How about Vika taking advantage of the stupid MTO rule?

This is only my second year watching, but I remember almost the exact same situation last year.  Can't remember the match, but it was an obvious abuse.  I also remember several times when a player would have the trainer give them a rub down on the court when it seemed that their primary motivation was just to stop the match in order to regroup.  So, I mean, my reaction is like, "it happens," and I wonder why they talk about it like it's so shocking and controversial.

I thought Serena was faking right up until I saw that deadspin post this afternoon.

Did you see the Deadspin post about people calling Serena Sloane's mentor?  Amazing.

The Djoker better win this. Murray being the best player in the game is really sucky for mens tennis.

The other night I flipped on Fox Sports MW and rough ridin' Jim Courrier was playing John McEnroe in tennis. The weird thing was it wasn't a replay of an old match, it was these two old fuckers playing tennis in slow motion in present day.

That's when I was reminded only only like watching tight eastern European babes play tennis.

Agreed. Why settle for old, wrinkly has-been tennis dudes playing when tight, svelte Eurobabes are available?  :dance:

Mods, Pls change thread title to 2013. T-Y Swifty

I've been enjoying the French Open so far. I'm like all of the top guys (Djok, Fed, Rafa) but I would root for Roger over the other two. I really just enjoy watching high level tennis.

My dad told me that Tsonga's style reminds him of James Blake.

So do the French hate Serena or something? What an awkward crowd.

:sdeek: I don't really see that

Incidentally my tennis irl friends call me Tsonga, although it's a little racist, I suppose it applies I play a similar style and have a similar temperament on the court, frequently swearing at myself when I hit frequent awful shots.

Yep. Yep.

I hate the French Open, terrible major, obviously an afterthought considering its placement on the tennis calendar.  Bring on Wimbledon.

Its my second fav to Wimbledon.  I like how diff the clay makes the game.   Wouldn't want to watch any more than the one major on it,  though.
