me", Clint Eastwood's directorial debut. That's when I first heard Roberta Flack's "First Time I Ever Saw Your Face"!

 

[stringertom]

Definitely.

I have bumped the OP from the sureshs tribute thread so young JonnyMac can see the artistry of The JediMasterPoobah and make his first steps towards glory @Wimby'16.

JonnyMac, go to O&E and expand my bumping post!

 

[vanioMan]

You can have me and Mr. Sentitroll be you "Tio Tonis". We shall play all sorts of mind games, do on-coart coaching, change the rules, get rid of umpires, psyche out our opponents and all kinds of stuff

How did ArcspacE make it then??

Just kidding, you are one of funniest guy here.

What do you think, @Sentinel ?

 

[Keizer]

If the great man can impart this disguised-topspin-flat-junkball-moonball-forehand with elements of the soft instinctive balanced half volley with the rafa-inspired half over the head follow through to Jonny, then I think that the first round is the floor of what he could achieve

Notice how the kinetic chain is so complete - his body does all the work, swaying backward with the momentum of the racket over his head.

 

[Sentinel]

LMAO !!! I almost threw up lunch reading this, and the first item in your list of coaches/people.

What do you think, @Sentinel ?

Excellent idea.

Sushi, LOL.

 

[JonnyMac]

Hi guys I'm sorry I've not been around. I've been busy doing pushups - Trying to lose a few stone to reach my target weight of about 16 stone - Will this do ? Only 7 stone to go.

I've been thinking about you all, and all you've said, and I hope to have some shots of me playing for your Analysis soon.

I love the team Line up! Thanks Sentinel and Stringer Tom and Underhand for that.

- WHAT A TEAM I have around me - How can I fail!
If only I'd been ready for this year...

GREAT NEWS - SpaceCadet has agreed to join ! And will fit ALL the cleaning around the fitness training .....

I so happy guys I could cry! - That brings me neatly to the next appointment in the team - Sports Physiologist and team Psychiatrist....

With such a wealth of talent here available on TW, we should not have to look too far. Any suggestions ?

We be in touch Guys ! Thank you so much !

Yeah this Guys - Brilliant ! - I'll do this ! Is there anymore difficult stuff I need to master ?

Wow - with you guys helping this is going to be a breeze! - Maybe I should enter all the Slams - What do you think ?

 

[JonnyMac]

What do you think, @Sentinel ?

I'm overwhelmed ! I can't fail...

Thanks Underhand, great Line up. Not heard from Veroniqe yet - Perhaps I'm on here ignore list ?

Do you think she'll come on board ?

The Grand Poobah's first step in your training regimen will be to make you fit enough to make multiple trips through the AYCE buffet lines. If crow is being served at those establishments, then Excusiquem will join the team to train you on how to make all the right excuses for any possible upsets.

Its the perfect package. While Sureshs molds you into the greatest WC at Wimbledon since 01 Ivanisevic, vero will ensure that you have the optimal escape clause for any upset related exigency.

Thanks for that Keizer !

Ok Guys I've been working hard and it's been hot. The weight is falling off, and as promised I found a picture of me at working hard. As you can I'm starting to look the part....Especially in this hot Wombledon weather !

Me !

I think I have the Stan power - No ?

You already have the sureshs power! Your strategy sessions at the AYCE buffets will be marathons.

This Sushi Character certainly has some magical powers ! I feel brilliant already.

I've been practicing with a friend - any more tips ?

 

[JonnyMac]

This is my service action. I commissioned some time lapse analysis, and had me taken out of the frame so you can see the action more clearly...

Any good ?

 

[ArcspacE]

I blame irresponsible parents allowing Internet access to their children without supervision

Dear, oh dear

Hey SpaceCadet ! Great to see you ! Taking your team responsibilities seriously I see !
Underhand suggested you do the cleaning at team head quarters.. But also you should be my fitness instructor ! ( When you've done the cleaning )

So what should I be doing to get that Super Stan core strength ?

Kettlebells work well for that. I do this routine that I got off a youtube video, and damn if it hasn't helped my tennis game immensely. My buddy is like dude, your game has improved so much in the last 2-3 years.

I'm sure @ArcspacE is a virtuoso with the mop and the toilet brush, but the fitness stuff should be strictly @sureshs territory if you want a Stan the manly tennisbody.

 

[Big_Dangerous]

This is roughly the routine I do, but I do way more reps these days, so sometimes it takes me close to 2 hours to finish. I really like the slashes and swings. Sometimes I'll do like 100 slashes on each side and 300 two handed swings. Really puts on the power.

Wow that looks like hard work ! - I like the black guy though !

Is there anything a little ... erm .. a little Less Strenuous ?

Looks like it would work for a normal person fantastically, but, well,... I'm a bit Lazy ...

Virtuoso - Yes ! He's certainly one of those - What a great word...Space Cadet the Virtuoso of........?

Spaceboy LOL ! - you gotta learn to love him - He's part of the team man !

 

[ArcspacE]

I'm an architect and hold a Masters degree Cum Laude

Which grade are you and @Underhand in?

Most Sureshsian raids to the AYCE Buffet end with the proprietor uttering: 'Sir, please... You are scaring the other customers'

I've designed the Brooklyn Bridge and I'm selling it now. Are you interested?

The only names i can suggest for a psychiatrist are 6666. Or maybe 60's Weed. The only other sane person i know on the forum got permabanned in Jan, and is now driving people sane at the MTF. @stringertom, can you think of anyone more befitting. Sadly, @kiki has also left for greener pastures. Do you think Nostradamus could fit the role if the others decline this offer.

I wouldn't mind buying or renting Brooklyn Decker for a while, though.

I see, you build towers from bog rolls. Must be fun during breaks in the night shift.

Haven't you learned that by Grade 3 already?

Thanks Centienell !

Wow so much choice ! What about that Sissyfuss guy ? He seems to know his way around the inmost workings ....
Physiotherapy seems to be his bag ! Maybe a touch religious but there is a lot of truth in religion....( leave it ! )

What about that RF 18 chappie - whats he like ?
