Can you get all dressed chips in the States? I know you can only get Ketchup in Canada, hence my earlier post.

I'm not sure, I don't live in the US. The internet seems to think all-dressed is also a Canadian thing.

Do you have information on a wanted criminal? Stay safe and don’t approach them. Report it to your local or national police, who are best placed to take action. For subjects of Red Notices, you can also complete the form below (select ‘Fugitives’).

Another question is why he preferred Winnipeg challenger to Newport which is on grass.
I assume that he won't play grass (Antalya + Wimbledon) -> Hard (Winniprg) -> grass (Newport)
rather it is a transition to the hard courts before US Open.
On one side, reaching an assumed QF in Newport = 45 points, which he can beat only with a final or win in Winnipeg
On the other side, he doesn't appear as WC in Winnipeg, which means Winnipeg was his back-up plan if he doesn't reach the second week of Wimbledon

Ah, les regrettés Nordiques...



Winnipeg's not quite the middle of nowhere, they have that really nice Human Rights museum:

Tomic needs to do something quickly before he becomes irrelevant.

No reason for me to travel then. I love all dressed chips. Don't like ketchup though.

It's outrageous. And egregious. Something should be done.
Can we start a gofundme to finance the engagement of a lawyer? Surely there is some provision in the Magna Carta whereby we might prosecute him for sorcery, and have him burnt at the stake?

For now, I suggest warning the authorities.

Yeah Newport would have made way more sense. On grass plus it's usually a weak draw. Who knows with this guy.

Winnipeg has one very deep connection to London, so it's a natural choice as the next tournament after Wimbledon:

Canadian Lieutenant Harry Colebourn brought a black bear with him as a regimental mascot in the First World War and he named the bear "Winnie" after his hometown Winnipeg. After the war Winnie was donated to the London Zoo and became the inspiration for Winnie the Pooh. Plus Winnipeg and Wimbledon both start with "Wi"

To me, all-dressed tastes like a ketchup with seasoning. I'm surprised you like one but not the other.

Maybe Tomic got confused when he booked his plane tickets : " "Wi" followed by a ton of lettahs some time in July, yah, that's gotta be it... man, these flights are cheap!"

I don't get this guy at all.

He gives no effort at Wimbledon (on grass which should suit his game) in a winnable match against old washed up Tsonga, yet is willing to travel and play in random challengers? Very odd.

He plays his first round in Newport today.

I noticed that as well.
Combined with his poor run in Winnipeg, it raised some questions:
- why did he register in Winnipeg? was it really for points, or rather to "cover the travel expenses to Newport"
- did he try his best efforts there or tanked again

Gotta feel for Bernie...

He lost in Winnipeg after having a match point, and saving two MPs himself. He really tried... And now this. He had a 5-2* lead in the second set.
