Sup, TL?
So today I played in a tennis tournament. I lost my first match (I'm still pissed about that: I won the first set), and I won the consolation round (it was against a 12 year old lol). But this blog isn't about me.
It's about my friend and a skinny piece of shit.
So my friend won his first match, and moves to the next round. The kid he's playing is this skinny piece of shit (he's the one seed for some reason), and is actually horrible. My friend rapes this kid in the first set, but here's where it gets interesting.
The little fuck starts doing stupid shit. Like making noises while my friend is serving. When my friend double faults, the little fuck yells "YES!!!". He yells "COME ON!" when my friend misses a shot. During changeovers, he's an annoying little fuck.
My friend loses the second set, and proceeds to lose the third as well, thereby losing the match.
I'm really pissed about this. My friend is a nice guy, well-mannered (the guy that says gl hf and doesn't rage after losses). The kid he was playing was simply white trash. A worthless little fuck. If my team ever plays him, I'm hitting him with a ball when he goes to net. This guy is basically deezer IRL.
I'm so pissed off right now. My friend should have won, and would have, had the other guy not been an annoying little prick. For those of you who think that my friend should have won anyways if he was better, keep in mind that it's really difficult to serve when your opponent is making lots of noise while doing so. Try to stay calm when a little fucker eggs you on when you double fault. You can't do it.
The kicker is that the dude running the tournament didn't see anything bad happen. It's not his fault though, he has a million things to do at once. He knows that that little fucker is annoying as hell, and a piece of trash, but he can't find a legal way to nail him for it. So too bad there. I'm enraged because a little shit could get away with what he did.

So your friend should have won but didn't? Yeah ok. If the kid can't get punished for making noises and distracting his opponent, it seems he played intelligently and won. Yeah, it may be extremely annoying, but he won, and your friend lost, seemed to have worked rather well.

I probably would of intentionally tried to nail him with the tennis ball like you said no one would notice anyway.
But i mean i would of caused a scene if he was annoying as hell yea someone might say the better player wins through all that kind of trash talk. Fuck it i'll cause a fucking scene with a guy 60lbs lighter than me, would i do anything? No but by causing a scene and not punching just walking up to him you could get a warning which means now the other refs will watch the game out of fear for you "attacking" the other player.

Agreed skinny guy is a total tool, but you got enough rage here to suggest you deal some BM out as well. Maybe try to be more like your friend than the skinny white guy ^^ Hope this nice vent cooled you down a bit.
|
tennis, much like starcraft, does tend to bring out the bm of skinny little white kids across america
|
Sounds like his opponent just got in your friend's mind. Sounds like those SC2 threads that are like "I was better than this guy but still lost"
|
Skinny white kid got his meta-game on.
|
PanN is a troll and has nothing nice to say apparently from his post history. Don't listen to him, hes angry about something and he likes to take it out on TL.net
|
Aren't there officials there to watch the match? Why didn't they say or do anything? Seems to me like the guy running the tourney could have spoken to the referees for their story.
Sucks though. GL.
|
That sucks. Skinny kid should have been warned by an official.
|
Your friend "should have won but didn't" is a pretty silly statement to make.

Its ok just be glad its not soccer because then you have 11 little white trash kids AND their mothers annoying you until you punch one the face and get a red. Not that I ever did something like that haha
|
go up to him and punch him in the face
|
One reason why I'm glad to have chosen racquetball over tennis. I played collegiate racquetball and faced off with some people you've described. The awesome part about racquetball and dealing with that is it makes for pegging someone with either a nice power shot or the racquet itself much easier and but also, more common. That said, your friend just needs to get a better mental game. There will always be poor sports like that everywhere but you can't let it bring your game down. Easier said than done though.
|
Just because he is not well mannered dosen't mean he should lose the game --;

I found out that the ultimate card you can play in a verbal banter is the death card. You need to threaten to kill them.
Next time someone is saying annoying shit, provoking you or whatever (works in SC2 too) just walk up to them, look them in the eye and say firmly:
" I will crush you"
It can mean you will beat them in the game. It can mean you will hurt them phisically. It can mean you will kill them. You won't, but the thought will cross their mind and they will shut up.
I learned it from how animals work. They're not afraid to kill. You don't have to be prepared to kill, but remind the guy what the ultimate stake is.
I remember this one occasion when "I will crush you" stopped an annoying BMer who tried to drag me into the stupid insulting cycle. He started typing smiley faces and being friendly.

I would punch him so fucking hard.
|
Your friend got meta gamed it seems.
|
Skinny piece of shit got his metagame going. Maybe your friend is better at the tecnical aspect of the match but at the end of the day the skinny white shit (love the appelation btw) is better at the game as a whole.
