Djokovic lost to Taro Daniel today, 6-1 in third so maybe cams loss wasnt so disappointing after all...

 

New level of trolling from JonH

Cam loses to Taro, - Shocking loss, Taro is such as bad player, everybody knows it

Taro takes down Nole- OMG, this shows Cam was unlucky, Taro was obv hot this week. 

 

Real facts- Taro has always been and always will be challenger trash, and Novak- well his level is so painful right now...

 As an aside, Djoko did make the last 16 of Melbourne so he isnt that shoddy in general (maybe not #1 but many would say last 16 is decent), but yes IW was a painful performance...

"Challenger trash" enters the lexicon of tennis terminology. I think in the Vandy Dictionary it essentially means a challenger level player ( that in itself with some maybe a rather flexible term ).

 Challenger trash- a player whose career ranking will fluctuate around 75-150.  They are consistent in that they will never dip into the 200, but will never break the top 50 as they do not have the talent. So as a result, to maximise their ranking, they often can be found vulturing weak asian challengers and weak atp 250 and sneaking points. 

Another prime Japenese example, Go Seoda or whatever his name is.

More politely referred to as a journeyman, perhaps.

 Racism is not tolerated in this forum.  Tbh sounds more like a motorbike.

If what I said was racist I'll apologise now, happily leave the forum. I'll wait further comment. I'd like to think it was humour and Mr Soeda might have laughed himself. Maybe I'm wrong and am racist? Apologies to anyone I offended, I'll go and find another forum to hang out. Bye all

Jon, stay your hand.  On the evidence of his past utterances (his comments on Egyptian Futures, to name but one example), if anybody's racist on this board it is he!

Thank you - probably a bit touchy from me, most likely linked to just smashing my car wing mirror on our fence as I tried to reverse out of the driveway!

Vandy wasn't even being serious, JonH. He was taking the mick out the forum.

Your comments are absolutely fine. And sorry to hear about the wing-mirror ! (God didn't give me the reversing gene - I have lots of sympathy!).

 Yes, probably me being a snowflake myself. Obviously I belong ! 

I'm usually quite good at reversing, hearing Chelsea denied a penalty at Barcelona took my fragile concentration away!  And I dont even support Chelsea ! 

 

Thanks.all - normal service resumed

I will drive for ages looking for somewhere more straightforward to park than a relatively huge road side space that I would only entertain the locals by attempting to reverse into 

I think I have just once decently reversed round a corner. In my test !

Bad drivers definitely not tolerated on this forum! Leave now!!! 

Vandy is an acquired taste, prone to knights move thinking and extreme perhaps even extremist views in every sense but a bit like Russia Today not worth banning as after a bit you understand that it is what it is and occasionally funny (as in this case.. i.e. It was an ironic aside as Vandy has been verbally flayed in the past for treading a path of mysogny etc.... indeed every path you can think of) and not worth rising to. 

Even if at any point you do get really upset by all means leave it for a bit and then come back, very very occasionally there is the odd spat and it's normally quite predictable ...... SC upsets an American or a Glaswegian ... Indi or A131 indulge in a bit of annual pro Wimbledon wildcard baiting, that season is about to start .... CD starts yet another debate about French junior tennis on the BritishTennis.net website....... BiS tries to turn it into the dirty Leeds fanzone and I note ..... it has all gone quiet over there!
