WTFinale: Long time coming.

 
Is there anyone out there who isn’t happy for Nikolay Davydenko? It’s been such a long time coming, but good things happen to those persist, and it’s been such a well-deserved win for Davo. 
For the casual tennis followers, Davo’s probably about as fascinating as a pencil sharpener. But give it time and the little Russian [...]

Offseason Sticky: Yer didn’t think tennis is really finished, did ya?

The minute Fed, Rafa, Muzz and Djoko were all out of the competition, I’m guessing you put your feet up in the air and started writing your Christmas shopping list.
 

 
Oh-how-silly-of-you. Does tennis ever really stop? And knowing you freaks, half of you are frazzling over the Australian Open already. 
Posting-wise, thankfully things’ll be quieter around here. [...]

WTF: WUH-THU-FUH?

In the words of Mr Gigglefits, without him, Rafa, Sod – hell, without even Muzz or Djoko, my interest in the WTF final just went “nerrrrrrgh” [motions downwards].
 

 
It was nuclear warfare in the O2 arena today, as Mr Bodily-Waste and Mr Dimples traded blistering groundstokes for two hours. Pee had break chances in the first set, but [...]

Federporn Fridays: U-G-L-Y You ain’t got no alibi.

Since my “lack of respect” for Roger Federer is clearly the worst kept secret in twittersphere, I’ve decided to come clean.
Roger, you and I, we need to talk. Actually, just repeat after me:
“I shall not play like Ferd the turd, and get broken in my first service game.”
“I shall not go to Shankville in the [...]

WTF: the new Toothface.

The ONE time I wanted Murray through to the semi, the ONE. EFFING. TIME. No, even better: Juan Martin del Potro has played nothing but shithouse tennis since the US Open. The one time he turned up on court with any semblance of form…  the ONE. EFFING. TIME!
Cease showing off your teeth!
 

 
But it wasn’t meant [...]

WTF: To Rafanatics.

Rafanatics, feeling a little blue? Avoiding tennis websites like a plague? Living in a see-saw state of angst and zen? Feeling unwarranted hate for non-Big 4 players like Davydenko and Soderling?
You have slumpitivis! 
Trust me, I’ve been there. 7 months ago, Roger was struggling through matches, posting a succession of losses against the top 4 and crying [...]

Pic/Vid Spam: Seas would rise when I say the word.

Yes, I know I’m bring up this evil song again. I can’t help myself, I’m the newly anointed Fed-hater, didn’t cha know? 
Talking about anointments, Roger received his No 1 trophy today before the Djokovic v Soderling match, which provided for the unexpected Federporn before Friday. 
 

 
I gotta say, the navy blue/brown combo [...]

WTF: Deep fried Muzz Bars, anyone?

They are Scottish right? I usually just assume anything that’s deep fried and totally unhealthy is Scottish.
You know what else is unhealthy? Roger Federer.
Being a Federer fan these days means that you find yourself in need of blood pressure meds in the middle of a match, wanting to put your cardiologists on speed-dial, or running around [...]

WTF: Yo’ Monkey ain’t funky.

 
Federer fans, let’s raise a fund to be used for giving Bobby Sod a lifetime’s supply of jelly beans, as the Dimpled Swede took down Rafa today, 6-4 6-4. 
Good news for Rafa fans? He’s playing much better than he was back in Paris (Bercy), and it was probably one of the better matches from his [...]

WTF Day 1: Would the Real Roger Federer please stand up?

Who was that guy that turned up in the first set to play Fernando Verdasco in London yesterday? Seriously, who was that?!
We all have different names for him – Fred, Federror, the Evil One, Ferd the turd – you know?! That guy who lives in Shanksville, double faults on important points, forehands flying into the [...]
