Congrats, Tomas :hatoff: better keep serving like that if Haas fails as pig matador (he'll probably end up as pig doormat) Andy, I still don't like you, but get well. Jimnik 10-19-2006, 12:22 PM The title of this thread. :rolleyes: Good win for Berdych. :yeah: He's shown again why he's such a strong indoor player. Andy's tie-break record keeps getting worse and worse. There was a time when he won 9/10 TBs, but now he doesn't even win half of them. :confused: Loremaster 10-19-2006, 12:23 PM HAHA it always easy to play with opponent who can't run at all, you play cross all the time and it is what Tomas did, nothing spectacular Deboogle!. 10-19-2006, 12:24 PM roddick wanted to finish apparently, he was "injured" from 3-2 in the secondWhy the quotes? He has a chronic tendinitis problem that flared up in his first match and clearly affected his movement there :shrug: Maybe he shouldn't have played at all, that's his choice, if he had retired people woud've called him a pussy or something, so he is a man and finishes the match and people question whether he was hurt. I love MTF :haha: Yappa 10-19-2006, 12:25 PM Ah, I hope he can at least play Paris, if he doesnt defend his title in Lyon. nobama 10-19-2006, 12:32 PM LOL 7-6 6-3 is slaughter?? Andy couldn't move at all in second set, was very badly injured Why was he playing if he was "badly injured"? To me that's plain stupid. Congrats, Tomas! Now go slaughter your bitch Nadal (assuming Haas doesn't do it first). :devil: Scotso 10-19-2006, 12:33 PM HAHA it always easy to play with opponent who can't run at all, you play cross all the time and it is what Tomas did, nothing spectacular :yawn: I didn't see the match, but there's a major trend on MTF now of players being "injured" when they lose... according to their favorites.

I love MTF :haha: Yes, it's his choice. If he played, he must have not been that badly injured. adee-gee 10-19-2006, 12:34 PM :sad: for Andy, I didn't see it I hope he isn't too badly hurt. At least this gives Rafa the chance to set the record straight with Berdych providing he beats Haas :) Neely 10-19-2006, 12:36 PM Hopefully he does not have something bad which keeps him out for long time that he would have to forfeit his Masters Cup participation.

Andy is no different; when he retires it is because he could risk further damage, etc. I can list probably 5 other matches off the top of my head alone where he's played/finished a match hurt when he maybe shouldn't have:) Plus I am bored and tired and have nothing better to do at work right now ;) Action Jackson 10-19-2006, 11:35 PM Good win by Tomas, he plays well against the bigger players and he has improved his consistency this year, inspite of what some commentators are saying about him.

Well I picked it actually for a few reasons. The Duck doesn't have a great record in Madrid, the power from Roddick doesn't bother him. I mean 7-6 isn't surprising at all, especially when both have the serve going. The one annoying thing was they both decided to wear the same outfit albeit with different sponsors.

That tie break was critical, it was so close that the winner of the 1st set would get a serious boost for the rest of the match. Andy was not good enough to close it out one mini break up, it is interesting that his tiebreak record has deteriorated relative to his 2003 days. On a side note, I think this win is also important for the DC tie next year, it is hard to see Andy winning on indoors clay against Tomas now.

You'd think with his serve Roddick would do well in TB's, then again his return is so-s0, so that costs him. Pretty much right whoever got the TB was going to get some extra confidence. Well, as for the DC, it does depend on who the second player is for the Czechs, since Novak is retiring.

So what if he didn't retire because he didn't want to lose $40,000? Maybe that much money is chump change for Roddick, but it's still a heck of a lot of money. I would have been pissed more if the Duck had that kind of mindset, and just told himself "I'm better than this, so I don't care." That's just plain conceited. If you're pissed off at his comment, Roddick and other athletes are paid to keep a certain kind of image that doesn't hurt their reputation. Saying "I just didn't want to lose money" would be a big no-no. It's not just Roddick that would say that. Anyone would, and does. Unless you're just pissed off at Roddick because he's Roddick, and have to find something to be angry about. Nothing I can do for you there. partygirl 10-20-2006, 04:22 AM Unless you're just pissed off at Roddick because he's Roddick, and have to find something to be angry about.

