Simon looking quite dejected but appreciative of Fed’s wait. Jim Courier can do well in these post match interviews, but other times he asks silly questions. Fed’s funny about “what he was thinking”, lol Simon “badly prepared”. This is the 4th thread on Fed’s second round match, pre or post; is this a record!? ;)

EPIC! Man, I love Jim Courier, he always gives the best interviews on court and has some balls. Federer was really sweet, love the dimples.

p.s. Too bad for Gilles that this was a second round match. He is clearly playing so well, and who knows what he could’ve done in the draw had he not ran smack-dab into Roger.

True Jane. I’m quite gutted for Simon. He would have gone far.

Didn’t Courier say before the third round in a grand slam? If that’s the case then Roger didn’t understand the question. Great match by both players.

Courier should get HIS facts straight. “What were you thinking?” Well, it sure wasn’t “I think I’ll pull out a book and start reading.” Right, Mr. Courier? We want Mary Carillo back! PLEASE!

January 19th, 2011 at 9:16 pm

Yes, get Mary Carillo back, and sit Courier with Patrick !

Hilarious, but Jim was such an idiot at the end. He could not be more wrong.

January 20th, 2011 at 1:28 am

Jim always does the on-court interviews at the AO, and he looooves to talk with Rafa and Roger.

This time he went too far, though, I think — didn’t he change the question in the middle of the discussion?

(And wasn’t Roger’s answer to the original question correct? After all, he was there – he would know! LOL!)

Addition:
Wait for Courier to make a correction when they get back to the topic after Feds next win. If not, THEN Courier might be taken for a schmucksie..

Malisse better not spoil that party.

Btw. right and wrong, madmax, shame on you for correcting someone without checking the facts. You make the other person transpire as an airhead.

What Courier meant was the last time Federer lost before the 3rd round was 2003 French Open to Luis Horna. I’m surprised Federer didn’t remember it.

January 20th, 2011 at 6:22 pm

Crusader, yes that’s what he meant, but not what he said. Federer answered correctly.

Courier – the ultimate hardworking, but stupid tennis pro.

Courier asked when was the last time Fed lost in the third round. Don’t tell me what he tried to say, that’s not relevant.

For a long time, Courier was rumored to be gay. But given his lack of intelligence, it was probably gay guys asking if they could warm up their dicks in his mouth. Courier would be dumb enough to say “sure dude, no problem”.
