Should Khachanov retire?

The mounting losses are disturbing. We were all excited when he overcame the dangerous Frenchman Tak Khunn Wang right in his French backyard recently. We rejoiced at his win over Aslan Karatsev in Sweden, only to watch in horror the revenge match go horribly wrong in Kazan the following week.

The recent early-round losses to Nedovyesov, Taro, and now Dolgopolov are raising red flags that need to be examined.

Clearly one step away from the younger Medvedev and ready to be banned from the tour. At 6' 6" tall he is far to fast to hit the ball in a coordinated manner. RBA felt sorry for him and let him win their Barcelona match.

If he is over 22 then there is no hope for him. Definitely too old to play tennis and he will never amount to anything.

Johnny Cash passed too early to pen a tune called "A Boy Named Karen".:eek:
Sobad loves Cash.
"Son, this world is rough
And if a man's gonna make it, he's gotta be tough
And I knew I wouldn't be there to help ya along.
So I give ya that name and I said goodbye
I knew you'd have to get tough or die
And it's the name that helped to make you strong.?

Now you just fought one hell of a fight
And I know you hate me, and you got the right
To kill me now, and I wouldn't blame you if you do.
But ya ought to thank me, before I die,
For the gravel in ya guts and the spit in ya eye
Cause I'm the son-of-a-***** that named you"

Yes, Khachanov should retire after blowing MPs to the Safin/Sobkin protege Fraudskoy. I am disappoint we had zero dialogue concerning this unsettling result with the noted journalist @SoBad .

Said protege Eugene is on the court in neutral Bastad and trying to stay in touch with the highly skilled red clay Italian specialist Arnaboldi. Some discourse about this process would also be welcome.

is Medvedez related to Andrei Medvedev who reached the French open final and went up 2 sets to none against Andrei Agassi ?

Well if Donskoy can save multiple matchpoints against an opponent as talented as Khachanov, obviously he is even more underrated than was previously thought. Thank you for bringing these important developments to the attention of the public. These matches are not broadcast on my TV and I cannot bother with the crappy online streams these days.

Sadly, Fraudskoy used up all his supposed talent vs Khachanov and was no match for the amazing Arnaboldi.

Doesn't take much to amuse Murray fans these days, does it? Apparently, a Persian/Armenian name does the trick for the anglosaxonical masses~!~

Oh lighten up. It was only a joke. What kind of things make Persians and Armenians laugh? ;)

Thanks. But I can do even better than that if the mood takes me. :D



I see. So it's not okay to laugh at a person's name but it's okay to laugh at their face? ;)
It's a free world, so it's all fine. Only difference is, Khachanov's given name may be humorous to some limited segments confined to areas with high incidence of inbreeding, whereas a Murray mugshot can serve as a potent rodent repellent universally.

Well, humour is often subjective as you have just proved and, as you point out, it's a free world. :)

Yes, silence the voices of truth! What a novel idea!
The splendid foliage of October;
この道やゆく人なしに秋の暮れ...
But autumn fruits and winter nuts.
Suggesting young men with enormous potential calling it quits at age 20 will always attract ridicule. Reap what you sow.:cool:
