Apparently, Karolina Sprem is actually Roger Federer in disguise...
Now I don't blame Venus for losing her match.

That Roger Federer is a jerk. It's bad enough that he's kicking the crap out of all the men, but picking on the ladies as well?

No, I don't think it would have taken Roger two tiebreaks to beat Venus Williams.

Venus wouldn't get a point off of Federer.

Venus might get bageled by Roger, but to say she couldn't win 1 point is pushing it.

Yes, Roger does have a tendency to double fault. Silly kid, I offered to teach him many times, he just refuses to listen

If Roger played a safe game with no double faults, we might not win a single point on him. Venus on the other hand is a pro and she could get a few points here and there, but I could still see a bagel coming out of it in Roger's favor.

Assuming you have two legs that work and know how to play tennis, you could get a point off anyone in the world.

I'm 100% confident if I played two sets with roger federer, or anyone for that matter, i'd get a point. Almost anyone on this board would get a point dude, use common sense.

San, I have gone through a whole set not losing a single point, not even a double fault, to a beginner. How much better do you think Roger is over you than I was to the beginner? I hear what you're saying though because the odds are against Roger not losing a single point, but it is possible to get completely and I mean completely bageled by Roger.

I honestly doubt that I could get a point off of Federer if he was playing his A game. I think I'm a good player but goddamn he is h4x.

Come on guys. I'll go even further. If I played 3 sets with roger federer I can guarantee I could get a GAME. I know he's like a tennis god, and he certainly is a tennis god to me, the second coming of sampras, but this is TENNIS. It's nearly physically impossible to go around golden bageling everybody in sight.

I don't think i could get a point off Federer. Excluding lucky shots like netcords and stuff. He would not double fault a single time obviously cause he doesn't need to go for it against me. Same with all the shots. If I would just rip it at him every time than maybe he mistimes one or something. Otherwise i don't see how...

Very Large Duck: You could not win a game over roger federer unless you're at least a very good level college player. If you're just some 4.5 club player-yeah he'd serve a triple bagel to you. People get double bageled by players of their own ability-do you realize how far a pro tennis player is above an amateur, not even to say the greatest pro tennis player in the world? You cannot be serious.

You're either stuck in fantasy land or else you're trolling for dollars. Even Federer would not be able to golden bagle many PROS, but YOU, he would have no trouble doing this. I'm positive, even though I've never seen you play, that you would be lucky to win two points off of him in a 3-set match. He is not just a run of the mill pro-he's pretty unreal out there. Get a clue.

Well Davenport beat the pants off of Sprem today, leaving everyone in attendance and the millions and millions of fans all over the world stunned. But now I know after that pic, the rest of the story.

Rickson, you are cruel. You played a beginner and didn't let them have a point? I hope it wasn't a Playboy Bunny.

As far as winning a game off Federer is concerned, I was thinking maybe if you have a big serve you could get 4 aces, but then I remembered even guys who get 30+ aces a match against other people only get about 10 off of him.

Maybe you could bore him into giving you a game.

Duck - I've SEEN Federer play-against top ranked pros-so I don't NEED to see you play. My "logic" is irrefutable. Keep dreaming, buddy. You can always dream...
