This deserves a thread of its own, this is shoddy journalism at its worst.

Volandri titles in Italy

Palermo, Italy (Sports Network) - Sixth-seeded Italian Filippo Volandri notched his second career singles title with a straight-set win in Sunday's final at the $390,000 Palermo International tennis event.

Volandri registered a 6-4, 6-2 triumph over Russian Igor Andreev. On Saturday, the Italian posted identical straight-set victories in a quarterfinal and semifinal match.

Last year's Palermo runner-up to Czech Tomas Berdych, Volandri pocketed $53,000 for his work on Sunday.

Andreev claimed $31,000 as the runner-up.

Re: Article: Volandri has allegedly won Palermo already

I mean come on the score isn't right and also if they knew this already. I'd be saying "It's a fix, it's a fix".

Sack the clown who wrote this.

Great result Andreev won 0-6 6-1 6-3.

This journalist is a fool and a moron and I wonder what they were smoking when they wrote this.

thanks for jinxing Volandri :tape:
Re: STUPID JOURNALISM Alert: Volandri has won Palermo already???

I wonder what they will say to retract that mistake. Some possibilities:

"A positive proof of divide intervention"
"Journalist is caught smoking pot"
"WTA virus out of control"

I think anyone who is going to a tournament should keep this article and get Igor to read it.

Re: STUPID JOURNALISM Alert: Volandri won Palermo

this is pretty bad. he/she even invented a score :retard:
Re: STUPID JOURNALISM Alert: Volandri won Palermo

How is a mistake like that even possible? It's not as if they got someone's nationality wrong or something relatively minor - I'm struggling to find one correct bit of information in that article.
Re: STUPID JOURNALISM Alert: Volandri won Palermo

Volandri and Andreev were in the final that is the only correct thing in this article.

This has won the Stupid Journalism Award for the year.
Re: STUPID JOURNALISM Alert: Volandri won Palermo

Certainly an impressive 'result' for Volandri, but a poor result in the end.
Re: STUPID JOURNALISM Alert: Volandri won Palermo

Maybe it was supposed to be a fix but Andreev changed his mind mid match? ;)
Re: STUPID JOURNALISM Alert: Volandri won Palermo

Oh God! :haha:
