  • Murray given hero's welcome at home

    9/17/12 3:30 PM | Johan Lindahl
    Murray given hero's welcome at home Andy Murray was feted in his Scottish hometown of Dunblane in a victory celebration usually reserved for British football heroes.

    But the US Open champion, the first British man to win a Grand Slam singles titles in 76 years, took it all in his stride - including a victory parade in an open-top bus and a visit to a golden postbox erected in his honor during a local walkabout.

    Murray capped a career-defining summer by winning Olympic gold over Roger Federer three weeks after losing to the Swiss in the Wimbledon final. He then claimed the Open in five sets against Novak Djokovic.

    The home celebration was a long time coming. But Murray made best use of the day, waving to crowds, signing autographs and even cracking an occasional uncharacteristic smile. Despite wet weather, celebrations were undiminished.

    "It was great. I've really, really enjoyed it," Murray told the BBC. "I had all my family here and a lot of friends from school and teachers who taught me - all sorts - my old tennis coaches. It was a great day. I'm really happy to have been part of it.

    "These are the courts where I started playing and to come back now and see so many kids on them is unbelievable. They used to be very quiet when I was playing here so to see so many kids back on the court and enjoying it is great and I hope that stays the same."

    Murray also had a brief hit with local children at the Dunblane Tennis Club, where he got his own start in the 1990s. "Throughout my whole career the support I've had from back here at all times--in tough losses and hard moments and tough moments in my career--has always stayed the same and everyone kept believing in me, so that was important."

I wish I could have been there. I can only imagine the vivacity of celebration with bagpipes and all :).

I am happy to see that Andy received such a wonderful reception in Dunblane and that it turned into such a wonderful event.

schatz , 9/18/12 2:08 AM


I feel so happy for Murray! His hard work all along is being rewarded, what more beating Fed in the gold medal match, followed by beating Nole in a slam final! I hope he goes on to win at Shanghai, Paris and then London; that'll cap a wonderful year for him, not as stunning as Nole's 2011, but it's still unbelievable nonetheless. Also, that'll pave the way for his move towards the no.1 ranking come next year. All the best to you, Andy!

Typically low key celebration from Andy. Would not allow himself to be hurried in any way and so took hours to sign everything, photos, flags, dogs, you name it; gave and received loads of hugs, had his photo taken all along the way, shook everyone's hand, talked to the children about their posters, then played tennis with the kids in the rain. Also, gave a wonderful speech thanking everyone for their support over the years.
What a lovely, lovely guy.

deuce , 9/18/12 8:23 AM


Lucky, that's what crossed my mind as well that all his hard work has finally paid off.

Well Done, Andy!

I wouldn't go as far as hoping he claims the #1 ranking next year though because there is another guy in the frame, for me.

nadline , 9/18/12 9:17 AM


deuce, smile still grinning?

dunblane is a lovely wee town. they should show his matches on big screen in the cathedral :)

croc , 9/18/12 10:02 AM


Not to worry nadline, that guy I know you're talking about and we love will be back soon but it'll take a while for him to get back on top. In the meantime let Andy has all the glory that he deserves for working so hard to achieve them. I'll like to see the three young guys fighting it out for the top position, maybe each getting a chance to be on top of the rankings. I'm fine with any of them being at the top, as our dear Rafa has 102 weeks at the top already, any more weeks at the top will be bonus. I'm not expecting anyone to reach 300+ weeks like Fed is going to do, that's no longer possible now when we've three younger guys being so competitive at the top. Fed was fortunate that the likes of Safin, Nalby, Hewitt, Ferrero and Roddick were not competitive enough to challenge him. It's a pity and a shame, that both Safin and Nalby didn't reach their utmost best or full potential during their careers, especially during their peak, to give Fed a good challenge. The three guys -Rafa, Nole and Murray - were too young to challenge Fed back then. Now they won't have such luxury that Fed had, with all three now in their peak and ambitious enough to reach for the top position and fight to win more slams.

luckystar , 9/18/12 10:27 AM


Watching the scenes of Andy's homecoming I couldn't help comparing the natural, spontaneous welcome he was given with the OTT display put on for Nole in Belgrade last summer.

