You may have solid arguments for annoying and obnoxious, but calling them fat and disgusting is a little ridiculous.

“My summer was filled with internships, why weren’t theirs? Look at me”. Hm, funny, cause head of the Samurai #2, the one who goes to a small dumb school on the east coast known as Cornell, is actually interning for Querrey as we speak, has been the whole summer and is so ahead of credits that he is taking the fall semester off to extend the internship.

And speaking of which, it’s funny David that you try to tout your superiority over these guys, how you went to UCLA and received internships (congrats!!!), yet you follow up that sentence with “…know much more about tennis then these clowns.” Wow David, UCLA must have really slipped up when forgetting to teach you that the word “then” is used to indicate an occurrence in reference to a point in time, not when comparing two things. The word “than” would be used in that case. But I’m sure that internship worked out really well for you!

I also don’t quite understand why you people, who state numerous times that you were at the match, ridicule the Samurai for being there, furthermore stating that they should have “something better to do”. As if somehow attending the LA Open is an activity one would do when bored. You guys were there, too, just in case you’d forgotten that midway through your stream of incoherent (and borderline retarded) thoughts.

And lastly, at the end of the day you are all just on a website pounding out your frustrations to a bunch of people whose minds you won’t change. Just like you won’t change mine, I won’t ever be able to change yours. You act like you guys have some high level of importance, yet all you’ve proven you do is spend your days with your eyes glued to a computer screen venting about a group of teenagers who are more than likely out doing their summer jobs as we speak. Maybe they took a day off work to watch their good friend play competitive tennis at a big name tournament while he was in the area? Just like you all would likely take a day off work to, you know, spend your time brainstorming new derogatory words to call the Samurai on your internet blog, in hopes that one day these “clowns, punks, frat boys, drunkards, racists, etc” (none of which they actually are) will decide that reading posts on the internet is what they should do with their time and be traumatized by your mildly offensive, and not at all childish, insults. I guess all you guys are really hoping for is that they too will throw away their lives one day and dedicate it to fixing the world of Tennis, one super-meaningful blog post at a time. Maybe if those darned Samurai didn’t spend so much time attending professional tennis matches and traveling the country to see their favorite player (and good friend) play, and instead spent all that time sitting on a website waiting for someone to disagree with them, and then poorly attempting to rip whatever they say apart (at 7 AM, mind you), maybe then we could all relate to them and realize that they are productive human beings (or cannibals, aborigines, beasts, homo erectus, centaurs, or whatever else you guys label them as). But until they’re blogging on a yahoo sports article that nobody even cares about, I really can’t defend them in having lives.

Just really hoping your dreams come true, that these Samurai all get yahoo accounts and unite one morning at dawn, for the most epic yahoo sports post battle of all time with all of you. But until then, I guess all we really can do is sit here and wait, popcorn in hand, and click refresh until we realize that we’re all just pathetic. Or, even go attend a tennis match (but only if we’re -really- bored).

Check and mate.

Very interesting comparison with gymnastics. I’ve often wondered at the concentration of gymnast A. on the balance beam while gymnast B. is frolicking around to Flight of the Bumblebee or whatever.

It’s funny that you also mention chess. A journalist I spoke with after the match was very upset by the Samurai behavior. When I tried to defend them, she said “But tennis is like a game of chess!”

Oh well, bottom line is that nobody is going to stop a group from cheering for their favorite. The tournament won’t tell them to be quiet and neither will Sam or whatever player is lucky enough to have his or her own cheerleaders.

Anyone who has a problem with it will have to form their own (non)cheering section. Which sounds a little like a conceptual art “happening.” Where Yoko Ono when you need her?

They should know they shouldn’t be stepping over the line. And that line is very thin. The players aren’t the most concentrated people. Roger even asked Djokovic’s family, wearing N-O-L-E shirts and being incredibly noisy to “BE QUIET.”

It’s no biggie, but at least they should pay their respects to the opponent. Like other fans do. Tommy should’ve let their actions speak louder than his words…

Although it’s kinda interesting that there are fans like them. The crowd has a little personality to boot.
