I don't know if you know me from the BBC Boards or not? Who cares anyway

My Fave players are Rafael Nadal and Marat Safin (when his head is screwed on )

:devil: :whistle: :whistle:

Anyway, hello to everyone....

;)

Hi Alison. Welcome...

I have heard your name mentioned in the odd few threads on the BEEB... lol

Chat away! ;)2

Welcome :D

My two fav male players as well! :ok:

Trisco

When did Avid Merrion do the Maria mask? I never saw it! It's hysterical roflmao roflmao roflmao

Hi Alison, welcome to CC!!!!

I like Safin too - you going to be cheering him on this weekend??? I just hope he has his head screwed on and doesn't just wanna get his season over and done with!

Anyway, i look forward to chatting with you in the future!

Hi Dinky Jo

Yes I will be cheering Safin on this weekend, I am looking forward to this..
I look forward to chatting to you too in the future... thanks :D

Lets hope his head is indeed screwed on lol

heyupp Alison :) nice choice in players ;) hope you like the board

Welcome Alison...Sure I know you 100% ;) ...The time I have spent talking with you and the "right" (polite-correct) behavior to follow in a board... roflmao

In any case I really believe there will be no need to re-do this sort of discussion here...Mobs are looking carefully and if a post is offensive then it is eliminated..

As usual I agree with the second player: Marat is one of the all great when his head is cool and he is focusing only on Tennis...

B) Nadal is a great player and his technique ( on clay in particular) is just awesome but his "auto motivation" dancing after winning a point (and even after a double fault of his opponent..He did that in Madrid against Berdy) ...Well this I really do not like too much...

But he is young and with a great "energy" B) ... So He will improve on that side I am sure ;)

But Once again Ciao and Welcome...look forward to having some good discussions with you :D

Hi Alison,
I remember you very well from the BBC boards.We agree about two things ,I believe:I also think Safin is a great player,if a bit erratic, and neither of us thought Rog's Wimbledon jacket was his best ever fashion choice-Mirka must have looked away when he chose that!However,apart from that, I don't think many of our views on the Swiss maestro coincide. ;)
Looking forward to chatting to you in the future.

Good Morning fedrules...Only a question after your last post: Are you a diplomat?

I mean this part:

"and neither of us thought Rog's Wimbledon jacket was his best ever fashion choice-Mirka must have looked away when he chose that!However,apart from that, I don't think many of our views on the Swiss maestro coincide. ;) "

It is just Great Diplomacy... roflmao

BTW: I am one of the rare person who just did find nice the famous Jacket.. :D

Good Morning all....

Yes Allison we all remeber you quite well.All I willsay is welcome and that you better behave.This is lot more strict than the circus you ran at the BBC with Wise and so forth!

Enjoy!

Good Morning Dark...What a nice picture you chose at the end . . :rolleyes:

It will be really fun during the AO for sure...

BTW Brakkus (one of the great poster here) posted yesterday an interesting article about 2006 main players ...Have a look...we need to discuss that man.. :D

Ciao see you there then

Good morning,TV,
Well I thought it would be a good idea to start off on good terms and there's not too much tennis to discuss at the moment.Interesting that Alison made no mention of the GOAT(Sampras to her).Maybe this confirms my view that Sampras is brought up as a last minute argument after Fed has thrashed all of today's opposition :D Wonder what they'll say when Rog has broken all Sampras's records?

I believe you had a type there, Tv.

Yes, Mobs are watching (but I didn't think anyone else knew about that). Of course, it should read, "....if a poster is offensive then it will be eliminated." :D

WHAT !!!
No way . Absolutely loved that jacket. He is a fashion icon. That jacket was amazing and it made him look amazing.
Fashion changes all the time and you have to move with it.

Mobs? roflmao
The Godfathers watching you so I dont know about eliminated more like exterminated roflmao
You have been warned :yikes:

First,hello Alison. :D

Second,there are just too many Federers in this thread,it's like the guy is being cloned.So here's a Baghdatis to even things up a bit. ;)

Hi Brakkus,like your pic of Baghdatis,one of the most likeable characters on the tour. :D

welcome to the board :ok:

Hi back at ya.Like his personality more than anything,and also my avatar won't get confused with someone else. :D

Me too TV! I thought it was great - very stylish.

Before the Wimbledon final, my fiancee asked "do you think Rafa will come out wearing his own jacket?" Would have spiced things up a bit, for sure ;)

Rafa may need to do some things to get back under Federer's skin if he wants to start winning again, I think ...

I think the fifth Wimby has Federers name on it.
Beating Sampras's and equalling Borgs titles in a row, it will need a very special Jacket to do him justice! B)

Indeed. :bigwave:

But let's hope it comes to that. I know it doesn't look like anyone can touch him, particularly on grass, and he made it look so easy this year.

But of course we know that it's not easy. All it takes is an off-day from Fed and one player who really ups his game --- that's tennis!

Let's hope it doesn't come to that, though! :pray:

Thanks for the welcome from some of you :blink:

I won't be posting much until the AO (that's if I am still welcome)

Thanks TV for your kind words :whistle:
I look forward to speaking with you soon :unsure:

Hi Alison, just noticed I hadn't welcomed you - my sincerest apologies. Very glad a poster of your calibre will be adding their thoughts during the Australian Open. Look forward to hearing your rational and impartial views.

Night :)

Hello Wise_Analyst, no need to apologise......
I have not been on here since I joined so I was just checking things out :rolleyes:

Goodnight to you, I see you have settled in nicely :whistle:
BTW Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year :cheers:
