Bernard Tomic's run at his home Slam is over.
The Aussie prodigy, who stunned Italian Potito Starace in the first round, struggled with his game and was shown the second round door by Luxembourg's Gilles Muller 6-3, 1-6, 4-6 2-6. He hit 7 double faults, hit 39 errors and only converted 1 of 6 break point chances. But, it was a great showing for the 16-year old in any case.
What was NOT a good showing were his spindly arms in this sleeveless Nike shirt. Please let Bernie's image in this gear make the case that these shirts, by any brand, must be banned - permanently.
Now I know the Rafanatics will not be pleased with this statement but if Rafa gets to wear them then EVERYONE will be given the opportunity to wear them. And we don't want EVERYONE to wear them do we? (Please study Bernie's pics above + below intently.)
It's a sacrifice I'm willing to make.

Ohhh my goddd!! He's so ridiculous with RAFA'S sleeveless shirt!!!!! And just because of him I'm starting hating this kind of shirt... Hate uuuuuuuuuuuuuu
ReplyDeleteSpaghetti arms!!!!! o_O
ReplyDeleteI think all men tennis players should wear sleeveless shirts, regardless their arm sizes. I always want to take a peak at their arm pit hair.
ReplyDeleteU know what???? I've just read on a French website that Ana and Nando broke up!!!! Besides, according to this website, Ana thinks Federer is a great man and she would like to spend more time with him in order to know him better and to share their experience!
ReplyDeleteMirka WAKE UUUUUUUUP!!!!!!!!!!!!
WHOA Ana and Rog would be SUCH a disturbing pairing!! LOL
ReplyDeleteWell Sam in some Serbian newspaper, some time ago (around USO if I remember correctly ), there was an interview with Federer and he said that Mirka was Ana fan :)
ReplyDeleteHA - spaghetti arms. More like angel hair. Geez - now I'm hungry for some shrimp scampi.
ReplyDelete*reads pit hair comment*
there goes that.
I don't see why Regal Rog shouldn't find a second life. I mean, Mirka's doing her Crackberry, fingering it at will in front of him, us, the world basically.
ReplyDeleteHe must feel so neglected and disrespected by her.
So what would their name be? RogAna sorta like her mom's name Dragana. Fedana? Fedovic? Rogovic? Somebody stop me!
LOL @ the scampi comment. My thoughts exactly.
ReplyDeleteAnd yeah, I couldn't think of a name for them either. Just not meant to be.
Not that Mirka doesn't annoy the crap outta me, don't get me wrong. ;-)
I'm thinking Rog & Elena Dementieva (Fedelena?)...
sonja: Fedelena hehe! She's kinda hot I have to say (though don't know how much that means coming from a gaybie). Great legs, and yes i'm jealous MUCH.
ReplyDeleteuvijek likes them too. uvijek can you confirm? uvi??
Hell, I'LL confirm her great legs if uvijek won't. They are KILLER.
ReplyDeleteSpaghetti, angel hair...*giggles*
I wonder, though, Rich, if you say that when this kid is say, 22 and 6'6 with bulging biceps? Just sayin'. Anything can happen. We don't even know if he's gone through puberty yet.
See that? I forgot what I was going to say about Fed. I want him to get with Martina Nav and become Federina. Fits both of them, doncha think? ;)
ReplyDeleteme thinks so!
ReplyDelete"I wonder, though, Rich, if you say that when this kid is say, 22 and 6'6 with bulging biceps? Just sayin'. Anything can happen. We don't even know if he's gone through puberty yet."
true enough (not on the puberty thingy). but there'll be another angel hair armed-boy flexing what he doesn't have...i say just be done with it!
see if we just had (sleeved) shirts vs. skins we wouldn't have this issue.
as someone with stick arms i never reveal them to the world, so bravo to tomic for not having body issues
ReplyDeletesleeveless shirts do spare us the sight of players unsticking their sweaty sleeves from their shoulders before every. single. serve. on a hot day
"Fedelena hehe! She's kinda hot I have to say (though don't know how much that means coming from a gaybie)."
ReplyDeleteIt does mean a lot! It's like me finding Scarlett Johansson the most beautiful woman in the world (I'm jealous, too LOL).
i think you should also a memo to del potro...
ReplyDeleteGilles Simon should play sleeveless and in briefs!
