I like to think she saw the camera approaching her and quickly hid the three empty bottles she previously polished off
Haha! I think she's not the only one that's hit the bottle given all the mad ranting going on.

Not realy - murray is exhausted because he's nutritionally NOT GOOD ENOUGH ! Murray couldn't dispatch nikishouri like Novak did , why ? Because Murray is just not that great , is it realy worth winning the Eastbourne cup for his legacy ? NO ! But keeping fit and aiming for grand slams should be , but he's more incline to hoover up points in tin pot tournaments avoiding real class players just so he can become a plastic no 1 for a moment - good for him , but were does he rank in tennis history compared to others ? Nowhere , that's his legacy - if Murray realy thought he was any good he would stay fit and concentrate on the slams alone , but he knows he's not , and that's the truth , he's just not that good you lot are like the BBC commentators you put him up there on the most false pretence ! Watch him loose tommorow easily and you lot will say ohh he was close or if he had a day off he would of won ! False pretence
I just love posts like this!

Trying to decipher the root cause for the intense dislike of someone they dont know, amidst all the ranting, is fascinating.

We all have favourites etc but this attitude is intriguing - has Murray beaten his favourite perhaps? Or Murray being Scottish seems to be a contributory factor in some of his posts so is it nationalistic?

I just hope none of the Remainers from the Politics thread spot these posts - they confirm every one of their (not very flattering) stereotypes of your average Brexiter.

Anyway, as far as tonight is concerned - we shall just have to Waite and see

appledash is like one of those rabid posters you get on dedicated sports forums. Endless emoticons, wild exaggerated attacks on players, joyous spewing praise towards a player he likes, etc.

I wonder if he realises how childish he comes across?
Or else it's just shortiefluff with a newer, sassier persona

He had a hair transplant. It was posted on FB this week and on here a few days ago.

It's ok we have been prepped for it. Not a good look though, I hope it looks better soon or just shave it all off Agassi style.

Didn't know it was posted, haven't been keeping up.
I was just reading about the transplant. Thought he's gone mad with the sheers.

Well if it works it may be better. Can't believe how thick it was when he was younger.

Don't know if it will work though, don't they have to take meds to keep it from falling out?

I presume that's not the finished product though? That big bald patch at the back will be covered up right?

Not if you've had a transplant. Meds are only taken to stop existing hair from falling out.

Right. That's where the donated hair follicles were taken. It will grow back.

Yep its me in disguise.😏 I'm nowhere near as irrational in my hatred of Murray. Don't compare us. I'm no fan of him by any means and I pray for a Novak win today but I'd never go crazy like appledash. Come on can you really compare us.

No. You don't take meds to make sure. Meds are only to stop exiting hairs from falling out. People do take them after a transplant but that's just to stop shock loss of hair after the procedure. It doesn't affect the transplanted hairs.

Yeah, that should come back.

If it's true he has had it done, I wonder if he will start to wear a hat now, as your supposed to keep it out of direct sunlight for a good while I think, for it to take well.

10 days. He shouldn't really be practicing either as you are supposed to refrain from exercise for about a month.

I saw a thread in General Discussion about how Digital Spy is downsizing and they spoke of the possibility of the forums being closed down. Where'd we all go if it did? Tennis Forum?

I'm sure he will be thinking this when he is being inducted into the hall of fame and getting his knighthood.
Why would he be knighted ? The idiot voted to LEAVE the UK , he does not want to be a Brit he's firmly voted the Scottish yes to leave , so he's a foreigner , why would a foreigner be knighted by OUR QUEEN ?

In your dreams Andy is going to be deep fried like a mars bar i wouldn't be suprised if Murray pulls out to save himself the embracement , because he's gonna be mugged off on national TV - he hasn't realy faced a top form Novak and tommorow he's going to come up realy realy realy short - he's going to look like the worse world no 1 in history of tennis / also the shortest no 1 in tennis history , I can't Waite to see him deep fried on prime time TV - if he bails out with fake injury tommorow then he will not loose face BUT if he takes to the court , he's gonna look like a two bit chump , I can't Waite
"wait" old chap "wait". And "really".

A few others to concentrate on too before you call others chumps.

It's nice to know all forums get their share of fools.

He is not the shortest number 1 in history. Pat Rafter was number 1 for 1 week and Carlos Moya was number 1 for 2 weeks. Get your facts straight.

The mods posted in the soap section apparently that there's no plans to shut the forums. It's staff cutbacks that cover all the Buzzfeed-esque main site content. This thread today is kind of like a TF teaser.

They have been told this numerous times, I wouldn't waste your energy. Apparently Andy is a foreigner who can't get knighted as well.

I've seen/heard doctors advise for a few months out of direct sunlight, especially in very hot weather, but a caution to avoid it for prolonged periods anyway going forwards.

Sunlight isn't good for the scalp and hair as it is, I try to keep my hair out of the sun as much as possible to prevent damage after an episode of hair loss after illness and was advised to cover my head if out in direct sunlight.
