That's not how the language works, kid. And it's "it's".
It appears you're speaking from experience, so I'll take your word for it.
Sure will. May I add that you remind me of this idiot of a friend I have called "Usha"? She was a right fool.
I agree that you don't need experience to be an idiot. You seem to be a natural.
If you think that needs extraordinary talent, I can take a guess at the kind of talent you possess. I bet you think walking is something only Superman can do.
Hey don't tar us all with the same brush please.
trust me, i'm aware of the interesting characters in other fan bases as well.
Yes I did know you are a Fed fan actually, now that I think about it ... Sorry!
Lets check here http://live-tennis.eu/en/atp-live-ranking on Monday, shall we?
We're crushed to hear this!
If fred wins canada, he just has to get to the same round as Ralph at Cincy to get #1 right?
It's 1/100,000,000th of the Roger Federer fanbase, silly.
Sampras time was easier, lots of part time players who don't play all surfaces. 1 Wimbledon and a few indoors is enough for him to secure YE1.
Best case is maybe Wimbledon, because he can't lose any points during the clay season and Nadal has huge potential to lose points there (and you'd have to figure he'll be the biggest contender for the #1 ranking).
In skimming through the thread, I came across your post. I was asthmatic in school and had to take horrible steroids which messed up my mood and made my childhood/teenhood very unhappy. I was constantly ridiculed for being a zero at sports. I was not allowed to pursue college studies in the field of my choice. And even though I did well in the field they chose for me, those feelings of doubt and regret returned when I graduated. Since you seem to be clinging onto success of your sporting heroes as a coping mechanism, I want to tell you that what finally helped me find equilibrium in life was to admire a person who has not had much success in the media defined sense of the word but has soldiered on and continues to do what she likes at an age when many people retire and has a small but loyal following for her work. So... I know it's hard but don't let society's definition of success and failure get to you. Laugh off their slights and insults. Just learn to enjoy what you do as much as you can and you will be surprised by how many problems that will solve for you. I am sure that some of those who mocked me for my lack of athleticism have grown overweight and slow by now with their corporate lifestyle and that I could probably beat them senseless in a tennis match. But you know what? I don't care and I don't give a flying **** about them anymore. All I care about is the joy I get while playing tennis. Don't let hate trump love.
Great post. As someone who will never be in any kind of college I empathize with the plight you dealt with. Everything you said is so true, but it's a bit easier said than done a lot of times..In skimming through the thread, I came across your post.

He doesn't have to, but it will help him greatly if he does.
If he were to win US Open, he will be #1 anyway.
