I found the article: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...ace-storm.html

That lyric is quite profound.

Thanks for the link. Some people should really think about this.

Let's hope Serena just got bored and lowered her level. I hope she takes Azarenka seriously if she meets her in the final, but it's Serena we're talking about, I doubt she really gives much thought to her opponents.

Made my morning, though I never thought, even in my wildest dreams, that Berdych might beat him, shame on me. Murray has a great chance now, probably the best so far.

That's not entirely impossible.

Honestly, it's still baffling how it's still an "issue".

I remember reading that article. The Venus thread is equally It started with posters claiming that guy is hot and Venus is ugly, which I find but then it went from bad to worse. Are those people serious, I'm not sure? I think black and Asian people are in general more beautiful than white people, so what? It's just a matter of taste not a statement that you don't like your own race.

Exactly. I really don't trust Sarin at US Open. I mean she lost to Stosur. Enough said. IF she doesn't sleepwalk vs Errani, it's better for her to face Pova. I feel like she'll lose to Vika

Murray has a great chance now, probably the best so far.

Famous last words

That's not entirely impossible.

I always wonder what would have happened if Martina had got her claws in before Mirka? He'd probably be retired by now.

Omg exactly. It's just a choice of partner.

I'm like Matt01, but those posters should all be reported and banned. Imagine someone suggesting that Dominika should've never dated Monfils because he's black. That poster would be banned in a second.

I must say that it doesn't surprise me completely tbh. If you read Serbian articles about Ana dating Adam or Verdasco, there will be so many retarded posts about it. Since Ana is considered to be one of the most beautiful Serbian women, there are always going to be people who will judge her for not dating Serbian men. You can often read comments like: "Has she ever dated a Serb? Are Serbian guys not good enough for her?"

I can't believe people still discuss racism, especially on such a worldwide forum.
Bitcherer is gone and he won't get spanked by Nole in the finals. Serena will take it all.

I wish they had lasted longer, they were cute

The mentality of people is amazing.

Novak is going to have a hard time even if he makes the finals. Likely another gruelling match with DelPo & potentially being followed up by being worn out by Ferrer. Ferrer had better take out Tipsy

Side note: Even though I don't really care for DelPo, he seems like such a nice person The fact that he cried until 3am after losing to Olderer at the Olympics makes me like him more

Is there a better way to wake up than to news of Fed being outplayed by Thomas? I thought Berdych might be a tough obstacle, but I honestly didn't think that he would end up ousting Mister Arrogant Perfection out Way to go Thomas Btw, Marin We finally found someone to match Stosur's choking abilities And Serena is just so scary

Well, whatever happens, my two faves are still here Djoko and Pova FTW And yes, I'm aware of the fact that Pova would probably get bageled by Rena if she reaches the final

Comms: "We've seen some weird shots from Roger, tonight.
"How many has he shanked off the frame?!"

Said as if it's so rare Shankerer4Lyf

First time I've ever seen Berdych's parents. He looks like his Mum. Dad taking pics with iPhone

What a bunch of useless threads in GM. The best one must be: "Why is Azarenka shrieking?"

already looking forward to another "peak Ivanovic vs peak Dementieva" thread. Or "peak Pierce vs peak Kvitova".

[Cilla]

The Rosol question at the end of the vid. Berdych is so insulted I don't really think he quite grasped the question.