It is testament to his strength of character that Andy battled on through repeated disappointments to fulfill his dreams. I hope from now on he will be treated with the respect he so richly deserves.

ed251137 , 9/18/12 12:11 PM


Lol croc, am grinning so much my jaw hurts :)....ouch, ouch.
What? What? You mean they aren't playing Andy's match on a loop in the local cathedral...OMG how shocking!
Don't think they have a cathedral, tbh, and Scots tend to be Presbyterians anyway.
Hear, hear ed. So do I. Btw never know how u spell that, is it "here" or "hear"? The sentiments the same, whatever.....more grinning...:) :) :)

deuce , 9/18/12 12:42 PM


deuce, Dunblane has a lovely old cathedral. I think fitting a big screen telly in their to show Andy's matches may well go with the purpose of this church: See, here is their program, from their homepage! ;) ;)

Dunblane Cathedral exists, as a congregation of the Church of Scotland, for the purpose of reflecting the Love of God to all people regardless of belief or membership of the Church, to be a place where any and all may experience God's presence and to be a fellowship which seeks to nourish and sustain its faith through worship, friendship, care and education.

croc , 9/18/12 12:57 PM


Muzza can have #1, Rafa can have all the Slams..........don't mind that trade!

rafaisthebest , 9/18/12 1:08 PM


croc, that's lovely. Thank u :) R u Scottish? Always thought u were Australian, dunno why.
RITB am hoping Andy bags AO and Wimbledon, now the dam has burst, so to speak..;)

deuce , 9/18/12 1:40 PM


If Scotland can have pandas, why not crocs ? :)

alex , 9/18/12 2:14 PM


I can vouch for the beauty of Dunblane Cathedral and that part of the world in general, Stirling University is my alma mater........

rafaisthebest , 9/18/12 2:23 PM


hear, hear, ed - but some people are beyond seeing and convincing.

I mean, if you're one of the legions of murray-will-never-win-a-slam critics - their silence is almost deafening - what do you do now?
If you don't want to lose face and admit you were wrong, you've really only got 2 options ... 1) It was a fluke/bad weather/nole having off-day/draw too kind etc, or 2) find something else he'll "never do", like winning wimbie, or a 2nd slam, making #1, or doing it when rafa's healthy etc.
Anyway, the good thing about being a muzz fan over the years is that it becomes water off a duck's back - we've learned to wait, watch and let the tennis do the talking.

alex , 9/18/12 2:29 PM


Yep, Dunblane a classy little town - architecturally and socially - muzz must have picked up the bad language in Barcelona :-)

alex , 9/18/12 2:33 PM


I hope it doesn't take Rafa a whole year to get back to form whilst I wish Andy all the best.

nadline , 9/18/12 2:57 PM


Hahahahaha, Alex @ 2:33pm! Very funny.............

rafaisthebest , 9/18/12 3:16 PM


alex u r on fine form today *hug*
Can't think why you're in such a good mood....;)
Can see I'll just have to make a pilgrimage sooner or later.
Love Scotland anyway. Just quicker for me to get to Paris than Edinburgh lol.

deuce , 9/18/12 5:43 PM


ed251137,
You can't compare Dunblane (population cca 9000) with Belgrade (> 2 million). Of course, it would look natural and spontaneous in such a small town where, more or less, everyone knows each other. If you saw Nole's coming from the airport last summer, you could see people on the sides of the streets running to greet him. That was spontaneous. The official celebration in front of the City Hall is not done for Nole only. That is a tradition already - all Serbian athletes that bring home European or World trophies, get the similar homage. Ana Ivanovic had one when she won Roland Garros. Our waterpolo, basketball, handball, volleyball teams... swimmers Milorad Cavic, Nadja Higl... That's been going on for almost 20 years now. That's organized by the City Hall and the major of Belgrade. The real spontaneous celebration usually starts right after the victorious match when everyone gets out onto the streets, cars hunk their horns, flags are flying everywhere and basically, all the major cities in Serbia are street dancing and celebrating.

danica , 9/18/12 8:34 PM


deuce, i used to live in scotland. i had a favourite walk from stirling to dunblane via the river (where i was a mighty crocodile, eating english tourists for scottish breakfast...) trying to keep in touch with the glaswegian accent as good as i can from home...

croc , 9/18/12 9:00 PM


danica: thanks for putting me right about the tradition behind the Belgrade celebration. It is easy to fall into the trap of making comparisons and overlooking the difference in cultures. I guess I'm not used to seeing a tennis player feted to that extent.

ed251137 , 9/18/12 10:40 PM


thanx deuce, very happy these days :-D

monkey's off muzz back, looking forward to seeing more freestyle, wind-in-the-sales, attacking tennis.

alex , 9/18/12 10:48 PM


I suspect Muzza will be Rafa's true rival for fans' affections. Both are humble and super talented. Both are lovely human beings.

holdserve , 9/19/12 4:36 AM


Murray. "Rios is best player never to win a Slam."

On a CNN interview. Murray had to face a question-and-answer session at the end.

When asked who he thought was the best player never to win a Slam,

Murray immediately replied: "Marcelo Rios. "

always ugly swearing, a ugly shout as usual, and whiner as usual.


usual Murray's "fuck!!! " fucking!! " fuck!! " fucking!!! "

An exaggerated and unnatural injury act.

cries that it when loses and complaints, and poor act.


