Forrest Gump said 'Stoopid is as stoopid does'. Is the same true of Poms? In that case, Rusedski was a true pom. Won nothing in Tennis.

Rusedski relied on his serve even more than Andy Roddick does. Without it he would have been a goodish club player, nothing more.

Oh look, I made a post then Trev made one. He must be stalking me... Rolling Eyes

Watch out where he puts his stalk ...

by Zat Wed 04 Feb 2009, 05:52

Goes without saying.

"Rusedski was Canadian."

He was, yes.

by Zat Thu 05 Feb 2009, 01:07

Wikipedia

Rusedski was born in Canada to a British mother and a German-born father of Polish-Ukrainian descent. He was a very promising junior player in Canada in the 1980s and subsequently caused some anger in Canada when he decided to adopt British citizenship and play for Britain in 1995.

He was Canadian, then became British by choice. Must have known he'd fit right in with their stellar tennis programs.

Fell for a British girl, didn't he? It was only after that that he decided to move his whole life over here.

Quite sweet, really.

And who could blame him? Blighty's famous for her prize totty.

Why the masquerade as "Ruud van Nistelrooy" then?

by OP Tipping Fri 20 Feb 2009, 02:18

Crikey. Hewitt beat someone decent.

Did he "Boycott" Bec?

OK ...I apologise to Mr Boycott ....and to all the decent girls

OK, that's it OP, time to resurrect the Superbowl threads...

I need a ruling: Is Udomchoke a funny name for a sportsman, or is it not?

by JGK Mon 23 Feb 2009, 05:38

Is he a Victorian cricketer?

by OP Tipping Mon 23 Feb 2009, 07:00

He is currently playing in Victoria, though not cricket.

by OP Tipping Mon 23 Feb 2009, 07:31

Might as well use this 10year old thread...

The great Aussie hope Alex de Minaur is choking massively against some Swiss nobody. This confirming that there is no sport that Australian men are good at.
