Rafa is truly the man!
cheesy cheesy
Re: Talking Tennis: Roland Garros Kicks Off by RuuDie(m): 9:28am On Jun 11, 2007
Couldn't have been any greater,

I just hope Rafa can build on this form and up his game on grass so that he can give Federer many more heart-aches in other tourneys !
Re: Talking Tennis: Roland Garros Kicks Off by viee(f): 9:34am On Jun 11, 2007
My feelings exactly!
it was reaaly a good game though as always

on grass, the odds will be aganist him but im sure that with this form, he will do just fine wink

this just makes the game more intresting
Federer cant just keep winning all the time
im glad Rolland Garros is still elusive to him grin grin grin
Re: Talking Tennis: Roland Garros Kicks Off by RuuDie(m): 9:43am On Jun 11, 2007
u seem 2 really like tennis or is it just nadal ? wink --- how long have u been following the game ?
Re: Talking Tennis: Roland Garros Kicks Off by viee(f): 9:56am On Jun 11, 2007
LOL
no not just Nadal
use o like Federer shocked
then Nadal came and i feel out luv with Federer cheesy

i love the energy in tennis
i love the flair
im crazy abt the william sistas

funny my fav turf is clay no wonda i luv Nadal grin

i have been following Tennis for sometime
it dosnt get much popularity on air around here
so it s a bit hard to keep up sad

i follow grand slams to the latter though
for me it is like world cup! grin cheesy
Re: Talking Tennis: Roland Garros Kicks Off by RuuDie(m): 10:18am On Jun 11, 2007
I never really used to be much of a tennis buff way back when but i'd always digged Andre Agassi & followed his matches whenever i could, also like Martina Navratilova back then kuz she looked more like the studious !
well, my interest in tennis now is as a result of the coverage given it by the Sterling Sports Express Crew on CoolFm radio --- heck, those guys even make cricket look so darn good ! grin
i like Nadal, can't say why but sori we differ on the Williams' --- just don't dig 'em, they remind me a lil' too much of Mike Tyson !

lol

that shld be serena i guess grin grin
Venus looks every bit feminine

serena however is my chick anyday
she has power that i love to see
i even got her on my profile
she has loud mouth the only part i dont like angry


Andre Agassi was good in his days, got a loud ovation in that US open when he retired
Boris Becker was a genius;love him

Jennifer Capriate(hope i got the spellig right undecided) is anoda lady i loves her tennis
im undecisive on Kim undecided to me she was just there undecided

at present i like Novak, i hope he improves on his game and talk less a well
Re: Talking Tennis: Roland Garros Kicks Off by RuuDie(m): 11:42am On Jun 11, 2007
grin grin
U got the name correct all thru but missed out on the last letter its an "I" insteada "E" --- Capriati ! Liked her a lot back then but my fav was always Hingis !

The williams' remind me of Tyson kuz of the way they play --- they come into the game way too aggressively for my liking looking to end it quickly, unfortunately wuth very little tact; that's why i liken 'em to Iron mike. drag the game longer & u just might beat 'em ! i agree that serena's better looking even though she's a bit on the muscular side but by gawd is she loaded wink cheesy grin --- bet she gets mo' of the attention & why not !

Aside Nadal, no other favs 4 now but i got my eye on Canas !
Re: Talking Tennis: Roland Garros Kicks Off by viee(f): 11:53am On Jun 11, 2007
Canas? shocked
d drug baron shocked

kidding

what of Nalbadian?
Blake?

they fall apart at the crucial moment cry cry cry
Re: Talking Tennis: Roland Garros Kicks Off by RuuDie(m): 12:15pm On Jun 11, 2007
viee:

Canas? shocked
d drug baron shocked
kidding


grin grin grin
James Blake, David Nalbadian, Lleyton Hewitt, Andy Murray, Roddick --- just don't know what's wrong with 'em dudes. maybe they're not as good as they're hyped.
I think Canas has got talent plus he's got age on his side ! I also fancy Ljubicic; basically, most players of latino origins i tend to favor !
bet Federer is still the yardstick by which all male players will be measured --- he really blew 'em all apart once upon a time !

dunno much about the female pack; Henin, Sharapova & the williams' are the only name that readily comes to my head everytime but back then i was so into 'em, now --- i'm just lost; so many super-models out there ! grin
Re: Talking Tennis: Roland Garros Kicks Off by viee(f): 12:24pm On Jun 11, 2007
lol

sharapova is also doin the model thing no wonda she is not doin well also
Kim and henin cant exactly pass for models yu know cheesy
Jankovic plays well
thing is, just like men tennis, some females at their best can only be beaten by the best
we keep hearing same old names and few new ones
the russians and the serbs do what the latinos do men tennis

serena can resurrect and win something
henin at the moment is no 1 and though i hate to admit, she absolutely deserves it
Re: Talking Tennis: Roland Garros Kicks Off by RuuDie(m): 12:43pm On Jun 11, 2007
You're spot-on about the Russians & Serbs; they've also got names that sound so similar, tha you'd think they were clones ! grin
The Yankees are losing their shine on the circuit now --- Sampras, Agassi & Co. sure have left a lot of weight on the shoulders of the younger generation & they're having one heck of a hard time carrying !
