Gilles Simon: An Inspiration - Page 2 - DiscussWorldIssues - Socio-Economic Religion and Political Uncensored Debate

Gilles has quietly made his way into my personal Top 5 this year. In a sport where it is real easy to question the heart of a lot of the top players, seems like Simon has more than almost anyone. His match against Del Potro at the US went so far in making me a huge fan. And he plays the style of game I've always loved.

I saw him play his doubles match at the USO first and that was enough to make me a fan. Then that match against Del Potro was great too! I love to watch him play.

After Lindsay, Arantxa is my favorite woman player (don't ask how that works...). Therefore, it is only natural that I heart Simon. Watching him in Indy and Montreal (or was it Toronto this year?) put him solidly in my top 5 of male favorites (it didn't hurt that he was on my HRNY team

).

Nikolay has a much stronger game and he's still only #6. Like Radwanska, I think Simon's topped out. Good luck getting past Karlovic next time, forget about Nadal.

Hopefully he'll be #5 again soon.

Hell, I'm a fan of the way that all the Frenchies play- so, count me in with this fan club.

Of all the comparisons, Arantxa works the best for me. IMO Andy M's got a lot more talent and options than Simon ever will. At his best, Davydenko's shots over-all are hit harder- but, I think that Simon has more firepower than the male equivalent of a Radwanska. I will be curious if Simon can have any stayiing power- or, if he'll dip soon and/or for good. The Rafa/Simon match was fascinating.

Now, everyone please be still just for a moment. Nelslus is still trying to recover from reading in another thread that beau has a crush and Scotty has a quasi-crush on Simon. EWWWWWWW. (We clearly need a TAT committee to approve Beau's future love interests once and for all.)

Darling, you forget that you've conceded that Jarkko isn't vomit-worthy.

Also, Gilles has super-cute mannerisms and a really infectious smile. That-- other than the obvious heart he brings to his matches-- is really what I like.

Darling...

We REALLY need to get that committee formed!

Oh, ANGEL, for HEAVEN'S SAKES, you can get super-cute mannerisms and a really infectious smile from your friends or go shop for a fuzzy-wuzzy from FAO Schwarz or American Girl or whatever. Not being "vomit-worthy" wasn't meant to be a ringing endorsement of your, ahem, taste in men-folks. Nelslus was just trying to be kind about Mr. Nieminen. Stick-figure Simon, however, is taking things entirely too far.

(Sidebar: Please note that Dry's version of an infectious smile is an entirely different matter.)

Personality and heart are nice of course. But, trust me on this, when you've reached my ripened state, all you'll care about is looks. PLUS- once and for all, baby gotta have back.

Beau must first admit that he has a problem before we can intervene, though......

Good luck with that.

Also, shut up.

**heinz_1966** · 10-21-2008, 12:49 AM

Good luck with that.

The good news is, you can go right to your bedroom, put a toupée-with-waves on a toothpick, and get an approximation of what your sweet, sweet love with Simon would feel like.
