Cruel world but I'm with ya after that fker lost me money teasing me into thinking he had it after the first set..Lets go Donald!

MUHerd37 · 08-07-12, 12:42 AM

Would be awesome to see him break the record.

EaglesPhan36 · 08-07-12, 07:59 AM

If you read any of the stories from his match yesterday, I don't see how you can justify wasting 5 bucks on the guy. He pretty much says his confidence is shit. Saying that once he dropped the 2nd set yesterday, he pretty much expected to lose. He has also been changing racquets frequently. He is obviously desperate at this point. Funny thing is there is an easier fix than voodoo .... Hire a ******* coach and listen to them dickweed.

tevari · 08-07-12, 08:22 AM

He's been on virtually auto fade for me for about 6 months now. Don't really have any sympathy for him, I remember his interview after he beat Wawrinka at the US Open last year - the guy was cocky as fukk. Good to see him eating humble pie this entire season ...He really was never that talented either - his second serve is probably one of the worst on tour and his movement can be suspect at times as well. Whatever.

beefcake · 08-07-12, 08:48 AM

Yeah if he sets the record, he can blame his parents!

riffraff24 · 08-07-12, 09:44 AM

I still can't believe he lost that spread by a hook going 6-0 in the third. Douche

MUHerd37 · 08-07-12, 11:03 AM

He used to complain that the USTA didn't help him enough with training and shit. Can ya blame them!!!??.

Ive made close to 8 units fading his retarded ass. thats about the only use

beefcake · 08-12-12, 04:55 PM

Ok, I am really worried this week.Mr. Young has drawn a qualifier in his match in Cincy.He really needs to bear down and concentrate, and not to make sure to do anything stupid to endanger the streak,winning being first and foremost.

plankton43 · 08-12-12, 05:11 PM

Who does Donald play next?

gators0708 · 08-12-12, 07:54 PM

Jesse Levine, a real winnable match here for DY!!!

EaglesPhan36 · 08-12-12, 09:16 PM

LoL. Nothing is real winnable for this schmuck. Levine actually has some nice wins in qualis over players equal or better than Donald Young. If Young is favored, I will laugh hard.

Yea there is like no way DY can be the favorite... or else the world would be on Levine

beermankirk · 08-12-12, 09:42 PM

no line out yet, but 2nd match after the 11amET match, so we will assume its 1230pm/1pm ET

Donald Young vs. Jesse Levine....

ProbablyNotSeth · 08-12-12, 10:14 PM

He probably has made more money off of himself losing than he would have if he won....

ProbablyNotSeth · 08-12-12, 10:21 PM

I was doing a little digging and found this little tidbit about JL vs. DY

In 2001 he stunned Donald Young in the final of the U.S. Clay Court 14 Nationals at the Jimmy Evert Tennis Center in Fort Lauderdale.^[14]^[15] Levine had won the first set, lost the second, and found himself trailing 0–5 with Young serving for match point at 40–15. They were already bringing in the table for the trophy presentation, when Levine ran off an astonishing 23 consecutive points. He won 7–5 in the third.

23 straight points.....this guy is the greatest loser EVER

beermankirk · 08-12-12, 10:59 PM

beefcake · 08-13-12, 06:52 AM

REALLY SCARED.....A very winnable match...

EaglesPhan36 · 08-13-12, 02:02 PM

One step closer and I feel I need to say this again ...

Dear SBR bettors,

QUIT betting on Donald Young. There is no current cure for this disease, so please stopping throwing away your money.

tevari · 08-13-12, 02:03 PM

I don't know why or HOW anyone could bet on him. Like, really. I know it's easy to say this after he just lost but like....why?

beefcake · 08-13-12, 02:13 PM

17 baby! Next loss..Winston Salem open!

Snowball · 08-13-12, 02:16 PM

thought this might be it, don't regret the play, but won't touch
him again... his career is certainly in doubt at this point.
price of admission...
onward...

I've been hammering it home for a while now, I think most anyone betting on him at this point just wants to be on his side when/if he does break the streak so they can say I told you so. Otherwise it's like you're betting on every MLB game to end in a no hitter - thinking hey it will happen at some point and you will cash.

