Wimbledone 2009 Boys Semi Final Bernard Tomic - Andrey Kuznetsov

[telmolicious]

The funny thing is that hewitt was ranked 45 at the time and ferrero 90 ... things got personal...

[TheRoserver]

is he related to Svetulana Kutsnetsova?

[Ramonjka]

@TheRoserver nope. Kuznetsov/Kuznetsova is a very popular family name in Russia)

[simobgbgbg]

@Ramonjka In soviet russia there aren't famity names! The names are decided by KGB!

[ethongmurr]

These dudes just argue with the ump cuz they think its cool

[anismessi]

tomic vs nadal tomorrow

fuck tomic

[mmeyer1]

something about Tomic's face makes me want to punch it...

[kousseye155]

@mmeyer1 the fact that his face immediately reminds you of him handing nadal his own ass

[L001372]

@mmeyer1 I imagine if your face was out there... people would feel the same

[boppzz]

great match point!

[VerdascoFan]

Canada > Australia > Tomic

My intelligence > your stupidity and complete ignorance > Tomic

My tennis skill, ability, talent, athleticism > your lack of all those things > Tomic.

I actually can't believe you like Tomic man. Even though he wasn't born in your country he is representing it. He and his father are not making Australia look good. They are elitist, ignorant douches, who are retarded and think Tomic is the GOAT. Also, some other player isn't making look great either..Greg Jones maybe

[maddcow12]

@VerdascoFan lol i actually like that about Tomic. I dont give a shit whether or not he's an assholes, I rank tennis players on their tennis abilities. Tomic seems like the type that can shrug off bad crowds or bad nerves, because he is overconfident. That's a good thing to me. if he ends up improving and becoming a top player, sure I'll definitely root for him. I like his craftiness

[VerdascoFan]

@maddcow12 His tennis ability isn't great. 

[member5738]

@VerdascoFan

He just beat Soderling in straight sets, what do you know? LOL

[VerdascoFan]

@member5738 So? Soderling was exhausted man. And he'll have some pretty big wins before people figure out his game and pushing tactics. But don't expect him to stick around.

[member5738]

@VerdascoFan

Keep the mumbo jumbo to yourself, please. You sound like a local tennis coach who never played on a decent level himself. Soderling had plenty of time to recover and this was only the third round. Tomic also beat Davydenko in straight sets. Not to mention the fact, he's only 18 years-old. What an idiot...

[VerdascoFan]

@member5738 Davydenko is hardly a factor anymore lol. What with all the injuries hes barely played recenty; and certainly not at the level he was playing at even around 1 1/2 yrs ago. Sodering didnt have that much time to recover He came from 2 sets down against Hewit; a guy who you have to battle to win against. Tomic only played 3 sets on day 4 and 2 quick 1 on day 5. So he was not only better rested, having played his match over 2 days he was also not as cold going in2 the match.

[VerdascoFan]

@member5738 lol local coach who never played on a decent level? Projecting much there buddy? ;) lol. Tomic will never be a factor. Many highly respected and very good coaches think he's a pusher who won't go anywhere. Roger Rasheed for instance, ever heard of him? ;) So what if he's only 18? People have done more amzing things than that in tennis at/b4 that age? And let's not forget prominence as a junior means relatively NOTHING in the pros..Bogomolov jr, Young, and many others have proven this

[member5738]

@VerdascoFan

Don't go on the defensive lol.. If you must know I'm not a tennis coach, I'm in the top 10 of the Netherlands and I regurarly spar with Robin Haase when he's home. Did you ever even play tennis? First of all, Roger Rasheed is not a highly respected coach. If anything, he fucked up Hewitt's carreer. Secondly, that's the only coach you named. If there are so many, how about you give me ten names of coaches who think the same as you? Loser.

[VerdascoFan]

@member5738 You obviosuly know nothing about tennis. I seriously doubt you were ever in the top 10 in anything unless were talking top 10 delusional people on youtube. Roger Rasheed is 1 of the top coaches out there. He coached Hewitt for 4 yrs. During that period Hewitt made some slam finals and did quite well actually. He played some of his best clay court tennis under Rasheed. Speaking of Hewitt he has made some remarks about Tomic that infer he doesnt believe tomic will do 2 well in the pros

[telmolicious]

@VerdascoFanwell ''Then we told Juan Carlos what had happened and his coach said that if a leading player in Spain asked a junior to practise and the junior said no, that he would never get to hit with a senior player again, they would make sure he had all his funding and support from the national federation cut and that he would be, in the coach's words, 'strung up from a tree by his balls'.''

