Poor Andy, his new hairstyle isnt helping, it seems.

He'll be no. 11 next week: that's something that has not happened in the last four years (14.08.2006, #12)
And watch it: he will retired if the drops to No. 15... the time is close...

oh, and by the way:

lucky motherfucker...


Meanwhile Del Potro is still in the top 10 :rolleyes:

2,000 points is a BIG help, you know?... if he lose them in NY next month, he will drop to no. 50 or something... :(


Nalbandian is doing well, is he 'back'?

I hope so! He's one of the most talented and "lionheart" players of the entire tour in the last decade. I still remember his amazing match against Roger in Shanghai at the Masters Cup, where Roger was 95-2 or something, and it was going to break that record (better percentage), 2 sets to love...


Well, whoever gets him as a higher seed in the draw at the US Open isn't going to be happy, because that's his favorite event.

couldn't agree more.
Add Gulbis, Fish, Gasquet, Karlovic and Bellucci to that list.

Highlights of the recent Murray vs Querrey final. Big American forehands!

This guy has some nice videos, mostly of Nadal though.

Is Gulbis healthy? Gulbis is one of the players I like watching on the mens sides. Very exciting game. :hatsoff:

Roger Federer is 29 today :party:

He is only 2nd favourite for Toronto though - http://www.crunchsports.com/categor...ger-Federer-the-second-favorite-201008080005/

We're like the same age almost

and still, 3 or 4 majors left in him, IMO... :thumbsup:

We're like the same age almost

same here! :glugglug:

i thinks so, yes.
BUT, he faces Bellucci in 1st round... very, very tough. And then in the 2nd, it would be the swedish assassin... ouch. :surprise:

I gaurantee the swedish assassin doesn't want to see him, If only Gulbis wasn't from such a wealthy family he would maybe apply himself more. Dude's got major tallent. I wish I was that good. :(

David Nalbandian won the ATP 500 of Washington (USA)

http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,12110_6301826,00.html

It his 11th career title, first in 19 months. Great news for "The King" David, who returns in great form to battle his way into the top-20 or top-10 in the world.
This week he will face Ferrer in Toronto's 1st round, in a very tough match, specially because it's in only two days.

For Baghdatis, it was his 2nd final of the year, third in the last 10 months. He will face Chardy this week, and probably Verdasco in the 2nd.

Nalbandian has serious game. Very tallented. Saw the finish of that match.

very serious.
I remember Roger in Oz Open 2006, saying in the SFs about David, that he was a truly no. 1 contender for himself. Not far from the truth (at the time)

Tallented? damn, have you seen his angled backhand? finest of the tour, no doubt.

Guts? double damn! did you see him in the Davis Cup against Sweden and Russia? all heart.

More GOATing by David(Nalbandian). His stats are crappy but he still won - http://www.imagebam.com/image/8523b092499525

and today he will defeat Robredo. :2 cents:

Soderling had a tight match against Gulbis, break point conversion was crucial :hammer: - http://www.imagebam.com/image/e6a09692499535

Soderling-Nalbandian, THAT'S a great match :thumbsup:
vamos David!!!

...and Cilic lost again :sleep:

yeah. It's a shame what's happening with this kid. He was the brightest star for a couple months in the begginning of this year, but since then, he's very very dark... :(



oh, and by the way, Roger won yesterday night.
IMO, he played really good. A couple errors with the backhand, but his forehand worked great, very aggressive, very fit, very motivated.

Verdasco lose. Again.
Before the R16. Again.
Against a low-ranked player. Again.

he has lost 5 of his last 8 matches.

He sucks.

He's a handsome guy. Maybe he's gettin' a lot of "pre-match" tail at clubs/parties..a la the Richard Gasquet approach to tourney prep? :dunno:

^and post match, and maybe in between sets if he's lucky. He must have been with half the WTA by now. Ok, not really, but quite a few.
Highlights of Feds match, with pink(or salmon?) shirt. Playing aggressive, coming to net more. Tips from Annacone?

don't think so.

IMO, he's more a i'll-pay-you-for-a-blowjob than a i'll-pay-you-for-a-joint guy. :2 cents:

^and post match, and maybe in between sets if he's lucky.

:elaugh:

you can't blame him: imagine fuckin Anna Ivanovic in the ass in a 6-1 5-2 break... :bowdown:

don't think so. Roger is, and has been aggresive almost all his life. Remember the defeat against Baghdatis in Miami this year? Marcos said roger was "too agressive" and Roger said "too passive"!

i guess the Annacone factor is the calm. I mean, Roger's level has been too fluctuant this year, even in the same match. That's the thing he must correct with Paul's help, IMO.
