Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal, Roger Federer and Aisam-Ul-Haq Qureshi will contend for the 2011 Sportsmanship Award named after Stefan Edberg. Mauro Cappiello, founder and admin of STE...fans, the best tribute to Stefan Edberg on the web, wrote this interesting editorial on who the ideal winner is.

Moi j’ai fait un assez bon double. Stanislas pas mal.
any french speakers here? according to the dictionary, "pas mal" means "nod bad" or "well".

also swiss journalits rene stauffer, who said he was there, tweeted;

@TennisReporters i never heard him say this, and i was there. Getting strange now
@TennisReporters said unfortun. Stan didnt play his best ag fish and didnt put pressure on us. doubles was not critised by rog
@TennisReporters i checked my tape again and still cant confirm these ap quotes. Doubt he had another source than what i heard
:rolleyes:

AP :haha:

Yeah, pas mal is essentially 'not bad' or 'all right' Kind of a neutral response. Like he wasn't amazing but he wasn't terrible either.

Moi j'ai fait un assez bon double, Stan pas mal, il a eu quelque fois un peu de peine sur ses jeux de services.
So he basically said he thought he played well in doubles and Stan was not bad either, and that he just had some trouble in his service games.

This is what Federer really said after the match according to a fan, who was there:

Je viens d'entendre l'interview de Roger après le match sur le site de la TSR. Il dit :
Moi j'ai fait un assez bon double, Stan pas mal, il a eu quelque fois un peu de peine sur ses jeux de services.
Il n'a pas dit :
mais Stan pas tant

As I said before it is a storm in the waterglass. For some it seems better to blame someone they don't like than to bother for the truth.

I suggest you look up the Fish-Wawrinka match/livescore thread, it's the Fed fans who say this, not the Fed haters.

And I'm the furthest thing from a hater, if you called me a Rafa fangirl, you would've been closer to the truth.

So they translated "pas mal" by "not so much"? :lol:

Nothing wrong with what Fed said, surely he didn't dissed Wawrinka. Was he supposed to praise him? He couldn't beat an out of form Fish on clay and was the one losing his serve in the doubles.

I don't care what you are. I just know you are talking BS when you say you know what Fed thinks. And it is true that Wawrinka did mess up as he never supports Fed the way Fed usually supports his team (in terms of wins). I don't see a problem there. Fedfans=/=Federer.
