I have not yet seen a thread dedicated to the almighty Guru of tennis, so I thought I would be the one to make it. Post your favorite Gurufils moments, matches, lessons and what not. That is all.

The Guru teaching RAFA that Doha has absolutely no relevance to the AO. Great stuff; definitely a lesson that RAFA, the best student of the game, will never forget.

Will some kind soul kindly put me out of my misery and explain what all this Monfils-Guru business is all about?
I'm trying to think how to do this without running into 20 pages or so...
Monfils is the greatest teacher and entertainer the game has ever seen.
He's got so much skill, other players (and the audience) learn something new each time they/we watch him.
Every opportunity you get to play Monfils, you learn something - and you learn even more in defeats than victories.
Monfils has been responsible for some of the greatest modern tennis stories - his victories over Rafa at Doha in 2009 and 2012 showed how irrelevant Doha is to the AO. It helped Rafa prepare for his best two years ever at the AO.
There are so many examples of the effect Monfils has had on the tennis landscape

The thing is that a lot of times when some player has had a good/great/awesome run of results, it happened right after he had a meeting with Monfils.Will some kind soul kindly put me out of my misery and explain what all this Monfils-Guru business is all about?
Coincidence? Not a chance.

But how come the Guru cannot learn from his own experiences? It must be a tad humiliating to be constantly held up as an example of how not to play tennis matches!

Yes, that was indeed an important lesson. Fedr upped the ante with the junkballing just one week later, taking out Djokodalray all in the same tournament at the WTF. While important for Fedr, it was just another day in the life for LaMonf. Teaching a lesson like that was just too routine for him.

Fellow disciples, we have been neglecting our duties. 9 whole days without paying our tributes is a sin of great size. However, it is not unforgivable, so let us start repenting now before we feel the wrath of his Guruness.

2010 will always be a memorable year for Nadal considering his total clay sweep and winning on 3 different surfaces at Slams.
Of course, he couldn't have done it all on his own...

Not sure if this compilation of Gurufils lectures are already documented. If so, I apologize for my redundancy but I'm particularly overwhelmed by the seat-of-my-pants tutorial enclosed in this essay. The only thing in life I have managed to master with my non-dominant hand involves ample application of paper products endorsed by Mr. Whipple!

Thanks for your contribution, student. Lots of very important lessons being taught there, shaping the tennis landscape one match at a time. The Guru truly is great.

As for Nieminen, yes that was indeed a ploy by the great Guru. He decided to help his student one last time, which allowed him to FINNISH that PhD.

@nowhereman - The time has come. You have proved your undying dedication to Gurufils, and have followed His Teachings accordingly. I was particularly impressed with your latest lecture The Fedr Theory of Withdrawals, and so from this day forth, you are now promoted to Deputy Headmaster of the Gurufils Academy and Senior Partner/Managing Director of LaGURU Corp.

Deputy Headmaster, this has got to be one of the greatest moments of my life. I will not fail you or the Guru, you can count on that. And to think I was nearly expelled from the academy not even a week ago!
The Guru has blessed me once more.

Jarkko is a very humble learner...notice his racquet clap after the asstounding winner, unlike djovic's racquet smashing on display in a previously posted compilation of lectures. Such a stubborn student, this Serb. Imagine how good he could become if he just let the knowledge flow in without interference!I'm actually not the head proctor, Headmaster Krish is.

Yes, the FINNISH are rather humble, but the Splendid Serb is currently the quickest learner in the game, still harnessing the power of his last lecture back in 2014
Perhaps... a booster training session may be in order at the Rolly-G?
