"Lots of intelligent tennis fans here, I expect to learn a lot about my favorite sport!"I miss the innocence of being a new tennis fan. This was maybe 4 years max after I started watching.
Now it's just:
I guess that makes me somewhat of a genius too! Thank you TTW
Just like age, people ascribe clout to a number you get for free
I’ve saved my sanity by trying to keep to the racquets and strings section of the forum, just because this area can get so crazy with whatever the hell TIGER and all those other stupid terms mean.
Was this in green originally? I vaguely remember reading some posts from a guy who used colourful fonts and thinking "wow that poster sounds obnoxious"Hey guys, just wanted to take a second to introduce myself before making this thread being as that this is my first post and I am excited to be here.
My name is Matt, and by my username you can see my two favorite players on tour
Just wanted to say hi and that I thought this looked like a great forum as an observer. Lots of intelligent tennis fans here, I expect to learn a lot about my favorite sport!
I was wondering who you guys would list as your dark-horses or x-factors for the upcoming US Open.
I've been paying attention to a lot of players, and while I don't expect one of these guys to actually go all the way and win a major, it's neat to think about if any one of these guys can spring a huge upset. Of course, an upset is a lot harder to attain in the best of five set format.
But here are some guys I have an eye on, feel free to agree, disagree, or add your own.
Tommy Haas: Since beating Roger Federer prior to Wimbledon, Tommy has been playing some high-octane tennis. Took Djokovic to 3 sets in Toronto, fell to Monaco in another final (pretty closely contested). Dropped a tough one to Juan Martin Del Potro
Juan Martin Del Potro: Was gutted when he lost at the Olympics, albeit to my other favorite player, but have liked overall his form and how it has progressed since the devastating wrist injury suffered at the 2009 AO against Gilles Simon. Has a tough match today against Viktor Troicki, will be interesting to see if he can contend for the title at Flushing Meadows again. I would think he would like to avoid Roger, who has owned him since the 2009 loss to him at the USO Final.
Juan Monaco: Now you guys will have to help me out with this one. I've been watching this guy play and am pretty impressed. I am not sure, though, what his best surface is (someone told me clay, is this true)? Recently just cracked the top ten and won his first big tournament over Tommy Haas (his celebration was priceless by the way, went to his box and embraced everyone excitedly).
Of course you also have guys like:
John Isner: Can his serve be enough? Can he salvage enough of a defense and a return game to stun the worlds top guns? We have seen it before (beating Federer at Davis Cup, beating Djokovic earlier in the year as well). Big John always gives the American fan-base a semblance of local hope.
Ivo Karlovic: Last seen/heard accusing the lines-man at Wimbledon of favoring home town favorite Andy Murray, not much has been heard of Ivo since. Was slated to play in the Olympics but dropped out with an injury, where he would have possibly had a showdown with the Swiss Maestro.
The American Hopefuls: What can Sam Querry, Donald Young, Ryan Harrison, Andy Roddick do? Can any of them make any kind of noise?
@SinneGOAT apologize right now. Very disappointed. Sinner will pay for this.
How much have you learned from these intelligent fans?
Your first mistake was thinking you were born intelligent when you voluntarily signed up to be a member here in the first place
Tsitsipas legs look like chicken wings. Need to hire @Hitman to fix that.
We all know what his program did for me
It's okay, my first post was like a three paragraph thought out analytical post that took me like an hour to write, and then guy responded with "that is the dumbest thing I have ever heard" or something.
My first thread (now deleted lol) was a whole essay on why there can’t be a GOAT.
Haha. That is great. Ironically mine was to a guy with a username @EasyGoing and he ripped into me.
Huh, interesting.
Well that was a nice welcome ha.

I joined TTW at the start of May 2021.
Your avatars are more disturbing Raul.
Where are these group chats?
I will say the group chats are fun. One of which we are in together and I enjoy your commentary
There’s a bunch all throughout TTW. Private chats with many members. Usually different chats for different fanbases but there’s some overlap . I don’t run any of them or I’d offer you an invite if you were interested.

he;s not a dark horse, he;s one of favs-)
I think everybody apart from Djokovic is a dark horse.

That's certainly a lot of dark horses.
Funniest part is there’s real clips of Hansen saying even stupider and more repetitive things than in that video. This actually made him look more articulate
That's where I got it from. One of my favorite Parody spoofs.
