Of course. A button for TROLLING is not specifically designated; but the REPORT button (the exclamation mark) is the general tool to report such issues.
Repeat. We are looking into it.

Good morning to all! I'll have everything updated shortly--the French Open is the slam with the most challenging timeframe for my daily routine...

LIGHTLY?!?!? How DARE you? Do we even know you anymore?

All of us are longing, begging for you to humiliate and cuckold all of us for our pathetic and humiliating Pool choices. So, please. We beseech you. Do your worst.

....ON another note....sure, that post was some snark there.

However- and since I am already blocked by the person whose middle name is, apparently, "troll police"- it could be suggested to the constant "troll" accuser that, if one daily posts multiple times with all sorts of- ahem- interesting commentary (Alycia Parks, 2023 Wimbledon winner option anyone)- it might also be worth considering developing a sense of humor and self-reflection concerning one's own quirks.

Sincerely- Nelslus The Troll

Because you asked nicely, I will eviscerate you, and just you!

I believe in following stated board policy, but gosh, some people are awfully sensitive.

My absolute favorite thing on this board is JT's STANK or DANK, and the earlier post did not seem any different than what JT might write. Please don't tone the barbs down.

I would never!

We are indeed a little more snark-tolerant at TMQ headquarters, although it's generally a good idea to dial it back if someone requests you to do so.

JT's S&D has NEVER meant as anything more than jest.
Surprisingly, it has never STANK (it is not a recursive function )
So, by all means, STANK AHEAD!!!!

,,,,Albeit, these threads are also useful for exorcising JT's understandable contempt for all of us. The TRUE Troll.

Did I see right that Bencic had two break points to go up a break in the third? Hard to feel terrible about that pick, thats just the WTA being the WTA

I dunno, Bencic has been out injured for a couple months, and she basically never does well on clay outside of Charleston. Plus she was playing someone with three qualifying matches under their belt - just a risky pick all around.

11 rookies for sure! (says the guy who's out of both pools already lol)

Day 3 of Round 1 is upon us. Sadly, I had to TMQ-DQ two players for not specifying which Andreeva they were choosing from the draw. We also had 1 no pick, and I missed a Blinkova picker yesterday, so our adjusted number is 95. TMQ regrets the error.

It's early, but there is already blood, including nelslus, so get ready to roast!!!!

The numbers

Mirra Andreeva 28
Anhelina Kalinina 19
Marie Bouzkova 14
Sorana Cirstea 7
Olga Danilovic 5
Julia Grabher 4
Emma Navarro 3
Shelby Rogers 3
Lauren Davis 2
Fiona Ferro 2
Sara Sorribes Tormo 2
Erika Andreeva 1
Victoria Azarenka 1
Barbora Krejcikova 1
Claire Liu 1
Linda Noskova 1
Arantxs Rus 1

TMQ's pick is through and 1/3 of the pool was just wiped out in a 30 minute stretch. This is what glee feels like.
