Lenglen (2PM):

Garbine Muguruza (21) vs Lucie Safarova (13)

ZZ, desist arguing or challenging the mods if you wish to remain on the site, thank you.

Sure, if they play. We can't do money so what do we bet?

Possible name change of an obsequious nature?

Who you think you are - Ron Burgundy?
Hah!
I'm diversity! An old, old wooden ship that was used in the civil war era! 60% of the time it works everytime.

So you game brushy?

This is tricky, my good name is World-famous (you read Private Eye?)

Ok here goes:

Nadal beats Murray, I take two weeks name change to "bogbrush, humiliated at RG"

Murray beats Nada, you take ten weeks "Luv Sports, property of bogbrush"

The weeks are my odds. Open to alternative proposals.

Kei is such a liability. Paralympics can serve better than that.

Tsonga win I think a good result for Nadal and Djokovic, since we know his level, he's not young enough that he can suddenly go up 2 gears for a final. And not a clay specialist.

Warwinka not a bad result for Nadal and Djokovic either, although more debatable.

I follow more of Jon Stewart, Colbert Report (now gone Sad

) & John Oliver.
Motion: Can I posit a blackadder quote in that name? "Wee jock poo pong mcplop" for instance or another? I have plenty of ideas. And for the following day, the loser heaps praise on the other? Very Happy

"Bogbrush, humiliated at RG by LuvSports!" Gotta get my name in there!

I am having sessions with a therapist who has told me to experiment with my current dosage.

Go on then. I'll give you the "humiliated" against my more modest "property", but that's just the type of guy I am. 2 weeks for me against 10 for you. It's a deal.

So "Wee jock poo pong mcplop Bogbrush, humilated at RG by Luvsports". Terse, like it.

Also to clarify Murray has to win in straights vs Rafa aka receiving a "beatdown".

10 weeks or days? Wink

I am sure BB is super-confident of a Novak win tomorrow. Wink

Now we now who the real number 1 in swiss is and it aint the big nose

Big nosers can now go into morning.

Well, well, well, what goes around comes around. What do you think of Nadal's beating? He ate a breadstick too! Ale

Count yourself lucky this is not the final. Not a pretty sight. A total demolition of the ex king of clay, unsurpringly. Don't feel too bad, most alert fans saw it coming. thumbsup

You just can't travel the world and play that many consecutive Slams season after season after season, without eventually showing up with a totally flat performance where you are there for the taking ; and it will become more & more of a normal/regular pattern from now on.

He will continue to trouble a lot of rookie, younger players for some time to come. But the ability to produce enough of the old quality, and with enough consistency, to see him through the business end of Slams is pretty much gone.
But as I say, numbskulls like Wilander will still say he's better than ever. What do they smoke?

More excuses as usual

Big nose is lucky that stan didn't find his mojo earlier or he coulda been on 13 slams instead of the inflated 17 and swiss number too for many years

and Nadal is lucky Nole didn't find his mojo earlier :-)

by your logic that Stan beating Federer proved who the real #1 Swiss has always been, then we can now positively say after this beatdown on clay that Djoko is the real #1 of his/Nadals generation, right?

or should we just ignore what you say and get back so some sense or reality?

Nope, dont reengage this. Youre better than that.