[telmolicious]

@telmolicious We were pretty dumbfounded. Lleyton just could not believe it, and the more he thought about it the angrier he got about it.''

Salting the wound was a subsequent conversation with Spain's Juan Carlos Ferrero at courtside. ''Ivan asked if he was available to practise at one o'clock and Juan Carlos said, 'No, no, I've got a practice partner, but that young Australian kid Tomic, he just came and asked me to hit, why don't you ask him?','' Drysdale said.

[telmolicious]

@telmolicious Drysdale said, ''so Ivan went over to Bernard's trainer at the time, Rudy [Sopko] and said 'Is Bernard here to hit?'.Rudy knew nothing of it but said 'Look, Bernard's looking for a practice partner and I think Bernard would like to do it', but then the agent came in and said, 'No, he's not hitting with Lleyton, Lleyton's not good enough'.

''They were his words: 'Lleyton's not good enough' and we just about dropped on the spot.

[telmolicious]

@telmolicious As Team Hewitt tells it, several phone calls were made to Tomic, his father and an IMG agent on the Saturday evening, asking if Tomic would hit at 1pm the following day.

There was no response, but the 16-year-old was present when Hewitt arrived to practise, his physiotherapist Ivan Gutierrez making the approach to the Tomic entourage.

''We turned up and saw the Tomics around and we thought, 'Oh, maybe they got our message, and they were there to hit with Lleyton',''

[telmolicious]

@telmolicious Hewitt is biased, furious, dislikes tomic so he is not a reliable source:

[VerdascoFan]

@telmolicious lol oh right. i forgot that after tomic totally miffed HEWITT he went and asked Ferrero to practise. Hewitt saw Ferrero after Tomic told him Tomic was "too good for him" and asked him to hit. ferrero said he couldnt but that Tomic was looking for someone to hit with...lol what a little wanking bastard.

[VerdascoFan]

@member5738 many players think hes not going anywhere. Trust me, in a few yrs hell be forgotten. lol u hit with haase? suuuuuure. that must mean im andre agassi. lol. lol im not a coach. im not going 2 tell u my name but lets just say im pretty sure i could beat you. handily.

[maddcow12]

@VerdascoFan Are you still in that line of thought despite recent events? He 18 years old, 158 in the world, and he just beat Davydenko, Soderling, Malisse, and took a set off djokovic. So yes, I think he's talented, like I said all along. And you're retarded if you still say otherwise. Haha looking at your previous comment, your stupidity is hilarious.

[AllGenreMusic]

I don't know how Tomic manages to actually be somewhat successful on the men's tour. Still baffles me. I mean I guess other players on the pro tour might find him annoying or uncomfortable to play.

But the most disappointing aspect of his game is that he is 6'4" yet his serves are... Well, they don't need explanation. Yes, he is young and only 18, but I mean other top ATP players that are of his height were bombing serves long before joining the men's tour.

[brynjones11]

@AllGenreMusic did you happen to see him against the best player in the world. he was serving aces around 200 kph

[Ralzaly]

Lol i could beat both these guys.

[stupidity217]

nice 44-shot rally at match point :)

[VerdascoFan]

Tomic is NOT going anywhere. watch how he plays....then watch the pros. He will and is getting anihilated in the pros. You just CANNOT win at the high a level by pushing like that.

[TheJDorian]

@VerdascoFan fail he beat djokovic in an exhibition match and nearly beat marin cilic in the 2nd round of the aus open in 5 sets. fail. that is all

[VerdascoFan]

@TheJDorian 1. .....Exhibition match....LOL. Everyone knows Djokovic didn't try at all in that match ahahahha wow. 2. Cilic was exhausted by Wimby...how so u think he was in the US Open? lol....don't try to tell me he's going anywhere past 350. he wont.

[VerdascoFan]

@TheJDorian ........ Oh u said Aussie? lol...who cares. Cilic made the semis last yr. How's Tomic done lately.....Tomic sucks penis for a living like your mother. End of story.

[TheJDorian]

@VerdascoFan Age - 16, Country - Canada = gtfo

[m0squit0fac3]

if that guy sliced the ball one more time..I was going to kill him!

[bamibalboy]

@m0squit0fac3 then do not watch gonzalez

[sullmister]

that last point was mental.

