I will use Johnny's same format for the first post. And I will also retro-award November to Almagro and December to USTA based on the nominations made in the 2012 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"

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 , and general arse-clowning

7. (Applies to organizations: bad organizing, play conditions, letting rain fall too much, or having pot holes on the courts)

It appears as though Slasher has reached the same conclusion as I did.

Mug of the Month award is so very tough to hand out, for there are far too many worthy candidates every month.

This award is free to be phased out, unless you want to take over rocketassist?

Mmmmm Ferrer's 5-6 15-30 point alone makes him a huge contender, but I have to give it to Haase's consistency! :worship:

I would like to give this thread back to the original owner. He was banned for who knows how long back when I started it and by no means did I want to 'steal' it from him. It's his creation.

So, Mods and Johnny, if possible, please create a new 2013 thread, close this one and link the new to the old, so that users may find it easier.:)
