2 days late tsc tsc

been watching it at night while playing some pc games. poor sharapova

drew · « **Reply #5 on:** January 19, 2010, 09:55:40 PM »

that site is amazing btw and i recommend everybody check it out

it comes in handy in times when theyre showing womens tennis on the broadcast channel when roddick and gonzalez are on court elsewhere (like right now)

the only negative is the commentators, not that theyre bad, but they arent as good as the espn crew, but thats asking too much anyways

was gonna make a thread, but you usually do it.

GO ANDY

oh my god i just watched an entire changeover, when theyd usually cut to commercial, and it was more awesomely awkward and boring than i could ever had imagined, the commentators forgot to turn of their mics too, which added to the ambiance

CajoleJuice · « **Reply #8 on:** January 19, 2010, 10:05:04 PM »

i post this link in here because it got ignored in the reading thread and this is where the tennis fans are:

http://www.esquire.com/features/sports/the-string-theory-0796

yeah it's long and the footnotes sometimes are so long as to not fit on your screen (i read it in his essay collection), but it's basically the best sportswriting i've ever read

drew · « **Reply #9 on:** January 19, 2010, 11:15:35 PM »

did anybody see the end to the roddick match? it was great, two match points in a row that were called in favor of andy were challenged by the brazillian guy, and he won both, andy said bullshit and the mic picked it up, then he didnt shake hands with the umpire and he got booed off the court

CajoleJuice · « **Reply #10 on:** January 19, 2010, 11:16:44 PM »

lol roddick

Akala · « **Reply #11 on:** January 20, 2010, 07:17:56 AM »

**edit**

oh, he won. lol roddick.

KEEP ROLLIN ANDY

EBAO'10 exclusivo, ND has confirmed the PS4.

Quote from: Nikolay Davydenko

"I want to be fast. I want to be running fast," Davydenko said. "Del Potro told me now I am like PlayStation 3. Everybody is thinking I am very fast on the court.

"Now I try to be faster and faster and come to level PlayStation 4. I hope I can do this. It's very important to me."

but i need to go to bed

im calling it now, davydenko wins

bud · « **Reply #22 on:** January 27, 2010, 10:37:39 AM »

i don't think nadal's ever going to get close to his old form.

federer's going to win it this year. i don't think murray's good enough to beat him. oh well.

CajoleJuice · « **Reply #23 on:** January 27, 2010, 01:25:51 PM »

I think Murray can beat him, as he looked pretty damn great in the Nadal match.

Flannel Boy · « **Reply #24 on:** January 27, 2010, 01:35:30 PM »

He'll lose badly.

New Prediction: Mets lose badly in 2010.

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #29 on:** January 31, 2010, 02:00:11 PM »

New Prediction: Malek's drought continues through 2012, until his daily bout with alcohol poisoning ends in a loss.

Flannel Boy · « **Reply #30 on:** January 31, 2010, 02:04:22 PM »

Seems like more of a win for everyone.

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #31 on:** January 31, 2010, 02:06:03 PM »

Not true: alcohol distilleries everywhere will cry at the thought of layoffs.

drew · « **Reply #32 on:** January 31, 2010, 03:29:01 PM »

i didnt stay up last night to watch this, is it worth it to watch the match or should i just skip to the end for the lulz?

CajoleJuice · « **Reply #33 on:** January 31, 2010, 03:58:55 PM »

Just watch the final tiebreak, I guess.
