All that needs to be said...... they should not be allowed to play competitive tennis or be allowed to bet on.......Now I understand why everyone on here stays away from them......

[O]

Serving for the set and he Benne double faults to lose the set. Fck you french --

[necro]

wtf was bennetau doing when serving for set and than 2 consecutive double faults and scrub from some slovakia won next sp

wtf??

[Bumdeal]

Got out of car with Benny up 7-6 on serve. Get into house and see 9-7 Rola wins. Had to refresh my screen a few times thinking the site was on the fritz. Can't make this shit up.

[paco]

Loses his break up also right back

[Bumdeal]

This is unreal. He's going to drop another break while serving for the set.

[Bumdeal]

Opens set with a break, loses it immediately. This is maddening.

Just like weak ass klizan

[Bumdeal]

Never again. Ben is going on the no fly list

[JohnnyRudeboy]

Up 5-4 and serving for the match, now naturally down 6-5 and playing to force another tiebreak, after losing the first one

[Bumdeal]

I don't even want to know how many times he's been serving for a set and blew it

[Simon Gruber]

Rola is only in this bc he went to OSU

[sluggy1616]

Stephanie Robert is the only french dude I trust. He only loses to players close to his level or players that are much better. Maybe his girlie first name and the ridicule he must have endured as a kid has pushed him to be better than the average(which is poor compared to other countries) french dude

[Simon Gruber]

All you need to do is take a look at the point by point for game 2 of the 2nd set in Paire Johnson.

wtf??

He is from Slovenia

[Cappinpicks]

simon coming back he is the only decent french player

[fitguy67]

avoid all the french dicks (except simon)

for some reason, the worst of the biggest-choker french pussies have surnames starting with "M"

the french broads (caroline garcia and alize cornet) have more testosterone (aka. tenacity) than all the guys...Simon seeming to be the only exception...plays to the last drop like tennis players should...meaning you have to beat him...he doesn't beat himself like ERV did yesterday and Benny did today...(I think Simon has some rare anti-French gene...or his mother secretly bonked a Spaniard)

compare French players to Spanish players (roughly the same number in the top 100...BUT the Spanish have a much higher average ranking)...it's in the blood...and has it's main effect "between the ears"

[EaglesPhan36]

Are you guys serious with trusting Simon? He's as big a mug in the past few seasons as any other Frog.

[fitguy67]

update: so carried away was i from my above post that i put a splash on simon at +1400 at start of that epic 8th game (which he lost=failed to get the break he needs...BUT in no way choked up)...then he holds to love...

he is the only frenchMAN that has what i call "grit" (the two top French broads are ok in that department...Cornet is nutty as a fruitcake but will absolutely not fold like most of the guys...Garcia will be top five down the road...has the skills AND the composure needed)

____________

by the way, i agree with an earlier poster that Stephane (no "i" as far as i know) Robert is another non-folding exception to the french norm...and he looks like a biker...how can you not like that

[matt1216]

Fitguy... Garcia folds more often than laundry... Watch her last match vs kerber for example... Fck I hate all the french

Just motivated because he was playing Nole, Simon has his many moments of not caring.

[jtoler]

Paire just tweeted hehe. Un NON match à tous les niveaux... #mental#tennis ... Il faut aller de l'avant et y croire..

[w@lt]

The French Blow sounds like a porn.

you're probably right...an interesting thing is to line up all the spaniards and all the frenchmen...there are about equal numbers in the top 50/100/wherever you wanna draw the line...but the spanish have
1. higher rankings on average and, most importantly from the point of view of this thread...
2. a far less painful impact on your memory of "the number of times ___ has fukked me"

hard to think of a hi-ranked Spaniard with a history of choking...look at RBA...always plays "above his head" and "with all his heart"...they're all wired like Ferrer that way...to never throw in the towel...varying levels of talent with the Spaniards but the tenacity meter is always on max (and in the case of Nadal that max setting is the most full-blown case of OCD a non-psychologist is likely to encounter)...the Spaniards train themselves in ways to push normal tendencies toward "self sabotage" (aka. "choking") into the background

conversely it is extremely EASY to rattle off names of hi-ranking Frenchmen who are serial chokers...whose "self" sabotage sabotages bets

(seems to me that ALMOST ALL the top players notorious for choking/throwing are French...or Italian--we don't notice the dagos as much as the frogs cuz they're simply not as prevalent in the top 100 but Fognini is right up there with Monfils on bettor's most-hated lists...while the similarly-ranked Spaniard RBA seldom is mentioned along these lines...a tale of three nationalities and tennis-IQ/composure)

he should have rolled murray in feb and had nadal on the ropes on clay a couple months ago... guy was top 20 last year just had injuries this year

Lopez, Robredo, Fognini, Verdasco, Andujar, Garcia-Lopez, Almagro.

Choke on 'dat.

My brother always told me the French are lazy and pathetic in wars. Laid back very casual people who dont shower everyday.
