Heavily booed Tipsarevic retiring from Bercy was patethic
 

This guy is addicted to retirements when he feels hopeless and very close to be defeated.

I was so happy to see him booed so much in Bercy after he retired when he was 1-4 0-40 down in the third set

This one was another funny one in Eastbourne

--------------------------------------------------------------
He has retired already 10 times on the verge of defeat and often citing dizziness (he maybe pregnant)!

Here his terrible record

Paris 2012: Janowicz 6-3, 1-6, 1-4

Cincinnati 2012: Andujar 4-6, 1-4

US Open 2011: Djokovic 6-7(2), 7-6(3), 0-6, 0-3

Wimbledon 2011: Karlovic 5-7, 1-3

Eastbourne 2011: Seppi 6-7(5), 6-3, 3-5

Roland Garros 2009: Murray 6-7(3), 3-6

Metz 2009: Monfils 1-6, 2-4

Barc 2008: Gulbis 4-6, 2-4

US Open 2007: Nadal 2-6, 3-6, 2-3

Adelaide 2007 Hewitt (AUS) 1-6 2-4

That puts Azarenka to shame.

I thought Janko was a gutsy player - memories from the Roddick USO , Federer AO matches. Not true. All of the matches just a game or two from finish.

Real Shame.

Sometimes you just don't have it. Tipsy realizes this and retires out of frustration.

He knows there's no "comeback". He decides to call it a day. No big deal.

Get a grip. Not everyone wants to fight until the bitter end. That doesn't label him a "quitter" or anything like that. When you play enough matches, you realize that sometimes there is just no coming back from the brink of defeat. So be it. Carry on.

Thing is, some players can turn it around.

He's trying to prove he can do something better than his fellow Serb, Djokovic :lol:

That doesn't label him a quitter? In my book it does. Just stay out there until you get beat if there is no comeback in sight. It's that simple. Take it like a man!!!

Wow - that's a terrible record for a top ten player to have...

So a guy who quits can't be labeled a quitter?

Wow, I like Tipsarevic, but I never realized he quit so many matches after just being a few games away from losing. I think it's unacceptable, even if you are visibly tanking for a couple of games, at least let the opponent finish the match.

aah hahah haaaa...look at that list of tipsys quitters..:twisted:

Quitsarevic quit against feeble give up merchant gublis..oh the freaking irony :)

but the poor dear was a bit dizzy :-|..maybe he really was pregnant.

You're kidding, right?

What did he say in Paris, 'sudden fatigue'? :-?

Poor form. The crowd have come to see a match and that's his job. It's also disrespectful to your opponent. I wouldn't like to see it at club level let alone in the top flight.

If Tipsy improved his mental strength, I think he would be able bring his game to the Ferrer/Berdych/Tsonga level

No reason for Tipsy to retire. For a guy who has used a samurai paintjob on his rackets he is the opposite of a warrior.

Wow. That is just an awful record. Not exactly surprising though.

Mostly he was a couple of games from losing.

Yah I can't say that understand that decision by Tipsarevic. What could have been so wrong with him that he couldn't have just finished out the match, and let the kid at least enjoy the victory? Anyone Andre Agassi finishing out a best of 5 match at the French Open in 05 against Nemenen on one leg? A bit of a pathetic move by Tipsy, he deserved the boos.

Lol you're arguing that Janko isn't a quitter for retiring in matches he was probably going to lose... Isn't that the definition of quitting?

It gets even better :lol:. He is the only player in tennis history with a Career Golden Retirement Slam (and 4 of 9 Masters events)

I hope his soul is thoroughly coated in a bitter marinade of opprobrium and shame and it cooks his conscience until it is roasted to guilty perfection.
But mainly, I just hope the locker room and his peers admonish and chastise him to the extent he will wanna further darken the tint on his Oakleys for fear people will see the permanent tinge of red-faced shame in his eyes (or is that yellow?)
