[Waughney]

I've been a Federer supporter for over 4 years and I'm sticking to my guns. Federer all the way.

 

[Simon]

i dont mind federer, but tennis is the type of sport where u just cant win all the time, recent weeks have suggested to me that federer is in a slump...

lol, i could cope with one of his form 'slumps'

 

[thewizard1o1]

Massu will win for sure...

 

[Simon]

dont u start, if massu wins the US open im ill give u $10 trillion,im more confident he wont win it than i was of our good mate from algeria in the olympics, i Massu so much, i refer you to the olympic tennis thread, after the 2nd round i called him the worst player in the top 50.....
i still hink hes crap, he doesnt deserve his gold medals im sorry....

 

[thewizard1o1]

lmao...is out Algerian friend at the US Open, or was he just a ringin?

 

[Simon]

i doubt hes in there, he qualified for the olympics due to being the highest ranked player from his country...

 

[Simon]

on closer examination hes ranked 330 in the world and the olympics was the first tournament hes ever played on the atp tour, a first round loss sent his ranking up 15 spots!
hes 20 years old and has career prize money totalling $23,944 US
hes done decently in the challenger tour though....

 

[Simon]

should give yas a link too, although theres not much to see!
Lamine Ouahab

 

[thewizard1o1]

He didn't play 'that' bad in the game he was in...maybe in time he will be good enough for the ATP. If he does he will have one fan .

 

[Simon]

i did another quick search, and theres actually only 3 algerian professional tennis players, and hes ranked 800+ spots in front of the other two!

 

[thewizard1o1]

Geez....is he that good

 

[Simon]

are there any other algerian sportsmen? i cant think of any, if he keeps going at this rate he could finish his career among the great algerian sportsmen of his era!

 

[thewizard1o1]

He might already be there! I think they have some good soccer players from memory...

 

[Simon]

maybe a few boxers or something, or some world champion equstrian riders

 

[thewizard1o1]

Both Zidane's parents were Algerians...they have a swimmer that is pretty good over the 50 and 100 free as well and boxing too..

 

[Slats4ever]

I hope Melzer wins. He's my outside pick... He's a top player whose got a good all round game!!!

 

[Simon]

melzer is rank, IMO left handers need big serves to be effective, he just hasnt got that and wll spend his life ranked in the mid thirties or fourties....