It is hard to see Andy winning a 5 set match on clay against Tati Rascon, let alone world #11 Rafa killing Tomas "berdman" Berdych. :p its.like.that 10-20-2006, 04:31 AM I see you've posted a pic of Roddick. Now where's Bird man? he's with your birdbrain. ;) its.like.that 10-20-2006, 04:34 AM i think that is more it - (no matter how cute the AV) i don't care who or what you are 40K is a lot of money. You think Bill Gates or the Google boys would give a flying fu*k about 40k? Everything is relative, and when you're worth millions (or billions), then 40k is nothing. I've seen Andy lose more than that at the Crown Casino. :rolleyes: bluefork 10-20-2006, 04:37 AM i think that is more it - (no matter how cute the AV) i don't care who or what you are 40K is a lot of money. He'd lose more money than that if he injured himself more and couldn't play for the rest of the season. And I can't be a Grover fan and not a Roddick fan? :p General Suburbia 10-20-2006, 05:24 AM You think Bill Gates or the Google boys would give a flying fu*k about 40k?

You said it yourself, these guys are billionares. Bill is worth 50 billion. Believe it or not, millionares do have limits. What's being argued about, however, is not so much the money itself but player's attitude about it and the reaction it may/may not recieve. "Image is everything." As for the gambling thing, gambling always finds itself in a whole different factor. Arguments based on betting ends up inconsistant. Seeing as how long you've been here, I would presume that you're pretty knowledgeable about tennis and tennis players. And yet you have $0 vCash. partygirl 10-20-2006, 05:54 AM And I can't be a Grover fan and not a Roddick fan? :p NOpe.:) & I think i will just have General Suburbia speak for me from now on;) *note: you don't get/have/keep millions if you blow tens of thousands on nothing.

I have seen Roddick lose well over 50k in one night at the casino, so it doesn't seem he values money as highly as you think. And what does vcash have to do with anything? :lol: Anytime I had a decent bankroll, Amanda the stupid sl*t took most of it away for no good reason, and later on I was actually in severe debt when I deleted my ridiculous blog. :lol: They also take it away when they decide to delete my posts - I wouldn't be surprised if this one is deleted, but oh well. If you want to talk about gambling or want me to teach you about it, just ask. :wavey: oz_boz 10-20-2006, 09:42 AM Good win by Tomas, he plays well against the bigger players and he has improved his consistency this year. It'd be great to see him improve his ranking too. Maybe top ten for the first time, then again he is likely going down after Paris... I Love Kitties 10-20-2006, 01:03 PM I felt so bad for Andy :( He was in such bad pain. tangerine_dream 10-20-2006, 03:39 PM Couldn't find one. Of course not.

Nothing I can do for you there. With bluefork, that pretty much sums it up. Im drunk but roddick sucks Hey! The Cards beat the Mets last night! They're going to the World Series :woohoo: I am never going to get Nadal vs Roddick am I :( :( I know, right? :mad: bluefork 10-20-2006, 04:36 PM With bluefork, that pretty much sums it up. Why do you talk like you know me? I've only been posting on MTF for a month. I'm pretty sure I'm entitled to like and dislike whatever players I want.

Please point me in the direction where "Roddick fans" gloated yesterday.:wavey: I don't lump all fans of any player together. There are decent Roddick fans, then again there are A-Rod's 'tards. The same holds true for Fed, Nadal, Ljubicic, Nalbandian and other polarising people. I'd say most vocal fans of one camp tend to provoke the worst 'tardness of the opposing camp, and vice versa, in a neverending circle. :rolleyes: | |
