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 [...]

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 [...]

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 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.

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 [...]

Picspam: Ichi. Ni. San. Shi. SAKE BOMB!

Here I was thinking that just because Del Poop lost early, he wouldn’t be shoved in my face anymore. Clearly I was wrong.
No, it would have been too un-Japanese not to take advantage of a corporate photo-op with token black and white people learning about the local culture.
 

 
I’m all for it, if they provide me [...]

Tokyo/Beijing: You too, boys?

 
The boys caught a bad bout of the upset bug today as Roddick and Del Potro both fell in straight sets to qualifiers Kubot and Roger-Vasselin. What a shi-
Oh hang on, it’s the ATP. ATP = depth. WTA = shithouse.
Got it. 
What depth in men’s tennis! All just further proof of my conviction that the quality [...]

Quotable Quotes: Extradition.

For the most part, I think Pat Cash is full of crap. But once in a while, my compatriot actually says something that I half-heartedly agree with. (That is, apart from Andy Murray having a dull voice.)
I know, shocking.

Q: You said a moment ago that no-one expected Del Potro to beat [...]
