Yeah I caught that during the match, who would’ve though the guy had a bit of a temper.

I was busy with rapid eye movement when the match took place, but with all due respect, I didn’t think anyone had a chance against RF anyway. I thought he could win the US Open in his sleep—and mine.

Now I HAVE to watch all Spurs games, lest they lose because of the absence of my presence.

You know what that shot is called? “The great Willy”. Do you know who’s “Willy”? Guillermo Vilas, that’s who. He invented the shot. AND HE’S ARGENTINE! EAT IT, WORLD! WOOOOOOOOO

…You obviously never saw Vilas do it, eh? He won a zillion points with it, and with far worse rackets. YouTube it.

I’ve seen them. But I don’t think any were at the level of the one Federer pulled off against Novak.

I gottta agree with my south american friend. Vilas’ stroke was powerful. (yes, I know… twss). Give Borg and Vilas the technological advantages that today’s players have and they’d be kicking ass and taking names.

You’re crazy. I’d link you to some of those shots, but I couldn’t find anything on YouTube. I’ll just point out that: a) inventing the shot, and b) winning points with those slow wooden rackets; is far more difficult than what Federer did.

And how’s that “perfecting” it? Many players have won similar points in recent years. Nadal, Djokovic, Mónaco, Gaudio, etc. etc.

yeah, even non-Argentines (that other race), such as Barkley, wouldn’t forget to yell “GINOBILI” in all caps.

Congrats to Del Potro and Argentina. It’s a tough task dethroning Federer.

On a side note, is it just me or does he look Irish in this picture?

I knew I wasn’t crazy. The beard looks like the Notre Dame mascot’s.

And he’s ready to grab a plate o’ spuds and kick back for happy hour at a pub.

Is it just me, or does Del Potro look a whole lot like Hipuks (from the illusion crushing thread)? He also looks just like a buddy of mine from Argentina. Do all men from Argentina other than LatinD look exactly the same? It is as though they are assembled on a line with customizable leg and torso lengths, with identical head components added at the end.

No. Definitely not. But some Argentines look similar. But some look very different from the other similar-looking gentleman. Confusing?

by Gino20 on Sep 23, 2009 7:01 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs

I have to say, sometimes I look at a girl or guy, and I get the feeling they’re from Argentina, and if I ask I’m usually right, it’s weird because God knows Argentina is a clusterfuck of different nationalities, maybe something else is giving out their Argentinity.
