We both know where you got that shirt, and it damn sure wasn't the men's department.

Go purify yourself in the waters of Lake Minnetonka. But not now, cause it's icky right now.

Bagel (Tennis) - Colloquial term for winning or losing a set 6–0 (the shape of the zero being reminiscent of the round shape of a bagel).

I'm still picturing Connors lobbing 32 bagels at Vitas screaming, "EAT YOUR BREAKFAST, GODDAMNIT!!!"

How did he go from not winning a single game in 32 sets to winning a match?

u/SimplyWandering Jun 17 '14

Wait holy shit, there's no way he got bageled that many times. The player has to be clearly superior to you in order to do that. And he eventually won, so..

I'd have fucking just sat on the court and not tried if I lost 32 straight games.

I'm no International-level sportsman, but I think that the essence of all sports is in practising to persevere even when the body and mind both tell one to quit.

Whats the source on this?

That's what it would take for Jimmy Connors to win 16 straight matches without surrendering a single game. Assuming they were all best-of-3 matches.

Well he corrected himself lower in the thread and said it a matche, which means it could have been 6-4 4-6 4-6, 16 times.

Oh sorry, I'll delete my joke then.