US Open. old Roger Federer is out. Nadal, no play. Djokovic. schedule of a disadvantageous game. and the game to be continued for three days.



Olympic. SF game of Federer and Del potro exceeds the Games for 4 hours. SF of murray vs Djokovic. Djokovic is poor at grass.


If this smug arrogant dog cannot take GS next year. The GS of this is lucky and fake, and an end.

Of course, Murray is one great player.

congrats Murray.

Murray does have an anger management problem and a filthy mouth at times. The program should be R rated when he plays. Bill Macatee had to apologize for his language during The Open. Poor role model but good player.

chr18 , 9/19/12 2:29 PM


Dear tennisnba/chr18,

At least he's swearing at himself instead of yelling at the ticket-buying, revenue generating public that pays his salary.

It is great to see Muzza smiling. I loved the Tignor's article on Muzz.

holdserve , 9/19/12 3:29 PM


No other player swears on court? Yeah, right.
Andy's problem is he swears in English. He should learn some East European choice words, then everyone would get off his case.

deuce , 9/19/12 5:03 PM


deucy, do you have Muzza's e-mail address? I want to send him some choice Swahili swear words!

rafaisthebest , 9/19/12 5:41 PM


i would like murray to learn some gaelic swear words from his scottish compatriots

croc , 9/19/12 6:54 PM


Honestly, I kind of gave a try, a valiant effort into understanding this tennisba character. I failed miserably.

Croc,
that's a great idea! :)

Deuce,
maybe he could ask his good buddy, Nole, for a few in Serbian ;). We are known for having some outrageous ones, pretty much for every occasion :)). Bonus thing: no one, save the Balkan Slavic folks (and we are not a huge bunch), understands you :). I read them from Nole's lips when he is not winning :))).

danica , 9/19/12 8:44 PM


Danica, don't you get it? Deuce was putting Novak down with her comment. Why didn't she say 'Spanish choice words?' You need to figure this "lady" out. She's got a real jealousy problem when it comes to Djoker.

pennster , 9/20/12 5:53 AM


@danica
Hope neither u, nor zare, believe a word of what that pot- stirring idiot, painster, just said. Don't u just love it when people u don't know tell u how u really feel? lol. They're SO clever....not. BTW East Europe contains rather more countries than Serbia last time I looked....
In fact, ironically I was gonna say "Central African Republic" swear words and thought THAT would get me into trouble, lol :
Gaelic, Swahilli, Serbian, all excellent ideas folks :)

deuce , 9/20/12 7:59 AM


Deuce: Nobody but cyberspace witchhunters lend credence to people like the pain in the butt @5.53.

ed251137 , 9/20/12 10:02 AM


There are plenty of racists like croc, chr18 and chlorostoma so anyone using the word Africa would have got into more trouble than someone using the words East European.
painster is feeling rudder less after Muzz won his first slam.

holdserve , 9/20/12 2:20 PM


I just don't get it with painster? Must have been abused somewhere along the way. That said, many abused people turn out wonderful people, so I'm not being fair on them. Hmm ...

<<ironically I was gonna say "Central African Republic" swear words >
Yeah right. Too bad I called you on that. You don't much like eastern Europeans, do you? If anyone believes this lame excuse from her,they deserve being in the company of xenophobe Deuce.

Holdserve:Not worried at all. 17-11-5 >1

pennster , 9/20/12 6:46 PM


Pennster,
no, I didn't detect any putting down. And even if she did, why would I be offended? It would be her opinion. She is entitled to one. Yes, Nole swears. That's the fact. I may not like it perhaps, but I do like such characters more than those who never show any emotion on court.
Please Pennster, this is just a tennis forum. Don't spill hate.

danica , 9/20/12 7:11 PM


Please spare us the Africa colonial guilt trips, really boring from where we are sitting here in Africa.............

If you harbor racist feelings, that's your problem, not ours, deal with it. Yu'd think one would come to a tennis forum and engage in tennis related banter, not " I'm not a racist" or such other clap trap.

Who bloody cares?

Yawn.........where were we?

rafaisthebest , 9/20/12 10:33 PM


Deuce is a xenophobic poster who constructs lame excuses to hide her irrational racism. Alert to Danica: She said east European, not Spain or France or anything else. Then she tries to cover it up with Central African Republic like everyone on here is stupid. That is what she banks on.

pennster , 9/20/12 11:30 PM


Pennster: You have a completely warped mind and your comments are out of order. Just get lost and stop harrassing Deuce who is one of the best posters on this forum.

ed251137 , 9/21/12 1:29 AM


ed, cheers :) Honestly :( .....*sigh*

deuce , 9/21/12 7:25 AM


@pennster, 9/20/12, 11:30pm, some habits never die. It's amazing how gullible some people are, however, karma has a way of catching up. Some people are very adept at playing two roles, and their pretentiousness begets them many followers. It's so easy to throw a bone at some of the fans of other players here, coz it will reap many rewards, and it doesn't use up much energy. some people know how to work the crowd very well.

