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: 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 [...]

Pahree: Whatever. Life still hates me.

So Djokovic took down Nadal. As much as I was rooting for him to stop Rafa, I felt horrible that it actually happened. Mind you, Rafa probably shoulda lost first match, it’s amazing that he even tumbled into the semifinal like he was there by accident. And it showed: he was outclassed. He was passive. [...]

Pahree: Life hates me.

I’m not one to complain about my lot in life. For every stretch of tough luck, you get moments like the Wimbledon fifth set, 15-14, when Lady Luck does her most extraordinary work. I try to remember that, and remember that the one thing you can’t grasp in life is luck. 
BUT THIS IS FUCKING BULLSHIT.
Tennis [...]

Basel: Don’t talk to me. I need to be alone with my misery.

SOOOOOOOO …
Roger was flat in the 3rd set.
It was one of those shanktastic days.
Fed was wasting his break points (2/11. what else is new?).
Nole deserves credit for hanging in there.
Roger would’ve won against a lot of players playing the way he did today.
He defended well, moved well, but left his offense game with Myla.
It wasn’t [...]

Basel: You have my permission to FRAZZLE.

If you were Novak Djokovic: you’ve played two bad matches, two good ones. You’ve posted good results all year, but with a terrible record in finals. And now you are presented with an opportunity to take out Roger Federer in Roger Federer Stadium, in front of his home crowd, right before the last Masters Series tournament [...]
