Let’s talk tennis-pool

December 25th, 2009 • off-topic

I’m sure, by now, everyone’s already bored of eating so much turkey, so let’s have a bit of old-fashioned computer/tennis fun, shall we?

Tennis-Pool, for those that don’t know, is a fantasy tennis game. You pick 10 players for the ATP and 10 for the WTA. You’ll get points for how far they go in the tournaments. Also, each week you can trade 3 players on each tour. For the full rules, you should check out the website.

Am I getting paid for posting this here? No, not at all but if you work for tennis-pool and would like to send me a Christmas bonus, feel free to e-mail me. Why am I posting this here then? It’s fun. I’ve been playing tennis-pool for three years or so and I’ve never manage to complete a full season. I always end up being mad at the stupid game or forgetting to make my trades. Either way, I fail. But, honestly, when you get it right, it’s awesome. I was number one during Wimbledon in the WTA and it managed to give me quite a few opportunities to gloat at my fellow tennis geeks. LOOK AT ME, I’M A GRASS XXXXPEEERRRRT — haha, not.

My username this year will be 2 Sexy 4 My Headband and I’ll be a member of the Fierce Tennis club. I recommend you all to join the club and comment here in the future telling me how you’re the one that should be the tennis blogger because my results obviously say I know nothing about tennis. It will be EPIC, you guys.

Below is my initial team just so you guys can tell how SRS I’m am regarding this. It will probably change once the draws for the first week tourneys come out though.

ELENA VESNINA WILL WIN AUCKLAND. MARK MY WORDS! Ahem.

Feel free to talk me out of getting Chaky or something. I’m sure all I need is a little push.

    This actually looks really fun–I just made one and joined your club ;) (I’m ‘Let Fault Fault’).

    Definitely giving you props on the Vesnina, URad, Zvonareva, and the Belgians (and Davy, Soddy, Isner) for the guys.

    I’m way too stoked for the actual tennis season to start!

Fierce Tennis, you say?

Question: What is this awesome piece of the interwebs?

Answer: I have tried and failed several times to keep blogs up. Why? Because I don’t like doing serious journalism unless there’s money showing up in my bank account — and there wasn’t. This blog will have no interest in being impartial or, you know, actually talking about the sport (ok, maybe from time to time). There are tons of other blogs (and news websites) that do this job pretty well already. Here we will discuss the shallow part: the outfits, the gossip, the outrages and who Fernando Verdasco is currently dating.