Article from ESPN about the streak.

Donald Young's losing streak getting old

Edit:Not getting old,I hope it goes on forever...

Originally Published: August 14, 2012

Leading by a set and serving at 1-1 in the second-set tiebreaker -- a pretty routine position for a professional tennis player. But when you haven't won a match in six months, nothing is routine.
So Donald Young, who up until then had been happy with the way he was serving, double-faulted. The next time, he had a second-serve point, he did it again. Young lost the tiebreaker and the match 3-6, 7-6, 6-0 to Jeremy Chardy in the first round of the Rogers Cup in Toronto, extending his losing streak to 16 matches.
[+] EnlargePhil Walter/Getty ImagesDonald Young has become accustomed to attracting negative attention over the years, and his losing streak doesn't help.

"When [you've] won hardly any matches, you feel really far away even if you're close," Young said afterward, admitting he had collapsed in the third set. "He was freer. It was one set all. Primarily it was mental, also, for sure."
His winless run hasn't gone unnoticed in the locker room. "Yeah, we're all aware of that one," Bernard Tomic said with a grimace later that day, having just snapped a seven-match losing streak of his own.
"You know, it's hard for him. When you start losing and getting down five, six matches, it becomes difficult to turn it around. You need some luck. You need a match to win to get back into the position you were six months ago. I think for him it's the opportunity that he had today. He was unlucky and lost in the third set, but I am sure he will play well. He loves the hard-court season."
Chardy, Young's conqueror, knew his opponent had been struggling, but was surprised to find out just how big the number had become. "Oh, 16 is a lot. I didn't know that," the Frenchman said. "I know he lost many match on first round, but not 16."
Young says he "would be lying'' if he said he didn't think about the streak, but insists he hasn't counted. "Honestly, I'm not keeping tally," he said. "People will say this is like the 10th or 11th one. I don't really want to know, and I haven't been reading anything online lately, because it doesn't help."
But the number has become large enough that he's also starting to hear the name Vince Spadea, who holds the Open-era record with 21 losses in a row. His streak finally ended in 2000 when he defeated Greg Rusedski in the first round of Wimbledon, prompting one British paper to declare "Rusedski falls to world's biggest loser." But Spadea bounced back, reaching a career-high ranking for No. 18 in 2005.
Young doesn't remember Spadea's ignominious streak, but he hopes he can put his own behind him with similar success. The 23-year-old American has becomes accustomed to attracting negative attention over the years. Ever since he turned pro in 2004 as a precocious junior, it's always been something -- the string of wild-card defeats when he first turned pro, his slow progress up the rankings, continuing to keep his parents as coaches, last year's Twitter fracas with the USTA -- and now this.
Showing his hard-earned experience, he was generally approachable and composed when speaking to reporters in Toronto about his latest loss. "You tell me. I don't know," he said, when asked how he could turn it around. "You keep playing, fighting, competing. I'm a good enough player, at some point I'm going to win."
One change Young hopes will help is going back to his old racket. "Just until last month I was playing with a bunch of different rackets. That didn't help. I think that was part of the reason," he said. "I was playing well last year, I switched from my racket to another. Now I'm back to it, but it takes a while to get back, get used to something."
But the longer this lasts, the longer the road back becomes. It was about a year ago that Young started to put together some good results, reaching the semifinals of the ATP event in Washington, D.C., and making the fourth round of the U.S. Open with a five-set win overStanislas Wawrinka along the way. With those results now starting to come off, his ranking will begin a steep slide if he doesn't start to win some matches. He is currently at No. 84 after reaching a career high of No. 38 earlier this year, and he could be out of the top 100 after the U.S. Open.
After losing in the first round of the Western & Southern Masters in Cincinnati, where he was one of the last players into the main draw, it's another week of finger-pointing and questions about how long it'll continue.
The bright side is that the bigger the fall, the bigger the comeback. If he can recover, this period will become a badge of honor. With any luck, he says, "I can laugh about it later this year."

Hey Donald, its not your fukking racket.Fire your goddam parents and hire Someone to whip your pussy ass into shape you whiny bitch..

beefcake · 08-18-12, 03:22 PM