[bluenigma]

Wow I am loving kuznetsov's backhand

[laperdepaperhond312]

the last rally was great

[heartcrusher237]

i just found out i have the same birthday as tomic- october 21!

[VerdascoFan]

@heartcrusher237 Good for you... ;)

[iwatatakuya]

man, the last rally was 45 strokes. Insane!

[MadBanana39167]

3:41

THE COMMenTATOR SAYS FUCK YOU ROFL

[hungsiuming]

just a bit too smart, not sure his way of play will work or not..

[tennisproderek]

lol his last name is kunestov

thats 1 letter from that girl pro

[roland8886]

That's the way they do it in Russia. If he was a girl, they would automatically put an "a" at the end of the name to denote the gender, similar to Mr. and Mrs./Miss in English. The men don't have the "a", just the root name. This is why Marat Safin's sister has the last name Safina and not Safin.

It's just the way the language works in their culture.

[mosesgtfly]

@tennisproderek yeah kunestova

[aust672]

bernard tomic is a smartass, cocky faggot.. and he doesn't look very australian to me

[Fludeyy]

@aust672

fuck off man.. im aussie and ive been told i look just like him. just that my mum is from croatian background

[aust672]

well hes still a cocky asshole, nothin against u aye we get all different looking people these days that have diferent backgrounds so yea. i dont know why i said that in my comment, so yea

[farang82]

is your name leyton hewwit?

[aust672]

is your name Cunt?

[su79er]

@aust672

Doh...'cause a true Australian is an Aborigine! Einstein!!!!

[AlphaDraconis7]

i'd prefer if tomic became good, won some grand slams, was world no.1...and then was arrogant...instead of the other way round...

he seems naturally a confident, somewhat cocky person..he thinks he's going to be brilliant before he actually has..

there are players just as good as him in the juniors..like bhambri, dimitrov, kuznetsov etc..

i dont think the attitude he has is going to do him any favours..especially when he gets to 20, 21, 22 when Australia will be expecting great things..

[AllezBenfica]

yeahh sorry mate do you remember a bloke called lleyton hewwit? yeah well he was arrogant as fuck but yeahh he was number 1 for 80 weeks. this guy is fucking 17. give him a break jackass. unless you can play better then him. then go for it.

[timmyscano]

yeah he was arrogant after he became number 1. tomic is 300. you fucktard

[spacecowboy95]

@timmyscano arrogant after he became number 1? lol you're fucking stupid dude.

[timmyscano]

@spacecowboy95. shutup u stupid cunt. go suck tomic;s cheesy penis.

[AllezBenfica]

yeah i reckon tomic is amazing so fuck all of you. played mad against cillic in the open so how the fuck can you say that. a seventeen year old wildcard almost embarressed the 13th seed at the open. oh yeah tomic is shit aye. shitcunts

[timmyscano]

i had your mothers cunts for breakfast while she was reading about tomic's latest piece of homosexuality. 'I would have won if i played earlier in the day' what a fucking gimp. i bet you are related to him or something. you cunt,.

[vosharap]

Really he said that after he lost to Cilic?

[FlavioBijos]

dimitrov beat both very easy tomic only know how to make a slice

[timmyscano]

bernard tomic is a faggot. that is all.

[MrFuckboob]

@timmyscano i agree, from what he has shown of himself to the public he stinks of arrogance and as for on the court has no real stand out abilities, all in all he is heading for a dead end on and off the court

[stevehwan]

i think nadal can beat all these guys

[jzrnsk]

@stevehwan

duh

[davidsmavid]

fukin lay off tomic hes still a pup

[DarthMuse]

im from australia and i hate bernard tomic hes a joke he acts like hes the best australian tennis player Lleyton Hewitt would own him ez

[muziklover11]

he jst beat djokovic

[DarthMuse]

bernard tomic sucks it was only a practice match

[therobz98]

Tomic's backhand is UGLY.

[r0baa]

I think grigor dimitrov would beat both these guys

[fatcat69696]

he would beat them pretty bad

[telmolicious]

@r0baa well he is 2 years older

[TheAlexx27]

tomic doesnt even have a serve.

[shadowsong16]

Do the commentators ever shut up?

[huangyishi]

45 rally point at the end.

[buzzybee286]

Did you actually count that?

[bankaimaniac]

[jtag8907]

[Hamiltoncheater]

[cys12141]
