| x.doublea |
It has always been one of the top tournaments of the year....they just lack the funding. | ||

|
||
| shampoo192 |

|
||
| leftys_rock |
lets hope the new haircut brings a new era for him......hes in a bit of a hole right now....... | ||
| shampoo192 |
as implied in patricia's thesis lol
i hope he gets better hes too cute to lose 
|
||
| leftys_rock |
that was actually a pretty good topic to write on.........how andy roddick isnt playing good........what was her full idea?? | ||
| shampoo192 |
yup i think cuz she loveeesss andy roddick | ||
| leftys_rock |
oh yeah, she has a poster in her room.....shes kind of mad that hes losing....
|
||
| Davia |
I like him with more hair my self.
|
||
| leftys_rock |
i actually think he looks better without the hair......but thats just my opinion......
|
||
| shampoo192 |
really??? he looks GREAT either way... besides it shouldn't affect is playing any worse 
|
||
| leftys_rock |
of course not.....but lets see if he can make a comeback with the new look.... ......thats what blake did when he shaved his dreadlocks off....
|
||
| shampoo192 |
dreadlocks???
OMG WHAT A FASHION NO-NO anways lets hope he gets a new start |
||
| leftys_rock |
and its what agassi did when he shaved his mane of hair off.... .........but of course, i would love to see a-rod do better.......
|
||
| x.doublea |
Agassi shaved his major mane off... and won the Australian Open. | ||
| leftys_rock |
maybe roddick is taking a page out of andres book....
|
||
| x.doublea |
Unfortunately, he did that last year and this year, and it hasn't been working. | ||
| leftys_rock |
yes, i guess.....hes gonna give it one more go.... | ||
| x.doublea |
Maybe he should try fixing his game rather than shaving his head.... | ||
| leftys_rock |
yes, the shaved head should come with the new game....
|
||
| Davia |
may be the shaved head will chang him like it did to Agassi wen he was yong. | ||
| leftys_rock |
thats what i was saying......but unfortunately, i dont know if he has changed his game....he cant just rely on his hair..... | ||
| Davia |
wat woold change his game comes from wats under his hair. HIS BRAIN
|
||
| leftys_rock |
he doesnt use that very much when hes playing......he needs to put mind into his playing...... | ||
| Davia |
RAW Talant NO Brains not a good combenation. | ||
| leftys_rock |
hopefully the new hair gives him a new aspect on tennis which involves his mind.... | ||
| shampoo192 |
it should help a little right???
less insulation from using his mind....
|
||
| leftys_rock |
ill check the draw and see who he plays tomorrow.... | ||
| x.doublea |
I don't think he's playing tomorrow. | ||
| leftys_rock |

| Davia |
