Looks like a Rafa-Rog final coming up

[Sentinel]

Very good prediction calling Fed, Nadal final. Everyone else got it completely wrong.

What amazes me is that Roger still almost lost even with best coach possible, best court possible, best playing conditions possible. To a player that everyone claimed could not possibly make the finals. LOL

It will be interesting to see how 2011 develops.

"still almost lost."

You don't know how tennis is scored, do you ?

To hell with the 'spirit' of thanksgiving ... I love turkeys but I don't eat them! It's more about killing & eating turkeys than expressing gratitude.

Guys, in the spirit of Christmas, thanksgiving or whatever, let's forgive sureshs. He *does* provide moments of entertainment to all concerned, a comic relief from serious discussions and trolling ... a bit like Sir Rodney of Wizard of Id, or no wait ... like Bung !

Easy buddy, he did not win any of the last 3 slams, but he won the new 5th slam the WTF.

What is there to get upset about?

 

[abmk]

Ahh sureshs, yet another thread fail. But don't worry in terms of the number of thread fails created, Cesc is still miles ahead of you.

err, the cincy thread by sureshs was as good or better than any thread from cesc !

he doesn't obviously, losing 1-6 in the final set is almost winning according to him :roll:

hey, dont get upset . Federer did not win the last three slams, but he won the 5th one (WTF). (- Sir Jackson Vile).

(someone inform JV which the fifth slam is , please)

Looks like you have displaced sureshs as the "king-of-sophisticated-trolling-douchebags".

(someone inform JV which the fifth slam is , please)

Cincinnati, the fifth and real SLAM, courtesy the original "king-of-sophisticated-trolling-douchebags"

nah, he's not sophisticated, he's just clueless, unlike sureshs who deliberately does it annoy people ( a true troll in every sense of the internet word "troll" )

 

[sbengte]

H2H will become 15-7.

I hope Fed has the sense to tank in the semis so that he can enter 2011 with his ego intact.

As it is, they are playing an exo over New Year and Rafa will beat him there too.

Breakpoint said it best during the Paris indoors - indoor tournaments really isolate tennis skills because they remove extraneous factors like sun and wind. He was explaining that Rafa avoided Paris because the indoor setting would expose his game. I hope he watches the final tomorrow and appreciates the true tennis of the GOAT in an indoor setting.

THe Asiad happened right where i live, within a stone's throw and i did not follow it. I believe Bercy was going on.
What happened to Somdev, he won Singles and Doubles finals both ???

Are you Indian, too. Well, obviously !

You guessed right - I am Indian.
And a little surprised that you live in China. Not very common to know people who are based at China.
Yes, Somdev won both men singles and doubles gold medal. I am really proud of the guy. He has brought laurels to his nations. Sadly, media does not hype him compared to that overrated and overhyped Sania Mirza

oh wait, i screwed up. I am in India. The Commonwealth was held in my neighborhood. Got muddled up.
Maybe its better that the media does NOT hype him. That usually has a negative effect if you ask me. I'd rather he stays under the radar -- once he is playing in the main draw of a slam, the hype will start.

She has won a Slam. Has he?

He lives in Delhi.

Not sure whether he even plays tennis, though.

Yes Suresh, I figured out that he lives in Delhi.
As for him playing tennis, it does not matter. Playing tennis is not a pre-requisite to become an expert on this forum at least ;-)

I think a 3.5 level is a minimum requirement to be able to give advice to Fed.

 

[Eternally_damned]

Wow, you suck.

 

[sureshs]

Wow, you suck.

Do you think Nick Bolls or Toni Nadal are any higher than 3.5?

You should stick to predictions, suresh. That's where your skill lies.

 

[Serendipitous]

I agree! 8)8)

 

[Sentinel]

I see what you did there !!!

The honorable members of this board will disagree with you.
Some of them may site you as a case in point for disagreement.

No, but they will cite you for bad spelling

Come on, surely a weekend hack like sureshs is qualified to insist that Roger should retire, he should play with a larger racquet, he should use a 2 handed backhand, etc etc.

Please know that he knows everything about tennis, the Universe, it's origin, God, God's existence /non-existence, near death experiences, black holes, evolution, MJ's gender, where Elvis Presley lives, and correct spelling. And most of this from watching TV programs.

 

[fednad]

My reference will be just below yours where you will be c/s/c/s/c/ited for misplaced/lost sentence ending fullstops.

Do you mean to say he is subscribed to TataSky Active English crash course?

haha. No, he lives in the US, not the Blessed Motherland. He probably watches the same channels Fedace and Dud watch.
