Tennis, at least it's not soccer.

I came into this thread to express my vehement irritation with the use of the abbreviation "prolly."

Carry on.

He should be winning most matches even at his age.. Serena and her brother are dudes..

And when they **** are the women going to start going 3/5.. They have had equal pay for a while, make them winning win 3 matches..

It seems to me that the only top player who doesn't have a bitchy demeanor on court is Federer (although even he was a bit of a whiner back in his youth).

"YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUS!!!!!"

Nadal isn't too bad, most of the time. Djokovic really pissed me off when he got upset at the crowd at the US Open rooting for Roddick instead of him. WTF did he expect? And then he goes and insults the crowd? Lame. They weren't actively rooting against him until he started getting pissed that they were going for the hometown boy.

That Djokovic stuff was a while ago (2008, I think). IIRC, he was upset about a comment Roddick made about him feigning injury before that match began. He's never really had the crowds on his side, but he finally learned last year how to harness that energy in a positive way.

Did you see Nadal's match against Rosol last week? The guy acted like a spoiled child, complaining to umpires and even intentionally bumping the guy on the changeover. I know he was frustrated that he was about to lose to some no-name who was locked in, but there is no reason to act like that ever.

Yeah, it was a while ago. I just never got over it. And Djokovic did feign injury almost every match a while ago. He would start losing, then call for the trainer. Sometimes, instead of taking the loss, he'd just quit the match.

I missed the Nadal match.

Also from Nadal's match last week (which was one of the most ridiculous matches I've ever seen considering the kind of zone Rosol was in):

Nadal has always been pretty respectful on the court. I don't think his behavior this week will become the norm for him

He's pretty respectful on the court when he's winning (which, fortunately for him, happens nearly every match he plays). When he's losing, though, he regresses to this bitchy state often.

I used to love tennis and boxing. Now neither one does much for me. The personalities are gone.

If they could merge the two at the net that would be sweet. Still both > soccer

Tennis is alright. I enjoy watching the Williams sisters. The sport needs a new McEnroe though.

Serena seems to be getting more and more attitude, so i like her less and less.
