Kind of similar to the bandwagon player of the month award, this one is given to the player who loses terribly against people they should win against, sucks horribly, loses people money, says something arseclownish in an interview, has an incident in a match, whatever the case may be, but anything that gives that player "Mug Points"

Other criteria involve:

1. Playing well below your capability.

2. Mental incapacity (AKA: lack of balls)

3. Losing to someone you really shouldn't

4. Failing to live up to expectation

5. Losing Jaap or dylan money

6. Saying dumb shit in interviews, yelling at umpires, yelling at ballboys :rolleyes:, and general arse-clowning

I actually think he would get the majority of the votes on this site every month if there was a poll :rolls:

Blaze's avater looks rather funny in the light of the recent occurances :lol:

Hewitt could be a contender with his ''conditions'' comment and then losing easily to Tsonga. :lol:

Re: 2008 MTF Mug of the Month

[For now..]Hewitt - Ridiculous comments earlier on in the month about the heat rule. On top of that he is apparently in the shape/form of his life and then gets a spanking from Tsonga..
I'm a Hewitt fan but this month, so far, has not been his best.. But I will refrain from making a definitive pick until the end of the month.

Re: 2008 MTF Mug of the Month

For now I nominate
1- Hewitt
2- Nadal

but January is a long month

Re: 2008 MTF Mug of the Month

Obviously Hewitt, for his recent arseclownish comments on the heat rule. Fortunately he got his ass kicked by Tsonga, :lol:.

But - we're not even half way January, so I'm pretty sure we'll have plenty more mug candidates! :p

Fun thread. :)

Kind of similar to the bandwagon player of the month award, this one is given to the player who loses terribly against people they should win against, sucks horribly, loses people money, says something arseclownish in an interview, has an incident in a match, whatever the case may be, but anything that gives that player "Mug Points"
For the reason bolded above, I would say Hewitt right now.
