The Murkovic Thread

[z]

She needs to maintain a top 10 ranking the us open is a source of many points Mcenroe says playing doubles is a much better altenative to training though i bet she's been hearing that from a certain big haired lothario too

they despise each other actually ( i side with Amelie in the dispute )

I like them both but Roger needs to start sharing Wimbo now !
I like how Nadal seams to speek perfectish english but with a mightily impreganable accent
The bloke Nadal had the 5 day match with was mocking the short adjustments with exagerrated ones of his own

[JamesMFan]

I really had no idea she was seeded at No.3 until very late and then I was like "Wow. Really? Go Murray, what a score. " I don't get why Mixed Doubles don't account to seeding cos Murray is now at no.29 in doubles but a Wimbledon Final would have pushed him into the teens I tells ya! The way she's like "My singles are more important" is annoying cos of the Murkovic but oddly empowering too, yeah be an independant woman! woo.

What's the dispute about?

Nadal reminds me of Neanderthal man. I don't particularly like Federer either, I thought Gasquet was good looking but I liked Soderling (the Nadal Mocker )

[z]

The seedings are a bit skewed by the Williams sisters only playing the big events so theyre rankings slip to the 20's when theyre always in the semis/finals of the crucial tournaments
But you cant knock a world number 3

He's now the uk's top ranked Doubles performer officially
i think the doubles peoples prize money is 1/1000th of the singles prizes too , so shes no fool

Mauresmo used to get to Finals and then crack up and have a nervous breakdown and lose everytime then in the Aussie open she was on the brink of conquering herdemons against Henin and instead of letting her have her glorious Hex ending moment Henin said '' duck it , i cant be arsed with this , im injured , see ya suckers '' so Mauresmos breakthrough Grand Slam was tainted then they met in the Wimbledon final and the public hadnt forgotten oh no and Mauresmo was wildly suppported throughout and nearly choked again but came thrrough slaying Henin its quite a biitter saga

Nadals got a good bewildered sort of look of a Neanderthal
apparentlt Gasquet was as good as Federer when they were both 5 , bah wheres yours slams son!

[JamesMFan]

Stop trying to downplay her Number 3 ness! The Williams aren't that good, it's just because they cheat. I mean they're men playing in women's games!

Well the singles money was £700,000 and the mixed doubles was £90,000 shared so yes it's a bit less money I will concede. But so much more fun! I kind of want him to start playing singles again but obviously he's crap cos even his mum told him not to bother

Mauresmo is a choker? Ha. HA. I don't really like Henin or her, just from the cut of their jibs! I can just see Henin sayigng "See ya suckers!" too. She's really dependant on her coach. Scarily so. I think they've had a similar relationship as that girl who got kidnapped for 8 years and was all weird after.

I think Federer is losing his panach a bit but I bitterly hate Nadal because he's so uncouth And when he challenged that ball and it was in by a millimetre and Roger was like "NO! TURN HAWKEYE OFF. YOU'RE KILLING ME. THIS IS SH*T" it was so shocking and then apparently when he hit another ball out Federer sneered "Wanna challenge that one?" or something to that effect! Crickey o'reilly. It's like how the Tennis dude said Murkovic was like an episode of Hollyoaks, so is Fedal! The bitchiness.

That Djokovic is quite good, when he doesn't have a blister apparently. But I kept thinking he was represeting Japan cos of the colour of his top.

Anyway -


"Eric doesn't give me any kisses...I'm with Jelena now!"
Murray adds to the rumours by claiming he has already forgotten about regular
men's doubles partner Eric Butorac.


Aww I love Tennis now!

[z]

if i'd said that id be in all kinds of trouble

i think he really needs to do something about hid Ranking though just for respectability , im 900 the world and i last played at primary school he should aim for UK number 2 status

yeah Mauresmo had a spell of being World number 1 without having won a Grand Slam and the snide Slam winner swould say '' i know which id prefer '' she's very nice in interviews i was delighted with her win
Henins got a heartbreaking backstory so ets some sympathy she axed her whole family for her husband but now theyre back in the fold and hes gone i wonder was the coach there throughout both eras
i bet you sent that weird girl hate mail

Federer was rattled as the emerging force was emerging on his turf (literally ) i love that machine its so mighty when the umpires are wrong Nadal used it so well to wind up federer and to save bogus Federer points too
I really thought hed lose when he went nuts about the machine and had his petulant outbursts
Federer is like Tony from Hollyoaks hairwise

Djokovics heart gestures to the crowd were a great gimmick id steal that if i made it that far its a shame in a way how one year the crowd loves Baghdatis as the emerging underdog then the following year Djokovic is the emergingnew force and slays Baghdatis

im more excited about the US open than ive ever been its true i want to see the next development in the Nadal/Feder thing and to see what she does about the boy

[JamesMFan]

But I can get away with it.

He's not really that far up is he? I think he's No. 300 at the worst. I'd like to see him thrash his moodier brother.

I did not send that girl hate mail, I was happy she was free but you've always got to wonder what kind of psycho ness they may have inherited!

