Talk About Tennis 2.0

oooooh, Nuria Parrizas Diaz is looking kind of grey, and wasted, and.... dead

Yes, she is dead. Parisian Necrosis.
Table for 30. Ouch. Let us know what you want to drink. Bandwagon 1 goes down

I swear I am eliminated every time I pick Karolina Pliskova, and yet I continue to do so...

Not that my day 2 pick is safely through yet

For the second (but also third, because both pools) time in 17 years, I've succombed to the deadly No Pick. Waiter, a sturdy noose, please. I don't deserve a last drink.

My first ever loss by no pick! This is a fantastic moment of pride for me. Sigh.

Ok, sort of an odd request, but we can prepare these with a dash of vodka and I am sure you will enjoy them: Oh, noose, you said NOOSE!!!
But why, dear? We are La Guillotine. It would have the same effect, although slightly messier...

This is the worst! Can you blame someone, something? I would. Good run, though. I had a no-pick after losing a mixed-doubles match to an obnoxious guy. I raged so hard that night and the next morning that I forgot to make my pick - and it was the weekend, and the French, and I was halfway to a medal with Rafa as a shoe-in. Hate that guy and still won't be on a court with him (mostly because he's obnoxious).

What was I thinking of picking against a Frenchman on Tsonga's big day? Just not on my mind yesterday. A big glass of Bordeaux, s'il vous plaît?

Oh, and a case of Vegemite for De Minaur.

We offer a very good selection of Bordeaux, so you have an entire bottle. Well deserved after a such a long match As for your vegemite: we serve it with a runny egg on top, which is what a person deserves after winning a 4th set 6-l'euf, going up 3-l'euf in the fifth, and then blowing it: Enjoy the wine, and tolerate the vegemite, if you are into those thing

All the vegemite is for Alex, runny egg is a appropriate ending to a toeuf match! (ok, that's enoeuf )

I won our work English Premier League Fantasy soccer mini-league and got overly cocky.

I really wish this bar was real.

If you are in Paris, maybe you could try this one:

Picked two Swiss in a row ...I deserve some cheese, I think..old, stinking cheese..unless the Swiss have any special drink I am not aware of?

Ah, Monsieur Ashkor, you 'ave come to the right place! You know that 'ere we aim to please.
It is fortunate that our sommelier is of a broad education. Did you know that the Swiss actually produce some excellent wines? Indeed, they do, and therefore, as you 'ave committed the lunacy of picking Swiss players in pairs, we offer you a fine selection of two superb wines from the region. They are priced as if you were the chairman of one of their famed banks but, after such ugly demise, money should be no object. After all, you are dead. And, as you ask for le frommage. Le swiss are adept at this very pungent cheese, simple in elaboration but strong in le smell. So, we can serve you and entire tableau of it, so the stench of cheese will cover that of your rotten corpse.
Salut, Monsieur! Enjoy your tennistic afterlife. It seems to us you will be joined soon by some people that will request something Argentinean. 'ope you will be drunk by the time they come on. They are a raucous crowd.
