The Strange Saga of Monique and the Donald

[bottle]

birdbrain. Delusional. Unconnected to real world. Thinks Obama was born in Kenya, not in Hawaii. And thinks people should constantly obsess about shit like this instead of Obama's drones and American exceptionalism and hypocrisy such as our precipitated, foolish wars and tortures and occupations around the world and then get all huffy about some little Putinish ploy which he will soon retract which the western world will then consider its personal victory. I do think that Gary Kasparov, however, a guy who knows something about logic, is quite right when he says that Putin is a lousy chess player since he doesn't play by the rules. Compared to Obama, Putin and Kasparov, however, the thin-catvomit-haired birther-brain along with McCain, Graham, Cruz, Walker, Issa, Priebus, Ryan, Snyder, Palin, Guliani, Ingram, Limbaugh, Hannity, Beck, O'Reilly and far too many others to mention are too incapacitated for public service or any work force and belong in mental institutions paid for out of their trust funds.

Birther-brain?

for the birther-brain Donald Trump

What does that mean?

Father got stomach cancer, she got injured, and had no mental toughness for the game. Tennis is not about athletic talent, hand eye/reaction speed alone. Mental toughness, (talk to Monica Seles after suing the german tennis federation after Gunther Parche spent one night in jail for stabbing her, ) the ability to see the match as if a spectator would, and keep track of how your opponent is winning points, and then take that away from him, your own progress in a match, how you are winning points, and exaggerate those, is more important than athletic skill. Stamina, will power, intelligence, memory, the ability to adapt instantly, have nothing to do with speed and strength. Pushers win on moving the ball around and keeping it going longer. Blasters win on over powering their opponents. All courters win on mixing up net attacks with grinding. Big servers win on setting up short forehands. Baseline experts win on the short angle topspin shots, setting up flat down the line shots. In the end, if you can't run and cover, you can't win against even a crappy pusher. And if you don't have mental toughness, you will gain 30lbs after being back stabbed and never be the same again.

Character matters in tennis. Every bit of adulation in this first-part article for the birther-brain Donald Trump, no matter from whom, is therefore the kiss of death.

"Hop"

Interesting comments from "Jim Pierce".

I am quite familiar with all the locations he talks about. I do know Cesar the maintenance guy at Woodfield. Interesting.

Although it's all internet stuff and tough to validate the legitimacy of the actual writer...I can't disagree with him on Mr. Harry Hopman. Great aussie coach. As a saddlebrook coach for a little while, there was something special in the air at those courts.

Growing up in South Florida you always hear about the latest "Can't miss Academy Kid". It happens all the time. And to the coaches credit, you normally hear about them after the media exposure s they carve out a legitimate career for themselves. Monique Viele was no doubt pushed into the tennis fans lap with numerous articles and a front cover on Florida Tennis Magazine. She had the talent, the looks, she could sing, dance, act, model. Truly, the total marketing/promotion package. A quadruple threat. She was more dimensional than Kournikova/Sharapova and she was confident!

But then...

I'm well aware of Monique's story and what happened at the end. I won't give anything away as I encourage all subscriber's to please wait for part 2 in next month's issue as this story unfolds...
