What made him write that?
ITF= theives= shameful...
I am curious about this, too.
Was this about something at a slam or about the surface choice at the upcoming Davis Cup tie in Austin, Texas?
I know there was a brief dust-up about the surface not being ITF approved...but they used it at Memphis or San Jose for a tour stop...so they approved it.
Basically, it's a fast surface which ought to favor Roddick, Fish AND LOPEZ. Maybe he was expressing something on behalf of Nando or Rafael?
Now, back to the thread....Gimel and Lopez being Tweet-tarts...
Fee, thanks for your insight with the ATP liaison and the misinformation of Feli...and Feli's kneejerk
off reaction.
The whole metrosexual thing....didn't that word go away like 5 or 6 yrs ago? I mean, if GImel is trying to be funny or stay relevant, it seems like he could come up with something pithier .... or maybe just keep it simple and call the guy a pretty boy with a pretty game -- and be done with it. If he were more like Brad Gilbert, he'd mention their head to head and be done with it. SInce he is not, he had to get all silly and end up looking like a tool. AGAIN.
I think Gimel has some issues. But don't we all?
I am rooting for Kubot and Lopez to have a brilliant 5 setter. I am rooting for ESPN to actually show some of it, hahah, like that'll ever happen.
I am rooting for Gimel to rise above this. He's outgoing, he's somewhat charismatic and he had a decent game and a good college-to-pro journey. Now if he can just quit tarnishing that and get back to basics.
As for Feli's pretty boy looks....yeah, he's kind of like a less skinny version of a male model, especially when he pulls out the blue steel. I don't think he looks queer or girly or anything....just not a rugged manly man. I'm sure he's at home with that. No problem.
But,
I think we can all make fun of the patchy beard and the headband that makes him look like he's nursing a headwound. I think of David Ferru and also Dana Carvey as Massive Headwound Harry.