I want there to be a proper underdog though, like Bettany in the Wimbo film. Or I was someone to just turn up wildcard and be par excellance, and have a good personality, and be attractive, and comedic at Wimbo. Is that TOO much to ask?!


I'd like to see the US Open but they don't show it on terrestrial TV do they? I think it's so tragic the men and women don't meet up more, only in the Grand Slams. It's like Romeo and Juliet.

I've found a spectacular video of the Jankovic/Ball boy moment and some tennis too

www.youtube.com/watch?v=gmB18DG6XZg

Sometimes, such as these, I think she's great but other times she makes me wary.

[z]

his best ever world ranking is 834 no joke fix it !

she got a tonnes of hatemail for not being all delighted and condemny

that wishlist reminds me of 2001 Goran Ivanisevic turns up injured and washed up and bearded granted a wildcard due to hhis previous 3 final defeats he scrapes thruough every round and wins the ducky !!!!!! with only one working shoulder ! crikey what a year that was
his scizophrenic 'evil goran' interviews on 'today at wimbo' come back Goran

i always forget that no mixing situation i think they show the final on uktv maybe , but its on very late , its on sky certainly

i think that ballboys going to recraete that moment in his filthy mind far too many times
''a touch difficult '' come back barry davis

[JamesMFan]

Bloody hell. He should practice with Jelena, she'll learn him! In tennis.

I don't like Goran and I knew you'd mention him dammit! He wasn't attractive or funny tough, so that don't impress me much.

No mixing. It's a very homosexual sport.

Yeah the US Open is on Sky Sports, my dad sometimes watches parts of it but I usually piss off. Well not this time!

She knew what she was doing to that ball boy. Oooh, here have a towel. Scandal!

[z]

at least with his wimbo cash he'll be able to pay to go to the tournaments that arent in the uk i wonder if she'll ever win a grand slam or will this turn out to be her defining moment little does she realise

oh he had it all 4 match points wasted then glory at last ''WILD THING YOU MADE OUR HEARTS SING!'' cried the front page of the mirror the next day golden memories in his victory speech '' i want to thank the all england club for giving me the wildcard ''

famously 90% of the ladies top 10 in the late 70s according to a documentary on billie jean king , her husband stuck by her though for the first few hundred confused experimental dallliances

radio 5 is worth leaving on all night during it too excellent coverage

i hope its not all an act

[JamesMFan]

He's going to L.A in a week, I think he can afford it

God, how bad will it be if she doesn't win a grand slam? She takes losing very badly. And he won't be there to say "Give us a smile." Aww I hope she goes to Scotland for Christmas. I imagine they live in a castle

Goran Boran.

Why is it all the ladies who are accused! Nadal/Federer J'accuse!

I don't know the frequency

Do you think she'll ever call the boy?

[z]

he's sneaking onto a boat

i can imagine she'd pack quite a punch if you said that during a grand slam exit

because theyre all open about it and Federers wife wont let him out of her site there wasnt 100 tedious close ups of a woman in Nadals section though so the rumour mill can start here

909 am if you put radio one on fm then switch to am they are the same place along the dial

i fear not once a text will be returned , once .

[JamesMFan]

He'll turn up a month late looking all unshaven and Scottish and they'll think him an Albanian Refugee.

ooh ha ha. Can you imagine in. "Cheer up, love!" *WOMPF*


That would be Nadal's girlfriend. Federer's girlfriend doesn't have a career anymore apart from watching R-Fed.

I prefer to watch rather than listen. To sport!

"L8TER BBOY."

[z]

Theyll think Des from Lost finally escaped the island

i can hear a racket crunching on a jaw and posh howls of shock (if at wimbledon )

federers girlfriend is his manager actually after retiring with a bad foot she gets enough stick as it is

its a great substitute if youre skyless

i wonder if we'll see her in a blinding rage at an umpire or fan and have our views changed

[JamesMFan]

Oh, brother.

Oooh haha. She's got a devastating backhand The commoners have taken over Wimbly

Oh yes? What does she manage? To hide behind her sunglasses and watch. Woo. Go girl. Retiring with a bad foot? What did she do? She wasn't a tennis player was she?

It's always men commentating though. I like a bit of Tracey Austin Murray's mum commentates on some stuff and apparently so did Murray. Murray, A.

She has had arguments with umpire's before, apparently. I reckon she does have a temper on her. Much was made of her laughing while volleying in the doubles but she seems to take her singles extremely seriously, so I guess the doubles were her way of sort of saying "Bugger it, might as well just have a laugh." Apparently on their first press conference she walked in the room and said "Press for Mixed Doubles? What's going on?". Never underestimate the British need for the tiniest bit of Brit talent.



Aww.

[z]

she can do it to murray though and it will be sen as another charming bit of banter and he'll smile through the broken teeth

she mabages his billions in prize money and advertising they got together through mixed doubles at the 2000 olympics they were the mirkavic of there day , shes even called mirka theres a great pic of them in their matching swiss outfits

theres women galore Wade Navratilova Austin Barkers hosts it Everts the american tv host too

i bet her agents cant believe how this all turned out they probably told her not to do it too now its a tabloid sensation they might do a washing powder advert or something

good pic
