Talk About Tennis 2.0

Hello everybody!
This year, due to an expanded budget (we have $3 extra in our coffers), we have opened a larger, new, improved, revamped and more accommodating lounge. How? Because this time, we will hold both the LOSERS from the Survivors' Pool, and the WINNERS from the YCWJ contest.
Some of you will be the same. We have a special prize: IF the player that sinks you in the SP (i.e, that player LOST) also keeps you alive in the YCWJ, you get a bottle of your choice, plus dinner. And, if the player that beats your pick in the SP was expected to also lose in YCWJ but didn't, you get...
NOTHING!!!
Because that would be like one hell of a double bad bounce.
But you get to tell the tale.

We have everything you need because we are in NYC. Any cocktail. All the food. 34 Widescreen TV's to watch all the courts, loud music and we will be open 24/7 during these two weeks.
Hope to see you soon here. You know you will drop by!!!

Willkommen, bienvenue, welcome!

Meine Damen und Herren, mesdames et messieurs, Ladies and Gentlemen!
Guten Abend, bonsoir, good evening!
Wie geht's? Comment ça va? Do you feel good?

Yeah, I bet you DON'T. Because...



So, welcome to the Loser's section of the Lounge!

Order your favorite beverage from the barkeep, make your pick from our jukebox of hell, and settle down to watch others succeed, just like the loser you picked is doing.

I'll be my own first guest, shots of ouzo for everyone, courtesy of Sakkari's bum shoulder

There are not too many such pickers, but, here we go: We have a lot...

I've just popped in to marvel at the Bublik pickers. The audacity of that level of belief is a wonderful thing to behold. Congrats and cheers.

I always marvel at Bublik. He makes Monfils, Laconte and every other player that has been called careless look composed and thoughtful.
If you only look at the game, Bublik should have won. Easily. But that head...

My whine.
Wake up this morning, do my YCWJ. I choose two Argies, Coria and Comesana. Comesana comes from a ridiculous run at W, so I say, he can't keep that up.
So I move him to be my first pick.
And he keeps his run going. Damn!!!

Eating healthy really can do wonders, huh?



(language joke)

Actually, his name is with an Ñ. It is Comesaña.
I will let you find the language joke there

Did I miss the scouting report on Felix? I'd like a quarter to play some led zeppelin on the jukebox, because my USO just went down hard.

Led Zeppelin? Joan, at best, you get AC/DC's Highway to Hell.
I did not pick Felix because I thought it would be too early. That was a bum pick,

We have a really special treat for the Lehecka pickers. Something that will make us forget...

What do the Humbert pickers want?
