Neither, pal.
Do not forget that talking with a full mouth is ugly and with an empty head, worse.

Finally, a response short enough that I actually read it.

Definitely quite impressive from a guy who will turn 39 tomorrow.

39 tomorrow and 40 on Tuesday.

Turned 40 couple weeks back. Getting old fellas.

Then again there is a large portion of tennis that is mid 30's still playing great.

On a more serious note, I actually thought @FedFosterWallace might change his name after the re-examination of the late David Foster-Wallace and the repudiation of his journalistic ethics and professional behaviour.

It doesn't feel right to highlight the F-W suffix or his work the way it used to (imo).

What are you on about.

Also, Subway’s sandwiches are all bread.

If you were already across this story, the full extent of DFW's actions, and the additional allegations against him, I apologise.

DFW is no longer the "go-to" intersection between tennis and the literary arts that many of us (myself included) once considered him.

It's not something to celebrate, or a direct attack on you, but in my earlier comment, I was wondering out loud if your name is now in poor taste and worth changing.

You provide (much needed) levity on the message boards, and I'm grateful for that.

I think he is overrated. He has not won a slam in more than a year now.

Hard to say, it keeps increasing.

Stephane Roberts might be the most interesting. 39 year old mainly grinding on the Challenger Tour. #282, career high of 50 in the world 3 years ago. 2.5 million made in his career.