I always thought that the twitter hashtags were used to connect people to a topic stream, something like adhering to a thread's topic, that when you use the hashtags you automatically get on the stream? But, what do I know?

I've noticed that since Murray won that one slam some of his fans have become even more unbearable than the fans of some other players.

@ed, to each his own. Best poster, that's a laugh. In New York we have a saying, 'one hand washes the other'. why would you not defend your friend, you're two of a kind?

@deuce, why were you discussing me on another site? I hope you're very happy with the many virtual friends you've made, pretending to be this honest person who never bad-mouths Fed, only his personality? I suppose those comments on rigged draws, preferential scheduling, and being favored to play under the roof are all associated to your dislike of Fed's personality? I have a friend who's been a member of that site since 2005. You can figure out the rest as to how much I know.

FYI, my friend, the one who mentioned Neil harman's wife's comment, and I are two *different* people. So quit with the insinuations that we are one and the same. I've not made it a secret on here that I have two friends /roommates who post on that site, and it's why I won't register there. However, when one is in a deep hole, one has to come up with some ridiculous accusations, and try to bring another down, which is what you did to a very nice guy, who did not deserve the lies you mentioned. Karma has a way of catching, and you will get yours. I couldn't believe my eyes when I read the 'thumpity tum',, 'happily scrolling down' juvenile comments you wrote for attention. LOL.

FYI, I've been away on an assignment in Asia, which is why I'm only addressing your accusations today. All I can say is that you're some piece of work, and you will slip up, coz you cannot resist taking digs at other players to make your Murray appear to be the best. Oh WOW, he's so sweet and shy, blah, blah. Sweet and shy people don't curse and bang their heads and hands on their rackets, only people who need anger management help..

"I've noticed that since Murray won that one slam some of his fans have become even more unbearable than the fans of some other players. .."

That one slam you are referring to not only makes us unbearable Murray fans delighted but will make your Idol Roger Federer over the moon too!
He wished at Wimbledon that Andy would get `one slam` at some point.
Well lo and behold he went out & got it at the next one!
Murray fans may be unbearable at the one slam mark but not even 17 slams from Andy would make us come close to the dreary, mediocre dullards that seem to be the mainstay of some other players fans.
Or 40 slams for that matter ;)

Twinge , 9/21/12 12:05 PM


The trouble is by winning the Olympics followed by the USO Andy has spoilt the party for all the people who delighted in jeering at him. That he did it by beating Federer and Djokovic along the way makes it an even more bitter pill for them to swallow.

Hardly surprising the 'night of the long knives' has arrived :-((

Twinge , 9/21/12 12:45 PM


scoretracker - if the 'other site' you refer to is tennis.com, then that is a different deuce from our deuce.

alex , 9/21/12 2:53 PM


@alex, thank you, but it's not tennis.com, I'm talking about. You're the nicest Murray fan around, and you're the most intelligent. I guess the two goes hand-in-hand. ed's eloquent also, except for the sarcasm, but that's ed, I suppose.

BTW, deuce knows very well what I'm talking about coz it's the reason she's hiding. It's easy for deuce to accuse innocent people of some wrong-doing when they are not around to defend themselves. and, it's even easier to beat up on a new poster on another site when there are others whom you know will back you up albeit you're lieing big time, then come over here and complain to all who would listen, e.g., the usual group. That's deuce ........

The only thing I've ever done to this person is defend Fed, and two Fed posters she's picked on talked about as if they were weeds or bugs/insects. I've not said much about Murray, albeit her hateful comments on Fed warranted hateful responses. some times I respond, but most times I've I let them go. And, she has the gall to ridicule me elsewhere? Her fight was with my friend, who did not mention me by name, except to say he has a buddy who posts on this site and has a difficult time with the Fed bashing comments here. It's not a lie, coz I've said so many times. Yet, deuce had to use that bit to apprise the whole internet world of my identity on here. She even went so far as to make a mockery of my posts here to a poster over there, who writes a thesis every time he comments. I'm NOT registered on that site, and I've stated why that is so. I don't get this woman's problem , except to say she's one bitter person who'll compromise her credibility to gain friends. I'm really angry. sorry.

