Tommy guns for Courier
25jan06
TOMMY Haas has unleashed an incredible spray at Channel 7 commentator and former World No. 1 Jim Courier.
Haas said Courier's glowing praise of Roger Federer almost made him sick at times.
The German made his unprovoked comments at the official press conference following his five-set loss to Federer in the early hours of yesterday morning.
Haas said while everybody was talking about Federer being maybe the greatest player ever, he still believed the Swiss superstar had to do a few things before achieving that tag.
"If you ask Jim Courier, I mean, that guy has his tongue up his ass I think, you know, the whole time when you actually listen to him commentating or listen to him talk about Roger Federer," Haas said.
"Sometimes makes me sick almost.
"I love Jim Courier, but it's unbelievable. Maybe in six years I'm going to shake Jim's hand and say, 'Listen, you're right'.
"Maybe this guy wins 15 grand slams. Who knows. This guy right now is pretty much the man to beat. If somebody can do it this week, great."
Courier told The Pulse that players, including himself, had been guilty of saying things at press conferences which they probably didn't mean.
"And that's about all I really want to say," he said.
"Tommy is a friend of mine."
Asked whether he was offended, Courier said: "Not offended at all. I've been there before."
And will he seek out Haas?
"As I said before, that's my last comment," he said.

Haas said Courier's glowing praise of Roger Federer almost made him sick at times. Dear Tommy, Come and watch a Tim Henman match with me on Eurosport with Simon Reed and Chris Bradnam. You will be healed. -- vaiva

I think it's a testimony to Roger's greatness that he can play so well despite having all those tongues up there.

Hingis isn't a night match, I guess? Neato! And why do they shut down Vodafone for the last few days of the tournament every year.

Because it's way too big for some crappy doubles matches.

I believe that for Mauresmo to be #1 she must title and Clijsters must lose to Hingis. Otherwise it will be Kim. Is this accurate?
Many thanks in advance,
Brin Yi

Yes, that's correct. Amelie has to win every match. Kim has to lose to Hingis. This isn't happening. And #1 is so pointless now anyway.

I dont like your face fat dave!

If Fat Dave beats Bagher, he's #3 in the world. Unless Kolya wins the entire tournament.
And will probably stay there for a while.

Hi. Do you think there is a slight chance that Seb will beat Kiefer. Please say yes.

I thought it was Svetlana.
I wish Martina was an evening match so I could go to bed now.

yes, grosjean could beat kiefer, in fact I think he will
but I am not sure I want him to win, because kiefer would challenge federer a LOT more than grosjean

I just hope Martina gets on court by 5pm, Aussie time. I'm dreading Kiefer-Seb will be a long, long match.
I only saw Seb play against Coria. He didn't really impress me in that match. But, on this court, I think he can run down lots of balls and give Kiefer a lot of trouble. I don't know.

Thanks all.
Yeah, it will be 3 hours at least. That's why I will go to sleep soon and check the result tomorrow.

I only got like three hours of sleep last night, so Marti better get her sweet ass on court early. Because I'm staying up for that, no matter what.

I told you not to stay up to watch Lindsay lose. Besides, it's a lot easier to DVR and watch in the morning. But, Marti will probably be playing 9-11pmish here. Which is tolerable.

I'll watch a few minutes of this.
I have to admit that Kiefer is in good shape right now, compared to the past 6 years when he was pretty plump. Just shows how badly he has wasted his best years, which is one of the reason why I hated him in the first place.
|
|

Post by shenaynay on Jan 24, 2006 19:12:07 GMT -5
Yes, he is in much better shape.
Although, he still creeps me out. Every time I watch Kiefer, I think he'd be a child molester and murderer if he didn't play tennis.

He is a nutter, no question about that.
No sane person would stick to the same annoying superstitions after years of unsuccess WHILE DOING THEM.
And, he's emotionally unstable. His oncourt behaviour varies between phlegm and irascibility.
He needs help.
