When I left school, I went to Sydney with my high school a friend Will, and his girlfriend, he said. Is this a tennis story, I asked him? Well sort of, not really, no, he said. You sound unsure, I told him. No, I'm sure there is no tennis connection, but one night we were all walking in Kings Cross, and. The red light district, I interrupted him. Yes, well actually we were living in Rushcutter's Bay which is just next door to the cross, he said. Trish, that was Wills sweetheart at the time, was working as a waitress in there somewhere. Come on, I said. Well, we were walking past this blue movie theatre, and two bouncers were bringing out this old wino chap. He looked quite tall and fit, actually, but he had taken his blow-up girlfriend in there to watch the porn flicks with him. The bouncers couldn't see the funny side, so they brought him and his girlfriend out, and while one held him from the back, the other one wound up and smacked him hard, flush with a big right hook to the jaw. The other one let him go, but instead of crumpling in a heap, as he was standing on a
slight hill, which we had walked up, facing uphill, and he just went rigid and fell over backwards. There was a terrible clunk when his head hit the pavement. That's awful, I said. What happened next? Well the bouncers grabbed an arm each and dragged him around the corner down beside the theatre in an alley way, and put his girlfriend, who was by now completely deflated, on top of him like a blanket. We were all transfixed, it happened quite suddenly. We called an ambulance, but he didn't look too good. That's awful, I said. It really was, he said, I still remember it quite vividly.
This is a story I don't tell too often, he said. You know, I think people are pretty much sick of your stories, don't you, I said? Yes, its the impression I get too, that people in general are pretty much sick of me completely, he agreed. Why do you persist with it then, I said?

Re: Doha R1: Angelique Kerber def. [9] Sabine Lisicki 46 64 61
TennisRacist
Great job for taking out that overrated phony. Where is her so called always shining sweet lovable smile at the handshake? oops
Even Wickmayer gave Kerber nicer handshake, I see
Why sabine did behave like that? Did she expected that Kerber will give
her that match because shes higher in ranking? or because Kerber just
won tournament?
Your from same country and team or youre not that dosent matter - youre
tennis player and should always play your best against your opponent.
Sabine dont know how to lose with class, she propably thinks her opponents should lose to her because SHES THE ONE.
Maybe she handshaked Kerber that way because Kerber had brass to beat her
When Lisicki lost to Iveta Benesova (in fedcup) she told something like this: i did lost even though i am better player overall.
And i am not saying that because im hater of Sabine - i actually am/was fan of her, but now im not sure..
She really should change her attitude, she wont win anything more with her current.
Wiggly Lisicki is such a drama queen.
She can fake that smile all she wants, anyone with a functioning brain can see right through her.
Mike81 Sabine really lives the highs
and the lows! She wears her heart on her sleeve and is an emotional
girl. I don't think she intends to 'look down' on others, she's just
disappointed in herself when she plays badly. Yeah I agree the handshake
wasn't the best but I don't think you can draw conclusions about her
personality as a whole based on a few incidents. Normally a very
positive, friendly and nice person. That's my observation and this comes
from a person who used to talk to her on twitter twitter
she never would've bothered talk online to jo bloggs like me, if she
thought herself some untouchable superstar. I mean I myself have doubted
her attitude in losses at times, but I don't think it's fair to say
she's up herself. So don't be too harsh. I love her very much and I give
her the benefit of the doubt! There's no more beautiful and genuine
celebration in tennis than watching Sabine so happy after one of her
victories, so I can't wait for the next win!
You probly think I do it just to piss people off, he said. I don't need you to tell me what I think, I said. Oh fuck, not another one, he said. What did you say, I demanded, would you care to repeat that? Nobody said
"fuck," he said. Why not, I demanded again, were they scared. Yes that was probably the reason, he said. Do you know what people say about you, he asked? No, what, I said. They say you have delusions of grandeur. And what is wrong with that, I asked? "The grandeur of God", he stated, you know, delusions, they think you have ideas above your status. Who does? There's quite a few powerful, who hate you. Not just you, they hate all women. You'd be surprised just how thick teh hatred is. It needs a bit of prodding, but expose yourself as weak in any way, and they'll be down on you like a ton of bricks. I doubt that very much, I said. All the men I know are very sweet, and lovely. OK say what you like, but I've asked the Shaolin Temple to put a special watch on you, for your own protection, mind. They're discreet. They must be, I said, I've never noticed them.
Yeah, well maybe they decided they were too busy to do it. With them you never know. Yes, I think you are a bit of a delusional weirdo yourself, I said. Couldn't you think of something more original than that, he asked? There is absolutely no doubt in my own mind that I am by far and away, the top order predator in my particular part of the universe, so maybe you do have a point after all. Yeah, well nobody is that good, I said. not even you, he asked? more
I like Caro and wasn't really a fan of Myskina,
but really, the Caro only trumps Myskina in 2 categories - the ability to handle power hitters better and a better serve.
pav Myskina was much better at swearing at her coach.
Serena Williams- “I’m going to shove this ball down your fucking throat!”
To a lineswoman at the 2009 US Open, who called foot fault to bring up
MP for Serena's opponent Kim Clijsters. The threat led to a point
penalty which lost her the match.
“Everyone knows I’m #1.”
Says a #2 ranked Serena Williams in 2009.