Scoretracker,
I also think you are in the wrong. You are referring to tennis-x where there is a deuce. I was more active there some time ago, but rarely go anymore. And I think this deuce here and the one over there, are not the same person. It's just a coincidence. The manner of writing is totally different. I noticed the same nick too, but also different approaches to posters.

danica , 9/22/12 1:33 AM


@danica, don't bet on it. I am dead right this time, and when I'm right I'll defend my comments. ha ha.. Believe me, and I kid you not, the deuce here and the one on tennis-x, are one and the same. Just ask er, and be prepared if she answers, to be very surprised, as in eye-opening. LOL. She has two faces, that's for sure, but don't get fooled. You have to read Tennis.x when deuce gets together with her little band of friends and what she's capable of doing. There's a word for her behavior but I won't use it here. albeit she's accused me and my friend of a lot of untrue stuff, (the guy's somewhat scarred now and is afraid to comment) I still prefer to not beat someone to death coz mercy is due to everyone, even deuce.

@Conspirator, most of the time I choose to ignore your mutterings, which are like that of a demented old man/woman? BTW, your imaginary hashtags are not really hashtags. But, you already know that, don't you? They are merely bullets, used to make a point. If you absolutely know the true significance of hash-tags, you'd see how ineffective or unrelated those pound signs you love to use here really are, coz they do not revert back to any particular stream/topic. Over-use can be very comical.

BTW, who's the troll you're talking about? Do you know that anyone who writes mindless utterances and is seeking attention, e.g., picking fights, and other stuff, is akin to a troll? Troll is the most abused word and is often used by those whose vocabulary is lacking, and don't know the meanings of words. I advise those who like to call others troll, to consult a dictionary, a good one, that is.

@danica, my roommate just told me that the poster is margot on tennis-x. Made a mistake with the names, but it's still the same person. I read that site but not every day. I would have joined up but 3 of us on the same site is not good for the site and we'd cause a problem agreeing with each other. or, we'd lose each other's friendship, which is not good. I apologize for the mix-up of the names. Somebody who is 'deuce' on Tennis-x must be about to drop a hammer on me. ha ha.

@conspirator, you must have a bell that goes off every time a Fed fan posts on this site.I only hope you don't have your # answering you. if that happens then you know that you've entered into the land of no return; continue spamming, but you being a Nadal fan, ii's OK I guess.

ed251137 , 9/22/12 9:31 AM



@deuce, cut the lies. and the acting. Same goes for NNY.

You, deuce, had a big fight with some posters on Tennis-x and then insinuated that one of them was me. Then you came over on this site and began complaining, and NNY as usual, had a mouthful to say. Wanna see the thread? i'll get it for you.

I was out of the country on a business trip at the time and didn't have a clue as to what went on. it's only when I came back a few days ago that I got caught up with my reading, and then talking to my roommate, that I got a grasp of what happenend, and why you deuce, was on here complaining. I was shown the comments on Tenns-x, where you mentioned me, and it all became clear.

If you think I was on there, how come I'm confused as to who you are. On the T-x comments people mentioned deuce/margot. I thought they were talking about two people. so much for me being one of the people you had the fight with.

NNY's only itching to start a fight. She'll gang up with anyone coz she desperately wants me out of here. What a pity the moderators don't see how much of a destructive force NNY really is. She's one of the main reasons Fed fans leave this site. She's a bully. That's the gist of it, and you two make a lovely pair. Two of the worst that anyone can cross paths with.

deuce, is like a baby who needs to complain to momma every time something goes wrong. And, big momma NNY, can't wait to get her teeth into me to start something.

NNY, get this, rumble how much you want, but I'll leave, when I'm good and ready. Nolw you get lost, coz this is all you'll get. It irks you that I can comment and people respond. Jealousy is going to give you a heart and head cramp.

scoretracker , 9/22/12 9:47 AM


LOL, now they all will have something to talk about, coz things are really dead. perhaps if you guys didn't make this a Rafa and Murray only site, you'd have some other people blogging. How sad that you're all so destructive.

scoretracker , 9/22/12 9:55 AM


deuce,

Hang in there! We will get through it like we always do! I have no idea what happened on the other site. I sensed that you were trying to tell me something, now I understand it all.

You do have to trust that people here know you. We have all been subjected to a person with an incalculable capacity for ugliness and hate. I have never seen anything like it.

Words can sometimes come before actual violence. With all that we have been through in the states recently, the tragedy in Aurora, Colorado and other mass shootings from mentally deranged people, it's just terrible to see this kind of thing on this forum.

I am just grateful that it's online. At least we are safe. That's something to be grateful for at least.

One thing you must remember - no one can take away Andy's victory! That's what you should keep in mind. I am so sorry that this has degenerated into another hatefest. This is Andy's time, your time and all of those who have joined with you to celebrate his great win.

