Who is triple F?

 

[Moxie]

Any word on why Delpo withdrew? Also, Hi!

Hey, Riotbeard! Long time....

 

[Moxie]

If Paire is throwing his racquet in the 2nd game, doesn't bode well for him.

Who is triple F?

Fabulous Fabio Fognini

 

[Moxie]

Sorry to hear that del Potro's left wrist is bothering him. This is not good news.

Fabulous Fabio Fognini

As opposed to Deliciamo Lopez! :whistle:

Fabulous Fabio Fognini

Interesting. In Italy, I hear that they call him Fabio Fogna Fognini, which boils down to the same thing.

Actually, not. "Fogna" is his nickname, which is kind of a slur. Like "sewer rat." Slightly less than "fabulous," but he embraces it.

 

[Moxie]

A bit messy, but Paire is tricky, and Rafa gets it done.

 

[Moxie]

I've been so confused by the rain today and distracted by work. Did I get a chance to note that Tiafoe beat Raonic...in 3?

That is true. Fogna is his nickname, which is a shortcut for 'sewer' in Italian (Fognatura). And his surname can be shortened the same way. It's a good play on words.

Anderson in a fight in the 3rd v. Donskoy...a guy who seems always vaguely around, but no one ever talks about. I guess this would be an upset.

 

[Moxie]

Oh, and Tsitsipas beat Thiem, but that one I picked.

 

[Murat B.]

FAA playing Medvedev. Another match in his career where if he lost nobody would blame him but would be awesome if he won. On his birthday. Same birthday as RF

Oh, right...HB, RF, and go, FAA!

 

[Moxie]

Stan out of challenges, I think, and acting like a jerk. 3-3 3rd set TB.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Oh, right...HB, RF, and go, FAA!

who is hb?

 

[Moxie]

who is hb?

Happy birthday, Roger Federer!

Happy birthday, Roger Federer!

Nice for Stan to win a couple but I have no realistic hope for him to make Canada great again.
