Many more. We do punch above our weight. Boxing we're bloody goot at. Cricket we rule the world. We do very well.

Good list and you could probably add another 20

John Millam has slotted in nicely as a tennis commnetator

He's a natural. You'd think he'd be doing the Open the last 20 odd years.

In what parallel universe has Djokovic all of a sudden morphed into a statesman?
Bizarre episodes of poor sportsmanship throughout his career.
No dramas with acknowledging the quality of his play, but break it down with the good bloke Nole stuff.

Just as a matter of interest and excuse my ignorance but what is the Nole stuff ?

 

[PowerfulPies2023]

Medvedev to take of business vs Zverev? This semi's got fireworks written allover it.


Set to explode. Fiery characters.

 

[PowerfulPies2023]

Extra Fireworks I might add!

Nole = fanboy nickname for Novak.

Nole = fanboy nickname for Novak.

Just as a matter of interest and excuse my ignorance but what is the Nole stuff ?

Serbian nickname/diminutive for Novak.

 

[gutsroy]

Cheers. Knew that but not sure what it meant.

Aah, ok.
I think in general, it's a common shortening,but I did read sometime that Nole translates as 'he who' and that the fanboys picked it up to sort of signify that 'he's him'.
But no idea if that's true, just read it somewhere.

[gutsroy]

Wow, what a random stat. What are the odds?

 

[Drummond]

Let’s go Sacha awesome start!!

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Fck he's going to demolish Med if he keeps going at this rate

 

[ep2018]

Meddy is back

 

[Xtreme]

Zverev in the AO final ??

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Good fight back by Med

 

[Drummond]

Well if he cant win the set with a double break advantage then I don’t give him much hope of winning this set or the match. I hate passive Zverev.

 

[Ohitsthatguy]

I find Med boring as hell but anyone but Zverev

 

[ep2018]

..... Meddy is back

 

[Drummond]

Okay breaks for a third time this set, please serve it out!

 

[Barrybran]

You can't miss that

 

[Drummond]

UNBELIEVABLE HALF VOLLEY wow!!!

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]
