I am very happy with Grigor's win today! What a fighter after the tough and long QF/SF matches!

On to Indian Wells!

All of my picks lost this weekend. The only bright side is that Rafa didn't play.

Andy, Tommy Hass, and Berdych. Who's left that I can put a curse on?

#woe is me.

we underestimated dimitrov: he is playing well again.


gulbis was on a bit of a roll and Andy is always tough.

dimitrov is having one hell of a tournament.

Guilty as charged. I thought his uber aggressive style would do him in with Andy.

#gutted.

Lady TT, it stands for: Officer of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire.

It is a post-nominal title and an honour to receive this and become a member in the order of chivalry of Great Britain.
It is usually awarded due to outstanding service in battle, high visible accomplishments in one's profession, significant acts of charity, and so on.

Only the top two orders of chivalry are automatically permitted to use the 'Sir' or 'Dame' title before their name.
Knight Grand Cross or Dame Grand Cross of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (GBE)
Knight Commander or Dame Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (KBE or DBE)

But one may be knighted without attaining those titles. 

Mr. Murray, OBE, could still be promoted or knighted later on and become Sir Andrew Murray.

Respectfully,
masterclass

Wow! You learn something new every day, and to think I felt dumb for even asking the question. I'm so glad I did. I would have never guessed the magnitude of OBE.

Thank you.

So Grigor Dimitrov takes down both Gulbis and Mr. Andy Murray, OBE with some tight wins.  Congrats to him and his supporters.

Commiserations to the losers and their fans.

The Highlander will return.  He is still recovering, playing about top 15-20 level, and should reach his best form by the summer.  I look for him to have a good tournament against top competition by Miami, making the SF at least.

Respectfully,
masterclass

masterclass, what does OBE mean?

Congrats to the Dmitrov fan.

Post by: Clay Death on February 18, 2014, 03:55:55 pm
that is a strong field there general masterclass.

ferru is going to be red hot from all his work on clay. nishikori just took home a title in Memphis.

andy will try to make a run for the gold also. and what about gulbis? he is doing well as of late.

dimitrov is also slowly coming into his own.
