What a bizarre thing to troll about. He famously playing Konstantin Kravchuk in successive Challenger finals. I don't recall any matches between Evo and Khachanov.

Really rattled me that has, so I suppose mission accomplished for you. Simply can't believe the things people troll about these days.
apologies if I dont get this but I didnt see any trolling here? Seemed like a case of mistaken identity (one KK for another KK?) but generally supportive of Evo as we all are? Or am I missing something of history or context (I am quite new to the board!). Apologies for getting involved in someone elses discussion but I think I missed something in terms of what was really amiss on the first note re Evo and KK (whichever KK it was!)

I was wondering about the trolling when I read this too.

Anyhow on with the tennis, 3 out of 4 in round 2... not bad hey! Anybody fancy some upsets in round two?

Kyle is up against Carreno-Busta, tough opponent but winnable I would say and if you want to meet anyone in Round 2, 30th seed is about as good as you can get. I reckon Kyle will cause an upset.

Evo v Cilic is a tough one but I reckon Cilic is flappable and someone like Evo might frustrate the heck out of him. Going to go for a big upset on that as well. Think they are playing late in the day as well from what I have seen, so maybe slightly cooler and slower , suiting Evo more?

Whoops! So he did. Don't know how I got that so wrong!

Surprisingly no-one seemed to realise that Stelling's tongue was firmly in his cheek when he made that post. Reverse-trolling, if you will. An interesting approach.

Probably, indeed that makes much more sense but, mildly amusing as this is, throwing the word "troll" around can be pretty sensitive and probably best avoided.
