The guy is an animal. Kidding, he's back in form for sure. In his last match it wasn't like Berdych stunk up the joint or blew it, Monfils was flat out firing, running everything down, dude can cover some serious ground.
Tennis gods were feeling bad for me and gave me Gael, on the day 1-3 and down about 4 :facepalm:
GOD goes down
gulbis :facepalm:
6-2'd in the last set :facepalm: wtf

A certain player once again spoke candidly about his views on his fellow players, this time including not just Rafael Nadal but also the rest of the top 4 players. Ernests Gulbis spoke with L?Equipe in his usual frank manner. The Telegraph published an op-ed about the interview. Here are excerpts from the article. Read the full article here.
?Tennis today badly lacks characters,? said Gulbis, whose French Open came to an end when he lost to Ga?l Monfils on Wednesday afternoon.
?I respect Roger, Rafa, Novak and Murray but, for me, all four of them are boring players. Their interviews are boring. Honestly, they are c?.?
Gulbis?s comments, published in the French newspaper L?Equipe, will resonate with many of tennis?s broadcasters and promoters, as well as the fans who still flock to see John McEnroe stage mini-tantrums at seniors events around the world.
?It is Federer who started this fashion,? he said. ?He has a superb image of the perfect Swiss gentleman. I respect Federer but I don?t like it that young players try to imitate him. When I hear them answer like Roger, I am terrified by phrases like, ?I had a little bit more success at certain moments and that is how I won.?
?If I win, the guy on the other side of the net, I have sent him home. I do not want to hear in an interview a guy who I will not name, but who I know well that he thinks all his opponents are a?holes, putting on an act.
?I would like interviews to be more like in boxing. When they face each other down at the weigh-in they bring what the fans want: war, blood, emotion.?

He's right....the top players have zero personality outside Djokovic...none
Gulbis wants to be safin so bad
But Murray, federer, and Nadal are boring as shit....at least joker shows some passion.
These other three are robots
And fed is the most overrated player of all time..a great yes, but a good majority of his slams came when roddick was the next best player...what does that say...
Show a pulse....do the chicken like Tsonga...break some raquets.....don't just pick your ass......that's all

Fed is the best ever......
Yet over-rated at the same time.
Interesting.
Not sure you can be over-rated when you are the best to ever play tennis.
Not quite sure how that works:mj03:
Where did I say fed was best ever?
He's not....of the modern era Nadal and Djokovic are better IMO and can't judge their careers til they r over
Look who he's beaten for his majors...outside a few no one.....now look at joker and Nadal who they've beaten....shit joker even had to beat Tsonga for one...that's depth....roger beat roddick roddick and more roddick and some scrubs....he's on par with maybe Agassi and that's a disservice to andre

You didn't but you should have.
Fed is clearly the best ever to play tennis, not even close.
Not even a debate.
Fed is so clearly the best to ever play tennis, again, no debate.
As for Agassi, he's maybe 14th or 15th on the list.
We can disagree about fed....just my opinion
Holy shit!!!! A greggriffin sighting....still sporting the 2013 French open champions avatar....well done

i can't keep up with you bleed
you are an atp whore
from gulbis, tsonga, sock, to the next flavor of the week
I'm pretty transparent
Love gulbis and Tsonga
Like and respect joker
Hate and respect Nadal
Hate and think fed luckboxed his birthday to play when Andy roddick was only competition
Like to see all the Americans do well except querry and isner who I can't stand
That's it in a nutshell....there will be no flavors of the week
Fed is by far the best ever, one of the true gentleman of the sport as well, there is no debate, stats do not lie
Always like fed, ask any of the pros and they will all say he is the best to ever pick up the racket
Long live fed
