OT: Tennis anyone?

Re: OT: Milos Raonic - What's your take Krusty?

Jadis, il y avait bien Nestor (grand service aussi) mais il s'est blessé.

Mais bon, je ne vois pas l'intérêt de parler du potentiel de Raonic dans le circuit si c'est seulement par rapport au Canada...

Il faut prendre en considération qu'il part de plus loin que les autres, tout simplement. Le comparer à un Américain ou un Suisse, par exemple, au même âge, ce n'est pas rendre justice au jeune homme qui arrive d'un pays qui es le tiers-monde au tennis.

Analogie un peu boîteuse, mais un gars comme Christobal Huet a mis du temps à se développer car son pays n'est pas expert en hockey. Mais à maturité, il était au meilleur de son art. Il est retombé aussi rapidement, ce que je ne souhaite pas à Milos.

Re: OT: Milos Raonic - What's your take Krusty?

Why is that?

Re: OT: Milos Raonic - What's your take Krusty?

Why is that?

He's a coward. Scared of playing in Montréal while yapping in the media that "he would be honored to receive an offer from the Montréal Canadiens". He just used the Habs to get a juicy contract elsewhere. Never wanted to play for Montreal even though Bob Gainey offer him more per year.

But not only he's a liar, he's a cheater. Buts its another ball game (pun intended).

On est d'accord sur ce point.

Mais l'autre poster parlait de Raonic en terme de top cinq; c'est placer la barre trop haute. Raonic n'a pas (encore) le talent pour qu'on lui mette une telle pression; les attentes sont beaucoup trop élevées.

Well Brière now has a concussion. Karma somehow. :couch

I take it that is why he is divorced.

The other guy didn't hit hard enough. Hope he gets my check.

And its also easier to get drunk in Philly unnoticed...

Le Djoker l'avait, il a livré. On verra si Raonic est de ce moule. Mais disons que pour être top 5, faut déloger un excellent joueur. Il n'est pas rendu là. Mais bon, il peut aussi surprendre. Ça dépend de son développement mental.

Krusty is not doing his job.

Krusty is a Habs fan. So I guess he is doing his job ;-)

Krusty is a Habs fan.

But strangely, no one has ever seen him say one good thing about his team....

ESPN blaming an injury to S. Williams for the reason there are no longer any Americans left in singles play at the Open. Has Williams ever lost a match without an injury being brought up?

Je ne vois pas le rapport avec Djokovic qui a (et a toujours eu) un jeu beaucoup plus complet que Raonic?

C'est sûr qu'à cause de Raonic plus de canadiens suivront le tennis, c'est déjà ça...

She did have an injury before the Australian Open; same with Clijsters though. (both had to retire from tournies leading up to this slam because of them).

Maybe if Serena didn't take so much steroids she wouldn't be so injured all the time (same for Nadal)....

Oups...there's an elephant in the room....shhhhhhh

 

[Lotusland]

Re: OT: Milos Raonic - What's your take Krusty?

I thought steroids were used to heal injuries faster?

I've watched quite a bit of this Open and it seems like a ton of players are dropping out or blaming losses on injuries.

Gotta love this Nishikori guy... he looks small but putting on a power show against the #6 seed... 1-game away from a 5-set victory.

Re: OT: Milos Raonic - What's your take Krusty?

I wouldn't be surprised if Nadal benefited from blood doping.

As for Djokovic, he's using a "legalized" doping method: the pressurized egg. He has also claimed that a gluten free diet has helped him in improving his stamina.

I have no comment re: Serena.
