No problem on MTF, most days you just pronounce M-U-G-S, except after given matches, when you bellow G-O-A-T, with the more refined adding the adjective candidate just to show how nuanced they are.

BTW, Nadal is usually pronounced MUNBALER around here.

We're famous for our higly developed use of language and variety of synonims.

:devil:

Sorry but I don't know how his surname should be written phonetically in English :eek: I think I've already written a couple times on MTF that this is freaking difficult surname even in Poland. Some Polish people hearing this surname would write it with 3 errors "Pszysienrzny" instead of "Przysiężny" :eek:
