this was a great picture.
I have a feeling that he is not really looking to kill himself to win this one. that would be my approach anyway given his issues with the knee and overall health.
its not worth giving up 2014 in case the knee goes again.
what he is doing is racking up points and that appearance fee which is probably around $2 million now. so he is raking in the cash and the points in order to try to lock up the #1 rank.
that would be my guess anyway. he will take any and all matches that come somewhat easily but make sure that he does not have to go so damn hard that it leads to injury.
at any rate, he should get on clay after shanghai masters to practice and skip paris and basel.
You might be a REDNECK if...
...your state's got a new law that says when a couple gets divorced, they are still legally brother and sister.
coming back under a different account/username and making it blatantly obvious that it was him would not be tolerated at mtf or at any other forum even for a second. he would have gotten a perma ban instantly.
right now he is just playing those few fools there again. even mertov is saying good things about him.
any day now he will come up with another sickness/disease saga. he is really something emma.
maybe scott is finally waking up and realizing the damage alex has done to his forum.
it is hard to believe that tennis4you has over 4000 members and yet hardly anybody is interested in posting there.
The reason why you see posters like Mertov pouring in their sympathy is because he doesn't insult those guys on a daily basis or, say, ever. And you know how people typically are. They don't care unless it involves them. It's easy to be kind to someone who's not insulting you every day. All the posters you see on that thread are the ones Alex has always gotten along and made an extra effort to be nice to them; more importantly, they are all more or less Federer fans so the thread is for those. The only person who voiced differently is Mimi and she saw what happened on those days. He probably has asked to remove Slasher as a mod in a PM or something. I am fairly sure on that. That thread in a round about way is a plea for that. Take notice of his initial post. It's not just saying good bye.
As to 4000 members at tennis4u, since when quantity took over quality? Never, innit.
Federer is baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaak:

I suppose good to see him back. It feels weird not seeing around. Even I, who's not a fan of Federer, miss his presence at times. Hope to see Andy next year well and ready. I'd like to take a few days off during AO to support him and to watch tennis. My project will end after the 2nd week of Jan so that will allow me to take those days off. I'll probably be very tired by then anyway.

excellent post. you are spot on.
I know for a fact that nekro also was harassing scott to remove slasher from the mod duties.
nekro was a trouble maker too and I called his bluff. naturally he ran like a coward.
nekro had issues with every single person except for betty.
at any rate that forum is as dead as it can be.
I don't know why mimi stays there but that is her business. I have asked her enough times to check this place here out. she will have somebody to say hello to at least.
no worries. if they don't care then we don't care.
I do believe that alex is playing mind games with those people. he will be back there before long.

I have become a huge fan of andy murray. I think of all the players out there, he is the one who is most down to earth.
so I miss him the most.
and of course we need roger back too. the sport really needs him.
Australian open is now 96 days away. I am hoping andy is 100% by then.
roger has already said that his form is coming back. he will be a lot stronger in 2014 too.