People here know you and like you very much! Keep smiling! :)

Nativenewyorker , 9/22/12 10:00 AM


@deuce, I'll make a promise to you. When I get settled in, and barring any further out of US assignments, i'll search for those comments where you bashed Fed, NOT his personality as you claimed. You can count on it., coz, i'll post those comments on here and get my friend to do the same on Tennis-x, or I'll register there if need be. that's a promise. you'll learn that you just cannot accuse others wrongfully. enjoy the friends you boast of, which is a farce. You're like an adolescent who needs friendship for validation. Adolescents find their worth in how many friends they can collect. Adults know better. seems like you need to GROW UP. Go get a boyfriend instead of drooling over Murray. fantasizing is bad for your health, same goes for NNY.

scoretracker , 9/22/12 10:05 AM


Oh yes, WE'll get through this. Big momma is in charge, so hang tight, she'll fight every battle coz that gets her a natural high. he he he he. this is so sick coming from adults. Boyfriends are badly needed.

scoretracker , 9/22/12 10:08 AM


Now this is exceptionally pitiful. NNY claims she didn't know what was happenikng, yet she gets into the middle of this and starts her usual flame-throwing. Also, she's suffering from dementia, coz just a few days ago she was consoling the distraught deuce, who was being beaten up on another site. WOW, how crazy can some people get. They just talk without knowing the facts. anything to quench the fighting itch.

scoretracker , 9/22/12 10:17 AM


S/T: You are clearly a master of the art of flaming and take a perverse delight in disrupting TT threads and producing convoluted personal attacks. How about you stay on topic for a change.

ed251137 , 9/22/12 10:23 AM


scoretracker, 9/22/12 10:17 AM,

Okay now it's my turn! You go ahead and find the posts I made on another site consoling deuce! You see, I know where and when I post.

Come on! You are the one who always starts this disgusting character assassination. I happen to think you are certifiable. You are also showing signs of someone who is has lost touch with reality.

You clearly desperately need attention and must go resort to attacking strangers on forums. That's a life? Talking about us as though you know us? It's enough to give us all the creeps! Yikes!

Nativenewyorker , 9/22/12 10:33 AM


@Okay now it's my turn! You go ahead and find the posts I made on another site consoling deuce! You see, I know where and when I post. NNY

@NNY, there you go again, pretending to misinterpret my comments and feigning ignorance to get me into a discussion. I NEVER said you consoled deuce on another site. YOU DID IT HERE, just a few days ago, when she talke about stalin, etc. WOW, you truly are a master at these games you play.You sudden;ly got a memory cramp? you need to get that checked coz it can be the beginning of alzheimer's and I might have to help you find the door, not the window.

None of this concerns you, but as usual you and ed have got to get into the middle of everything. What's wrong with you two? Are you so starved for male attention or is it that you love to interact with me and can't bear to let the opportunity go by? Geez, it's three of you. this is what you do best, gang up and fight albeit you aren't involved. How sick!

@ed, how is it you manage to entrench yourself into something and pass judgment without knowing the facts? I'm amazed at your penchant folr such situations.

FYI, if you can comprehend, you'll notice I mentioned your darling friend deuce brought a situation from another site over HERE. She wasn't content to wrongfully accuse me and make claims that don't exist over there in her fight with 3 posters, she had to bring it over here. are you so comprehension deficient or is this one of your little games which you like to play dumb? which is it?

BTW, what's this nonsense about staying on topic? do you really care? I'm not fooled, it's one more thing to add to your pick, pick syndrome. You need glases or a memory implant? why don't you say solmething when others go off topic? OK enolugh from you, NNY, and deuce, the p;oor darling.

I just want you and all the Murray fans to enjoy this moment. You have waited a long time for it. Many of us joined in with you and celebrated.

Threats are not appropriate anywhere.

Yes, this is supposed to be tennistalk and not soap opera talk. But someone has other ideas. It's awfully hard to ignore when a person spams all the topic threads.

And deuce - you must be considered muzz's #1 fan with the treatment you're getting - you couldn't be paid a more flattering compliment than to be treated that way by them. Respect.

alex , 9/24/12 10:57 PM


@alex, I thought you were a cut above the rest, perhaps a little more intellegent, but I was SO VERY WRONG. Enjoy the dart throwing. FYI, the only trols here are those whose mouths are filty, don't talk tennis, and pick fights for no valid reason. NNY being the head troll.

LOL, you respect deuce, a two-faced, double-tongued liar. geez. I've seen it all. On this site, she ridicules Fed, and on T-x, she cozies up to the Fed fans, by pretending how much she likes his game. How very sad.

Thos of us who are being beaten up here will get our just reward, if Nadal/Djoker/Fed beats Murray, or Murray should beat Nadal. then the hypocrisy will turn to venom.

NNY, I hope you're having fun with the pretense. enjoy. You know what they say about karma, don't you? it's a b****, and it will get you, soon. WTF, is just around the corner.

But you keep up with those threats. You're going to get yourself in a heap of trouble, coward! By the way, how do we know that you aren't some 80 year old senile nutcase?

You are the definition of the word troll!

