QUOTES OF ROUND 3
WimbledonAce (AM, but posting on CC) after Count Duckula's injury: "Can't believe Step is playing on 1 leg and still doing well!"
tlimvvo2max (CC) "Wawrinka 5-3 up on Levine in first set ... who have I got for this one? Marat." Oops!
beaujarkko (TA) "Radek and we have some kinda crazy thing goin' on, for sure, and he comes through for us again." (isn't that "Radek and us?!")
eblunt (BT) from Friday ... "Doesn't BOTB just get you. Just when I was composing my "I'm never playing this damn thing ever again" flounce message, having dropped 140 places for what appeared to be no reason whatsover (although in reality might have been because I have a totally irrational dislike of Troiki and never pick him ..... ), then suddenly the clouds clear again. Having mistakenly thought I had Potty thru to the quarters, I suddenly found out I had him out in the next round. Add to that Big Ivo finally coming good (standard back against the King GEM, Tsonga policy) and suddenly I'm max points so far for this round and I've got all my last 8 still standing. I've saved my flounce mail as a draft though. I'll be completely down in the dumps again by 9pm tonight once Cilic has blown a 2 set lead and bottled or something ...."
mjd (BT) "Looks like I will meet eblunt on my way down - my banker Tsonga and possibly now Haas? will fail me today." - well I suppose trusting a French tennis player with your money is about as sensible as trusting any other banker these days ...
Another long but good one from the same board:
"Portsey (BT): So it's 2-2 final set, who do you want to win?
Better Half: Oooh, i don't know, who's playing?
Portsey: Juan Carlos Ferrero and Fernando Gonzalez......
Better Half: Ahh they sound exotic, "Hu-an Carloshh or Gonzalethhhh"
Portsey: C'mon it's 3-3 now.
Better Half: I don't know, let me take a closer look at them, ahh Fernando does seem quite fun, and Ferrero is too serious, i think he needs to smile more.
Portsey: Right, so you're going for Gonzalez then?
Better Half: No, Ferrero.
Portsey: O-kay, so you like the moodier one, i guess due to his determination and focus? His last stand, it seems, in the face of a Chilean onslaught, his ability to return after inju.......
Better Half: No, because he looks like a pirate.
How do you reply to that??"
Finally, Roy (GR) spares no expense in celebrating his return to the BOTB top 10: "...Rock on Tommy!!!!!! I had a little side bet on him at Ladbrokes for this round as well. I can afford an ice cream this afternoon now." Steady on, Roy! I wonder what he'll do if he gets back in the top 3, I wonder - two scoops and a James Flake?
