And about WS of all things!

hmmm I think we had longer ones. :lol:

I think BK did "tell it like he feels it", which is fine and much respect for that. Problem is that I (and a few others) simply don't share his feeling.

Norberto's game may have 1-2 less dimensions then some other player's games, but whatever dimensions he does have - he is simply the best in these. Yes he serves wide a lot, but if you cover that serve - he will go down the line and will punish you with the best T serves around. So you can't really say he always serves wide. Generally he plays percentages game, a game to WIN, within rules.

And since when all-out-risk game doesn't require talent? My belief is that to risk requires more talent then not to risk. I can play both styles, and I know for a fact, playing all out risk is a losing proposition for 99% of ITST players, Norberto being in top 1%.

I personally have no problem playing all-out riskers, most times I can confuse them into enough unforced errors to lose the match. And that includes Norberto, I have a record to prove it. We generally split our matches, him playing all-out and me playing my usual all around game. But "he is all-risk" and therefore "I'm better" even thou I "lose" my matches to him argument - just doesn't hold up BK.

BK is a good player. But WS tour is not what it used to be year ago. I even think that if Anteros, Coolhand, Pica and few other were around - Norberto would not be in top 5. And BK would be around top 8. Well, maybe I am wrong, but that is what I think.

My 2c.

Wow! That was fantastic! (grabs popcorn and turns up volume on the remote) I always knew that behind this facade of decency that nobody here can really stand each other. Why? Because we all want to do exactly what Norberto is doing. Dominate! Props to Bkristian though. I am a sore loser but never really win that much. He is my idol and new favorite player!!! Jerry! Jerry! Jerry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :twisted:

LOL at the whole 'he may win much more than me and dominate every single player but I'm still better' argument :lol:

hahahahaha! This is so funny. First of all, i knew my intentions when a wrote that from the beginning. I was like, well bk how you should sound? Like the typical good loser player or maybe throw some feisty words to it, to make it a little different. That's all, but guess what, Baghdad fell the need to teach me of how to be a gracious loser. Im not gonna lie that i really wanted to win the Australian Open, Im not gonna lie that Norberto played an awesome but im not gonna lie that i didnt play how i often play him. When the match was over he told me gg and i told him it was alright. CONGRATS. Because i knew i could have perform a lot better. Im not saying that with me playing my best i should have won it. I mean in a lot of our matches (9-2) i have lost to him even by playing my best tennis. That I call him One Dimensional Player. Well.... i think those words were the triggers of all of this. :-)

Im a very competitive person and by him being the best of itst of course i want to beat him, of course im gonna go into every match thinking im gonna win, ofcourse im gonna think Im Better than him because if i dont.. well buddy im done!
Last is this longest topic or whatever of itst, it is because of you! So dude, chill out or go and practice that awesome sim game of yours or you can keep commenting on this threat. It's your choice, buddy!
By the way you can keep calling out some people aswell. You are good at it, im gonna take some notes if by any chance i get to do another interview ;-)

I want to just iron something out first and foremost, I am not trying to antagonize you Brisktian. You are probably a good guy but each time you reply it gets more and more absurd :shock:

First you play the whole "I am the best player ever in my mind" card, then the whole "LOL this is so funny I wanted to turn a few heads" card then when the chips were down you were back to kissing Noberto's bottom. Make your mind up man.

I knew were you are coming from on the wanting to win and feeling frustrated, man I am sure everyone at some time in their life has felt that way, we would not be human if we didn't! However I don't buy the whole "I MUST think I am better than someone else who I know is better and therefore I feel the need to tell the world my fantasy". Man I got spanked by Coolhand Texas like 8 times in Mens Singles when I first started out, usually in tie breaks and I knew I had it in me to beat him but he had my card and was pound for pound the better player - no amount of convincing myself otherwise would of changed that. However if I were then to go shouting out to people "I am the MacDaddy" not only would people think I am smoking out of my bum but also I wouldn't believe it myself, so why say it? Ah well.

One thing I do believe however is that you wrote all this because...."
