Ha, I have already been a reluctant witness to one too many "who invented Tier IVA" wars. And I mean, the wars are extra dumb because while it's good, it's not THAT good.

Yeah, I think the best one is obviously JenFat/Fatriati. That's just genius.

Thanks. Another of mine from the CBS days.

Hurley. Do you think Sproule and Matchpoint were the same person?

I remember Ms Krispy Kreme. Haha.

I always preferred JenPot to the others.

I think Penis makes an explicit statement, considering.

Uh oh! Tier IVA fight coming up, because I INVENTED THAT TOO.

YOU BASTARD! NOT ONLY DID YOU NOT INVENT TIER IVA, YOU DIDN'T EVEN GET IT THE FIRST TIME I SAID IT BECAUSE IT WAS SO DAMN CLEVER! KEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

And you know, perhaps you were the 'cretinous poster' Janie was referring to.

I miss Tier Iva, actually. Remember when she won Charleston? That was stupid.

Oh goodie, another Tier IVA war! And this time, I started it.

Hurley's not a cretin; he knows I didn't mean him. I didn't realize you guys brought the Penis nickname over from your old "Mauresman" board, although if I had thought about it I would have figured it out. I guess almost everyone here is from that old board, Delphi or whatever it was called?

And yes, I agree, Caprifati is better than Fatriati.

And I'm glad I didn't see Fishin' Hat stinking up the joint yesterday.

I'm not.

Despite what people believe, I did not post about tennis anywhere until 2003. I would have sooner if there was anything on Elena Big Bird before I came along.

We had an EB cheering thread in Russian Roulette at wtaworld starting in Oct. 2001. Actually I think it started out as a "what's the matter with EB" thread, judging by the earliest posts -- we really should have kept that name, unfortunately!

I joined wtatard in about March 2003 and I'm sure there was already a lengthy Ask Leena Anything thread.

I didn't join here till much later because every time I looked it seemed dead, and I didn't recognise any names.

Ai-Maria is a great match so far. Winners galore. Great play. I'm very impressed with Maria's performance so far. I wonder how long she can keep this up.

Sugiyama's only remaining purpose is to make her opponents look better than they really are. She just keeps feeding them with plenty of puffballs and crap second serves to whack away, and should she find herself in the lead, she's sure to choke it away, with her opponent coming away looking like "a warrior".
