Talk About Tennis 2.0

This will simply be a topic to keep track of our winners here at TAT2.0, as that function is not present in the software.

I can’t recall what one I got lucky in and won..I strongly believe it was the 2020 French Open, where no fans were there to applaud..Podoroska did it for me.. (I swear I have no memory)..which is good for this contest!

I've been playing Suicide Tennis since 2011 and have only one medal. Surely I should have made it to the Hall of Fame of never giving up. I'm like the Lleyton Hewitt of the ST world.

You are indeed very, very good at not being good, but there are worse records

Even Lleyton eventually got #2, so keep going!

I'm pretty sure no one will ever beat my double-cheeked record. I believe it was the AO about 4 or 5 years ago. Both of my picks crashed and burned within an hour of the start of play for Day 1. My women's choice got slaughtered, and my men's choice either withdrew or retired.

Top THAT, folks.

Who were the Cheekers? I know you remember. You definitely have a place in the HOF Double-Cheeked Gallery, enshrined with a poorly constructed Ikea barstool that will collapse when you sit on it. The gallery is located on a window ledge.

"Cheeked" and "double-cheeked" are my favorite TAT-isms. I also love saying Hot Sauce and everyone knows who it is. Reminds me of Hot Lips on MASH.

My HOF moment was about the same time. I need the French Open to complete my men's SP career slam. Finally, I made it to the weekend and had a pretty clear path to the end with Rafa winning. It was one of those years when he would definitely win. On Friday night, I played mixed doubles against the biggest d-bag ever and he made me so mad that I was still raging about it the next morning - and had a dreaded No Pick for Saturday. Might be my only No Pick. I played out the SP to myself and would have won.

I still can't stand that guy and won't play against him.

I know this is awful, but I honestly don't remember who the two players were. You would think I'd have their faces on dartboards, but I don't. Probably because it was over so quickly. And of course, there's no way to access the old TAT board.

This is great since the name changed
