Didn't think Zverev would have it in him. M1000s is a start I guess considering he has already won more than Dimitrov, Raonic and Nishikori, lmao.
I have a feeling Zverev is getting ready to go on a roll and start winning some majors with injuries starting to take their toll on the "older" guys. Finally a younger Next Gen player stepping up!
 
^Dude, please stay on topic.^
What does Sascha think of vampire films?
Vampires in general? Does he agree with McEnroe's stance on the removal ofvampires? Or does he take more of an Ernests Gulbis-type approach?

Kidding.
Zverev is impressive. Switched ranking spots with thiem. But has not gotten quite as far in majors. Saw both live a few years ago. Figured those two will supplant the big four hegemony. It is happening.

Well, i am for one more major for rog and/or raf.

THIS is the reference to vampires when it comes to tennis.

Absolutely hilarious! Where did you dig that up?
And to think Ernests thought it was bold and even contentious to say that he thought we should get rid of vampires is the best part!

(This is still on topic for this thread, right?)
Im a Gulbis fan. This I watched same day he said it! Its unforgettable. Its loads of Gulbis gems.

As Gulbis says: Im totally for personalities!

Another random day at the office from Gulbis.

frankly it doesn't matter because the series was pretty good

My wife used to watch the show sometimes and was able to enjoy it just as entertainment. I have to admit that I never could, because I just see it as perpetuating the lies of someone who callously exploits people's deepest feelings for building her own fortune. (I am unwilling to believe that she doesn't know exactly what she is doing.)

but yes, I do believe in mediumship. I have my own experience and that's good enough for me.

As I said, I don't really want to start a discussion about this, as it's unlikely to lead anywhere. I'd just say that personal experience may not be the best guide. These people are extremely good at what they do, and exploiting both the things we would like to believe and the way the human brain works. We are very good at seeing patterns and making them fit, and after such a reading people tend to remember those things that fit.

Open mind doesn't mean being skeptic or debunking something you choose not to believe; it's quite the opposite.

To me, open mind means reaching a conclusion based on the evidence, rather than being influenced by preconceived notions that may not be justified.

There simply is no credible evidence of "paranormal" abilities. There are plenty of cases of "psychics" or "mediums" who have been discredited or even admitted that it is a scam; e.g.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sylvia_Browne#Paranormal_claims
https://www.nytimes.com/2015/08/29/...rade-its-in-the-parole-board-transcripts.html

The techniques used by these people are also well documented, and again you can find plenty of cases of illusionists achieving the same effects without requiring or claiming any supernatural powers. (E.g. Derren Brown.)

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence; yet all the evidence suggests that there are no "psychics". Of course, everyone can believe what they choose to, and I don't really come here to argue about it, but rather to discuss tennis. :) But I do resent these charlatans exploiting others' grief for their own purposes.

That impish expression, when he thought he identified hangers-on and handlers as vampires....
Then the face when he realized maybe it was umpires instead of vampires.
Lol, fun presser. Watchable again and again. I love Rog, Noah, Ashe, laver, pancho, kramer, mats, mac, edberg, Vilas, ulrich, all three Gorans, Safin, roddick, newk, Guga, rafter, boris, connors, Pete, dre, sergi, panatta, tiriac, and all the interesting characters tennis has given us. But this kid is the best. This guy is on the vitas or nastase level.

I saw that a few years ago on the wimbledon site. Quickly became a cult classic on yt.

I liked that presser of Gulbis.He's telling it like it is. He doesn't want to hold back.

I'll take a 180 here again and bring something new but still related to movies - out of all of Denzel Washington movies, I really liked the Fallen the most. It's not flawless but it is quite unique, stands out for me. You may call it a horror flick but it's much, much more clever than that. I've seen it so many times and still don't get bored with it.

Donnie Darko is another tough nut to crack.

And I am all for characters! And if the boring doesn't exist then we can never find out what exciting is. Both characters must be present in order to complete each other!

Just fyi...many animals attack their own species. Some of those species have been around a lot longer than humans.

Thanks. I guess I've made a faux pas there but what I originally meant to say is that, human species may just be the only species out of all living animals that attack their own species being fully aware - unlike all other animals that are not consciously evolved.

Can't believe some of you. Just because he's a bit off doesn't mean he's injured. Perhaps all the success has finally got to him and it should. He's 36 after all.

And he has ran into a red hot player who might just be the next Champion. And also, you can't deny the fact that Roger had a very pretty good draw up until the final. He was never tested until now. You don't suppose that plays a factor?

And Zverev has done it!!! Wow


Just thought I'd gloat now that the injury is confirmed.

Oh I am, epic food, great gandalf and my boy is about to be #1 for the first time in 3 years, which I never expected ;) Stannity is getting his small ounce of happiness for the day by doing self-damage control because his favorite player is injured. You better work :p

Sure keep repeating it and you might believe it. Slayyyyyyy

Im just so depressed about Nadal gaining points on Federer and winning 3 Decimas this year after thinking he was done, and returning to #1, I don't know what to do with myself :( I should call you Panini because you're so pressed :D I can see the grill marks in the shape of a lasso FH ;)

LOL, 2 slam > 1 :) Eat it and sleep well ;)

But how can I? Knowing my favorite player is only the second best ever to play the game? :( you couldn't come in second in a pie eating contest :p among friends :D so watch highlights and stop crying about your boy not getting what you were prematurely celebrating after Montreal. Merengue all over that face.
