He's 17. Why would he be denied access to a gym?

maybe he is too good of looking and girls are too much all over him ???

Lol your GIF and image game and banter is always on point mate

 

[gogo]

It's obvious he was denied access because of the bar-bells.

I'll second that sentiment, the best in the biz IMO.

Sorry, that is not it, trust me. He's no Fognini in looks. Not by a million miles (or kilometers, take your choice).

 

[sarmpas]

No way! I saw an almost identical sign several days ago in Prague on the left of Karluv Most. It was lit differently.

How do you know that? The truth is that you don't. Apparently you only used the previous comment as an excuse to bring up Fabio Fognini which is hardly relevant.

I beg to differ. In a couple of years, Felix will be breaking many, many hearts, with his good looks, athletic body and humble charm.

I'll just turn over the conversation to @TheGhostOfAgassi at this point.

according to google, it's indeed in prague... did you enter ?

You need a parent or guardian if you're under 18. Otherwise the gym would be legally responsible for him and they obviously don't want that. At least that's how it is in the U.S.

Study this and report back (Fognini photos await inside.)

vive le beau jeu,
In my photo look at the brick work behind the sign. Almost certain to be the very same club in Prague.

I did not 'enter'.

I was in Prague for sight-seeing. The city is magnificient, beautiful, amazing and relaxed, definately worth seeing.

So you didn’t "enter", because there was nothing to see there?

i have no doubt about that... glad you enjoyed it !
(but sometimes indoor sights can surprise you...)

i don't know prague (yet) but i had the chance to visit budapest and it was a really beautiful town

This is weird. Budapest is top of my list of cities to visit next because Prague and Budapest are often compared with each other for possibly the wrong false stereotyped (western) reasons.

I don't step over my own moral line that often.

double post.

I was out that evening doing night photography so I didn't have a look inside.

... "that often" ?

sorry for the teasing ​

In other news Felix is growing out of his pants, here's a picture of Felix and Shapo going to todays' finals. Notice the height difference? Felix is a giant and i expect he's a couple of inches above his official 6'3" and might be still growing.

It's dimmer when viewed from indoors; and mirrored if viewed through a mirror

That's not true. One time I posted a series of Community GIFs and my post was removed.
alright fine all of them were of Alison Brie running in slow-mo but they were from Community, I swear

Someone at Tennis Canada has a good sense of humour.

17 already? When is this guy gonna arrive on the ATP tour? I thought he was a young prodigy not seen since Nadal, expected him already a year ago or so. Nadal was beating RG champions at age 16.

I was speaking generally. I don't do that sort of thing. I even drive within 30mph speed limits.

so you're an outlaw ?!... you could be fined if you do that on the highway !
... regardless of the presence of a naked czech stripper on the passenger seat (or in the trunk).

I'm pretty sure that you'll see him in 2018. He's comfortably in the top 200 now, so will get entry into qualies for ATP events. Heck, he's automatically into AO qualies.

Keep in mind that today's 18 year old is similar to the previous era's 16/17 year old. (Thanks to changes in equipment.)

From the ATP site:
Over the past 20 years, only three players younger than the Canadian have made their Top 200 debut: Nadal, Lleyton Hewitt and Richard Gasquet.

So don't write him off.
