First Christmas for Our Lovely Tennis Forum !!!


Dear

here's my wish list (in no particular order):

that tennis in 2013 becomes whiter than White Christmas
that Nole wins Roland Garros
that OTF continues to grow as a forum
that JJ moves into top 10
that Rosol beats Nadal one more time
that Federer plays a match of his life in Wimbledon

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE

merry xmas buddy (despite the fact i don't feel remotely christmasy with all this work!).

I want feds to beat nadal on clay at RG
another youngster to come out of nowhere who is closer to 6ft than 7ft
nadal to lose without having an injury linked to it
monfils to come back and do well.
new slam winners, more shocks and nalbandian to produce a run similar to paris/madrid 07

First of all I wish all real tennis fans here a nice Christmas time and especially thanks to Tenez, who enabled all of us to read our great ideas here

My Christmas wishes to OTF are: to have a lot of fun here, to read many nice speculations about our talented or talentless players, benefits of new magical strings made from crocodile guts and polymer double platinum ultra light and stiff rackets, about how the independent ITF will equally enforce tennis rules on the courts, a new discovery in a cure of the most dangerous Morybundus tennis disease and also ….. how many GS can Nole win next year

Crocodile strings???!!!!
After donkey cheese, nothing should surprise me, I suppose

Crocodile for longer strings and kangaroo for shorter ones is future in strings nothing offensive against poor animals.

Thanks Paul....but the pleasure is shared. It's also to read you all that I created this site. It will hopefully pick up with teh new year.

Merry Xmas to all if I can;t post by then.....(travelling tomorrow).

what about the Christmas list?

Talking of Christmas lists...There are three stages in life:

Stage One: You believe in Father Christmas
Stage Two: You don't believe in Father Christmas
Stage Three: You ARE Father Christmas!

Our OTF has a good fan base to take off next year, so that pretty sparking is going to start soon. Have a nice travelling, the apocalypse prediction has not happened, so far

Merry Christmas everyone.

My tennis wishlist :

1. More fast courts especially US open. Its enough of iron-man slugfest for me.
2. Federer winning AO to complete 5 AO titles and add another record to his list.
3. Federer to beat Nadal at RG final this year.
4. Masters Titles more distributed than they have been in recent 5-6 years.
5. JJ, Raonic in top-10, firmly.
6. Another USADA like doping revelation.
7. Rosol beating Nadal again in a Slam.
8. I get to see Fed play live at wimbledon.

Thats a pretty good list ROTLA
Think Im gonna steal it

hey veejay, i tink of ya as the doping expert on here, by any chance did you see the durianrider videos i posted on the doping thread? would be good to hear ya thoughts on em but on that thread dont wanna hijack this one do we nitb

Fed beats Nadal – FO

Fed beats Nadal – W

Fed beats Nadal – USO

Fed beats Nadal – AO

Djoko/Rosol/Isner, or any other player, please beat Nadal – FO

Time is running out for Fed. So it doesn’t have to be in the Final. I just wish to see
him beat Nadal at least once in a GS match, ideally FO, of course. Ultimately,
I wish to see the greatest tennis fraud of all time vanquished and banished once
and for all.

May the trophies go to the truly talented + most honest player(s).

And here’s wishing every one a happy Xmas.

Pardon my ignorance, what's the equivalent for Morybundus in English?

I saw one of his video podcasts on youtube several months ago...I felt he kinda went around in circles a lot and didnt really add anything that wasnt already common knowledge in that particular podcast,but I will have a look at the links you posted and let you know what I think

SR, no ignorace at all, because Morybundus (in Czech) or Moribundus (in Latin or English) is a very rare serious disease attacking tennis players, which leads even to the death. Only way how to survive is to work really hard by hands, e.g. vineyard work. Meanwhile you need to stop playing tennis

Spoken like a true unbiased tennis fan

Nitb, it is not excluded that Morybundus disease can spread from a player to his fans. Now I am watching The Shawshank Redemption and saw Morybundus at a commercial break, that was a horrible moment

I know! I had the same when I walked past one bus stop a few months ago....He is everywhere! (except on the tennis court he,he)

Mory should do only a commercial for a pharmacy industry, there he has a quite high potential or for a cleaning company

You guys are killing me!!

Veejay, you must survive after yesterday´s apocalyptic not fullfilled prediction. And what is more every good tennis fan is needed to prevent from spreading Morybundus, just we need to protect tennis from that disease

Paulz, thanks.

Of course, in English it is “MORIBUND”- death-bound, but not necessarily
associated with a disease like you describe in your language. The connection
with morybundus is actually very clear in English but I didn’t get it until you mentioned “death”.

Who else has/have "the most dangerous Morybundus disease" besides nadal?

I won’t say nadal brought death to the ATP. He’s not been THAT influential. But looking at
his current status quo, I’d say he brought death to his won tennis career.

yeah mcenroe had been complaining about the atp during his career!

Back to Christmas...was decorating my house till 2.30 last night.....banging nails in the wall to hold some wreaths, had lots of fun

Well....nothing left to do right now but play some Beatles loud, drink champagne and, go over some lovely tennis memories I had this year many of them shared with you, to OTF and its Christmas, with many more to come

Merry Christmas nitb.

Just a few days left till the Abu Dhabi exo...I can't bleieve I am typing this, I must be desperate
Well it's been a long time since the O2 final and those RAH exos just weren't competitive enough to get the adrenalin goin'.....
Must admit this prolonged off-season didn't feel as bad as last years' for some reason...
Even the days are getting longer now....what's everyone doing wherever you are, which stage of life are you?

three stages of life:

stage 1: you believe in Father Christmas
stage 2: You don't believe in Father Christmas
stage 3: you ARE Father Christmas

Wanted to wish everyone on the forum a wonderful Christmas,hope you all have a great time spending it with your families and I hope that you all see the new year in well!

ls, sorry, not clear, is this in reference to my "moribund" comment by any chance?

What's mcEnroe's specific complaints?

dont be sorry bud and ye when you said

I won’t say nadal brought death to the ATP.

can't remember sorry bud but if you have 30mins or so to kill youtube mcenroe and charlie rose, he goes into it in detail!