On this site, female and businessowner, and Fed-hater. LOl, LOL, and LOL, again.

the internet sure provides us with some wishful thinking. bwahahahaha.

scoretracker , 9/25/12 12:16 AM


Hey big momma, show me these threats. Telling you you'll get what your due is a threat.?

"Crying because others don't want to play with you? Did someone take away your toys? "

Your friend RITB, said so, when I said I was sick of reading the Fed trash talk and would move on. Can't you be original and find your own words instead of being a copy-cat. . You're such a wannabe, copying other people's words, using pound signs/pseudo-hashtags, without knowing what they mean.

FYI, hope you se how many names you've called me? You're such an adolescent in your thought processes, it quite pitiful.

FYI, I am not the one that's discussed by many people, in a derogatory manner as a loose cannon on the internet. I think the one pushing too hard is YOU, running off every FED fan. The only olne here now is ME, and it's why you're so angry.

You involved yourself into something that didn't concern you, but I suppose at the time you enjoyed it. Now reap what you sow. AND LEAVE ME ALONE, YOU BULLY.

I know I'm not an 80 y/o, coz I know nothing of watching Laver, Mcenroe, and Borg play. I saw Safin/Sampras/Agassi playing when I was just graduated from High School in 2000. so if you can do math, and from all the tennis you've watched, I'd say you're probably older than my Mom, coz she's only 49. Stop beating up on the young people who could be your kids, and start showing the younger ones on here some example on how to behave. Go get a life Troll.

All you have is words, with no substance of character to back you up. Your mantra is lieing, and more lieing. gosh, you're pitiful, you just keep on picking on me for PURE HATE for a player. Not one Fed fan has been spared of your vicious tongue.

What do you write here?


Do you remember the ugly fight on the court of Del potro and Murray? Of course, it is not the ugly fight of Sampras and Agassi.


If Roger Federer fight with other players on a court.

You write what?


Oh right. At least, Murray at least is not a player who performs arrogant gamesmanship

It is an interesting thing. The site in which this arrogant amateur gathers


The homepage of formal ATP.

Roger Federer is always winning the prize of a favorite and sportsmanship officially.

the favorite player whom the usual tennis fan chooses

The sportsmanship prize which ATP players choose

Roger also already has these records. His record is not only the inside of a court. If he wins these prizes this year also. ten-year continuation and the 8th award. Records are lengthened.


However, a possibility that he will not be awarded this time is high.

tennisnba , 9/25/12 4:39 PM


Murray became a gold medal and GS champion, and changed the history of the country.

Probably, it will be murray to win the prize of these officially this year.


Roger is also glad. He had admired Murray recently again.

Have fun, karma awaits. Big momma will not always be around to fight your battles for you. I picture you as this spiteful little mouse hiding under a little crack after you've destroyed everything in sight (no wonder you like to hide behind the sofa very apt) and then pushing out your mousey little eyes to check if it's all clear, that is after you've thrown your filth around. what a character.enjoy the virtual friendship until Murray loses to Nadal or he beats Nadal.

nomadNY, you are so juvenile for an old woman that it's pitiful. when the sparse vocabulary lets you down you resort to name calling. why don't you start learning some better words?

What's the matter with you, nothing to do all day? Perhaps one of those who collects a pittance Social Security check and write complaint letters to companies because their soup cans didn't contain enough barley, and hoping the company would send a dozen cans as an apology. LOL.

BTW, how about a change in habitat, try easing yourself out of the mire and instead try breathing in the fresh air above. it'll do you a world of good. Sententious windbag.

Funny, how all of you got a lot of mouth going back and forth with each other, over one Fed fan, who can stand alone, but you all need a group to help, coz you're like jelly-fish without backbone, boo-hooing and whining non-stop like a old windmill that needs greasing..

I hope you'll be shouting Andy won, Andy won, when he beats Nadal., or you'll disappear coz the pain will be too much for you to handle. Then you'll do what comes naturally, "I stayed away because of the Fed fans". haha

Be careful the djoker fans will eventually get sick of your two-faced rejoicing, coz Murray beat him too, and they aren't rejoicing over Murray's win, and then you'll have to run and hide. Victims??? Bwahhhahahaha.

Dear deucy,

I see the troll has thrown you in with us nasty Rafan lot....................what on earth have you done to deserve this? Oh wait, coincidence that this sudden anti-deuce is coming right after Muzza's USO triumph, much?

The trolls may be annoying but they are not that stupid, they know the jig is up....................they know the conversation will, from now on, be about Nole, Rafa and Muzza only, hence the shrill and desperate attention seeking.

Take this advice from an "old hand", this too shall pass. Just ignore the trolls.

