Mate, what I don't get is that this bloke is 6th seed!? :huh: How'd he manage that and then all we see of this guy is a masterclass of S**t.

What annoys me most is that the Australian Tennis board clearly don't come down hard on this guy. 

He doesn't have the passion for the sport, it is as simple as that IMO.

6th seed? i'm starting to think a great deal of tennis is on the take. or perhaps there were five kids who could hit the ball back over a net on occasion and then lord knows. SHAME TENNIS AUSTRALIA SHAME.

It's like watching a train wreck with those two and you can't avert your eyes because it's so mind numbingly awful and amazing at the same time.

And don't forget the other one ??

if i may flog the deceased equine one more time - and disgusted is not the same as obsessed, i assure you.

our poor little petal has been forced to withdraw from a game in mexico because of the excessive heat. it so happened he was losing but i'm sure that had nothing to do with it.

and the heat? a whopping 27C. this from a kid who grew up in Queensland. 27 C is a nice winter's day. fortunately he made a quick recovery and was on court again two hours later to play doubles. why has he not been banned for life?

meanwhile, the other pumpkin was nearby and ended up abusing the crowd and anyone else within cooee. tennis australia is no doubt too busy painting its toenails to do anything.

more to the point, why would anyone pay money to see these idiots?

You seriously have to wonder if this is real or not. I mean, has Andy Kaufman's 'wrestling show' come back from the dead or something?

This is so surreal purely because it defies belief. I've no words to describe how ludicrous this is.

The only slight interest I have in tennis is to see what dumb and dumber are up to. 

they never fail to deliver :D

This came to mind when I read your post :D I mean both Dumb and Dumber could do this on the court and it would be more entertaining compared to their tennis.

Come on, Prez!  You don't think Federer's run at the Aussie Open wasn't a spectacular sight to see?  Tennis is a remarkable showcase of individual ability.  ...And, as it turns out, occasional wankery...

Don't get me wrong....i appreciate the skills!

I just can't watch 3 or 5 sets of tennis. I haven't been able to do so since Gabriela Sabatini retired and that had nothing to do with Tennis. 

I can't watch every over of cricket. I can only watch a little basketball. I have the attention span of a gnat.

have never forgiven a burmese friend of mine who was a friend of sabatini's and would have been happy to introduce us had he known - i learnt this well after wimbledon. not happy.

my burmese mate, chang, was a mad cricket fanatic. used to play with us - a number 11 who did not bowl and had to be hidden at fine leg but who worked for the bbc and apparently had/has the record of being the most widely listened to cricket commentator on the planet. he did bbc asia and that meant he had literally many millions of listeners.

tyhese days, tennis and basketball - watch the last few minutes. covers everything.

wish i had only watched a few minutes of those appalling reds last night.
