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: 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 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 [...]

WTF: The Frazzle Post.

Congratulations to Nikolay Davydenko on the biggest win of his career. It’s been a long time coming.

My name is the Joker and I sign it with a smile/Gimme some water I’ll be here a while.

My new favourite song – Autograph - by the Bryan bros, feat Nole and Muzz. I just love the profound way in which it explores the concept of “second hand embarrassment”. 
In fact, I’m so inspired right now, I am going to turn my tennis rhymes into a rap song, complete with a bogan accent.
 
My name is Dootsie/and [...]

Simon Reedism: the Kiss of Death.

Good news Federer fans, Simon Reed has picked Murray and Djokovic as favourites for the WTFs. Poor Nole, he was just starting to look okay. 
And bless Reed, he starts with a groundbreaking statement:
 
I’m pretty convinced that form is key for an event like the World Tour Finals.
 
Yer think? 
And much like Obama’s press conferences in China, [...]

WTF: That’s it, I’m confiscating all hair products boys.

Rafa, WHYYYYYYYYY?! You had your hair perfectly done a few months ago, and now even Roger’s trying to avoid staring at it.
Hair gel, hand over, NOW! 
 

 
You too Nando. I could make fried rice with all that grease in your hair. 
 

 
Having gone to an all-girls high school next to an all-boys high school where all the [...]

WTF?!!!!

 
Sorry for the impromptu MIA. And I’m not “back” yet. I have one last trust law exam tomorrow before I’m free as a bird til March next year. Yeah suckers, summer lovin’ had me a blast…
ANYWAY… just sneaked in to give you the WTF draws to frazzle over. And WTF is just about the way you’d [...]

Passing Thoughts: post hoc, ergo propter hoc.

Hello there! 
Excuse the intermittent blogging of late, I have 4 exams coming up in the next 6 days. Part of the deal with being a student is that you party, play, drink and procrastinate for the majority of the year, then comes every November, when life is a hell-hole and one that’s kicking your ass.
Never [...]

Passing Thoughts: Jumping Ships

1. It’s official, Andy Murray has left Fred Perry for adidas.
It’s a pity, he had spent all those years wearing whatever potato sac Fred Perry gave him, and just when the designs got better this year, Mandy’s leaving.
In an official statement, adidas confirmed that Andy will wear the Competition line and the Barricade.