Oh, and the brown-nosing at @alex................gross.

rafaisthebest , 9/26/12 8:46 AM


I see everyone finally came out because the stench has cleared away!

ritb,

It's not brown-nosing at alex, it's the divide and conquer tactic that we have seen many times. Take someone who has the same favorite player and then suck up to that person while telling them how awful their fellow fans are! Not new at all! Same old, same old!

deuce,

You made an excellent comment. It's quite weird to see this person go into such excruciating, nauseating detail on the tiniest little things. That business of "leave me alone, enough" is like projecting onto other people. This person is NOT about being left alone. It's all about attention. Some people get it by being reasonable and articulate and even funny. Then there are those who just get it by saying the ugliest, most hideous, most vile things they can think of. It makes that person feel superior. Sad, but very true.

Now I am nomadNY, also a windbag, oh and the best one - big Momma! Love that one!

See, I am here to fight your battles for you, dearest deuce! The only problem is that you don't have any battles to fight because you are one of the nicest, most decent posters here. Just one battle. You don't need me, but I truly despise seeing someone who has no meanness in her getting trashed. It makes me sick.

It's just great to see some of the great people back here!

^^Whats all this hiding behind the sofa malarky because of Scoretracker and Pennstar.
Please!
They are nothing to be concerned about my sweets.
The attempted character assasination of Deuce was an embarrassing failure.
Who in their right mind would believe her to be the return of the anti christ!??!
I mean L.O.L
Both of these characters are clearly lonely, whiney, stunted non entities and should be treated with either pity or contempt.
Take your pick.

^^^^thanks, Twingey but I'll take neither...................disgust it will be for me given the pong they emit........

Twinge: Not deserving of pity. Only contempt for people trying to wreck this site and who repeatedly mount despicable personal attacks.

After sticking together over four years of post-slam disappointments and doldrums, it's gonna take a whole lot more than a swarm of deranged trolls to drive a wedge between the muzzateers, now that our man has finally reached the mountain top :-)

alex , 9/26/12 8:18 PM


thankfully the mainstay posters on this site are not trolls, but reasonable human beings. we respect the top players (- although some will have noticed it's taking me a while to forgive big bird for the way he treated almagro, but that still doesn't blind me to what an annoyingly talented tennis player he is). we don't respect them just to be 'nice and sweet', but because we genuinely recognise their class. What's more, it's because nole is such a brilliant player that makes it so sweet when muzz beats him, especially on hard court. For me to denegrate nole, apart from anything else, would be to lower the bar of muzz's achievement last week. Equally, if muzz really was just a choker and an also-ran ("nearer to the chasing pack than to the Big 3," as someone posted on another website, the week before muzz won the USO), then three of fed's slam final wins, and one of nole's, were really no big deal - after all, what's so 'grand' about slamming an over-rated back-of-the-court slogger in the final?

alex,

I loved what you said! I think what I resent the most is the blatant and pathetic attempt to drive a wedge between those of us who have been here for some time.

This idea that should Andy beat Rafa, I will then somehow start hating on him is not only insulting but completely false. I take great exception to this idea that somehow Rafa fans celebrating with Andy fans over his win is in some way fake or phony. I am tired of some angry misfit telling me and others what we think, how we feel.

I was happy to join in with Andy's fans in celebrating his first slam win. I have said many times on this site, that if it couldn't be Rafa then let it be Andy. Should Andy beat Rafa in the future, I will try to be as gracious as the Andy fans have been. It's the way of it. But in no way will I resent him or be mean or jealous.

I really dislike someone putting their own distorted, skewed view of things on me and others.

Thanx again guys 'n gals. You're the reason I keep posting and will continue to do so :)
Twingey, honey, u haven't been reading your "What to do in the event of a nuclear strike" now have you? The advice is to "hide behind the sofa!"
Hmm, silence on here is deafening but really, really welcome. Perhaps this site with its brilliant fans and excellent journalists can now return to a semblance of normality? Fingers crossed.

The troll will be back, make no mistake, he's just gone away to refuel................on bile. That's why they are called trolls.............
The trick is to stand up to him and as nny says, be aware of his evil, divide and conquer machinations.................

rafaisthebest , 9/27/12 8:04 AM


Perhaps he's finally fallen asleep composing his tedious comments :-)
He claims to live in NY but is sent on assignments to Asia - or maybe that's an excuse for his absence when his account his suspended ;-))

Wow, what a first match back for muzz: Monfils in Tokyo!

Hope muzz ain't rusty.

alex , 9/29/12 2:47 PM


The draw: http://www.atpworldtour.com/posting/2012/329/mds.pdf

alex,

I can't pull up your link. So many times when people post links, I can't get them. Maybe I should just check out the ATP site to see the draw.

Monfils in a first match for Murray in Tokyo? Well the one thing I will say is that Monfils is probably still rusty coming back after another injury. I think Murray will be ready for him.
