Re: Nickname reference list...
Federer has been called "The Mighty Fed" by Boddo and Wertheim lately, and it seems to spread on the web...

Re: Nickname reference list...
Just curious: I see Hewitt was called the Weasel when this thread was started, when did people begin to call Coria that way? After Hamburg?

Re: Nickname reference list...
I didn't see Nadal's nicknames in your list.
One irritating thing is how some announcers pronounce "Rafa" as "Hafa" thinking that a Spanish "R" sounds like an "H". It doesn't.
Some how it sounds endearing to call Roger "Potato". I don't think his nose is that bad though. I've also heard him refered to as "Lion King".
How is Stepanek's nickname, "Tom Cruise".

Yep Cliff Drysdale is overemphasizing his pseudo-Spanish accent in a weird way... "RRRafa Nadal"

Re: Nickname reference list...
What's up with the sudden revival of 2 yr old threads on GM?
I notice that almost all of the people that contributed in the first 10 pages of the thread (registered 2002/3) are no longer users at MTF.
What happened? Was there a plague? A meteor? Did they move on to the golf forums   ?

How about some nicknames…
Starting form the top…
The way Federer wins so often and so convincingly I figure “The Terminator” would work.
With Nadal’s speed and whip-like forehand I’m thinking “The Cobra” for him.
Although Nalbandian is frequently referred to as “Fat Dave” I think he’s a lot more brawny and solid than he is fat, so I’ll go with “The Tank” for David.
Anyone else?
