Some funny tennis quotes and facts:
Best comeback, men
Australian Open fan to Taylor Dent: “I paid good money for this.”
Dent: “This is costing me a lot in pride, too!”Best exchange, men, part I
Question
to Roddick: “I think everyone in this room would say that you’re an
incredibly loyal guy, a good friend and so forth …”
Roddick: “Thanks, buddy. I think you’re swell, too.”Best exchange men, part II
Question
to Roddick after he was humiliated by Hewitt in the Masters Cup
semifinals: “Your volleys seem like they are a lot better right now.
Have you been putting a lot of time into improving your volleys?”
Roddick: “I’m glad you still say that after today.”
Q: “Definitely. This week, I couldn’t have been more impressed.”
Roddick: “Where have you been the last hour and a half? You just get here? Did the rain throw you off?”
Q: “Yeah, actually, I didn’t see the match today.”
Roddick:
“All right then (smiling). Yeah, I’m the man. In that case, I kick
<censored>. I’m great. I’m volleying like a machine.”Best exchange, men, part III
Tim Henman to Roddick after beating him in a tiebreaker for the sixth time in their past 11 sets. “Nice match.”
Roddick: “Thanks. We’ll have to play a close one next time.”And the weird thing was there was an hour-long rain delay during the match
Roddick
asked whether he watched the Wimbledon match between Serena Williams
and Jennifer Capriati. [Serena defeated Capriati 6-1, 6-1.] “No. I was
in the bathroom. I came out, and it was done.”And it goes well with a side of Zimonjic and a splash of Haehnel
After
losing to Mardy Fish in the San Jose final, Agassi was asked what he
thought of Fish. Agassi responded: “I eat it all the time. It’s got
lots of protein.”But otherwise, he’s a pretty good mate
Writing a column in
the London Sunday Times, Pat Cash had the following to say about Mark
Philippoussis: “He is a sulker who likes to blame everybody else but
himself for his failures. Anybody with sufficient substance wouldn’t
have resorted to the telephone to vent his annoyance, but confronted me
face to face. Such cowardice is the main reason he will never be a
champion.”I wished he served harder and had more girlfriends
Skier Bode Miller told Tennis magazine that his favorite player is Philippoussis on the grounds “he’s way underrated.”–edit–
from John Mayer’s Daughters:
“Boys you can break
You find out how much they can take
Boys will be strong and boys soldier on
But boys would be gone without warmth of a woman’s good, good heart “
So the moral of that is you must be good to your daughters, but the
boys you can totally kick their ass because they can take
it..haha. Saw what happen in the butterfly effect??anyways enough of that. Gotta study for psych.
