oh one more thing...........if anybody wants some "inside info" I was eating dinner with Safin's coach.........he said the following:


"He will win this tourney.......you just watch"!


of course what else is he going to say But hey, if anybody knows Safin's mindset it would be his coach now wouldn't it??? And we all know that if Safin's mind is focused........the boy is tough............and he did win this tourney before.....same year he won the US Open!!! Do you see my point!!



oops almost forgot.......here's a smiley face for DimOK



Also...........if any other people who read this forum are at tourney tonight (Friday night) let me know.........we can split a 15 dollar slice of pizza

I'm especially interested in females between the ages of 19 and 29 who look like supermodels!

Ok Ok...........time for a little story about kickserv's day......for those of you who don't give a sh** stop reading...........


I'm driving to Toronto to watch some tennis.........here's what happens:


I was planning on arriving around 6pm........well that didn't happen..........was stuck in traffic and spent 30 minutes at a friken bank (all I had to do is make a dam deposit!). Then when I finally arrived at the tennis centre I thought everything was ok....NOPE:moon: ........I have a "practice partner pass" which allows me to park right at the courts..........well no more...since my friend is outta the tourney (he lost 2nd round doubles) my parking privledges had been revoked.........arrrgggggg So I have to park in god dam Bolivia.......had to buy a dam compass just to find my way to the courts.................so I walk into the grounds at 8:15pm...........over two hours late! So I think Nalbandian's match is still going on.........as soon as I get within earshot of Cente Court I hear "Game Set Match Roddick"......FU** .............just what I needed.........that Nalbandian.........can't stand him!

And since I arrive so late I miss the match I wanted to watch most (Nestor doubles match).............now I'm one pissed dude....I'm already 0-2 on my tennis bets (Safin loss) and I'm hungrier then a Great White in a bathtub............so I get a 79 dollar slice of pizza and sulk............I go to one of my Tennis Canada's buddies office and log on the net to check my other bets..........I'm losing them as well..............I tell ya I'm one unhappy dude................so I do what any smart guy would do......I decide to quadruble my bet on Novak........yep that's right..........cleared out my account...........bet it all........a ton a ton I tell ya

After all I'm sitting like 5 meters from the baseline...........I feel I have control.........ya know.....I'm involved........I'm right there......I clap here a yell there!.........and I make all the difference! I mean it's so smart


So..........I sit down (sweating my ass of from my 38km parking lot trek) and start watching! .............did I mention I bet a ton!??? Oh yeah I did..........


The start of the match is ugly....lots of errors........Novak goes down 5-3 in the first set..........oh boy........oh boy!.........he then turns it on and wins 1st set 7-5..........WOW!!! Cruises through the second and wins 7-5 6-3


OH YEAH :toast: :spotting: :Yep: :thumb:


I drive home happy.............I love tennis
