Two surprises in the M1000 at Rome, Murray defeated Djokovic, and the most important fact was the first title ever for chucknorris among the LLTL, ahead of pulpipi !



Nelson met the 2 finalsits for a (previously unseen) criss-crossed interview.

Nelson, LLTL : Congratulations to all of you for your great performance ! The first question is for the winner, chucknorris. What happened to you is absolutely amazing : you finally win a title after 37 attempts, thanks to Tsonga, replaced by the lucky loser Pouille, who once again took advantage of Monaco's withdrawal in QF, in order to validate your bet ! Please tell us more about this incredible stroke of luck.

chucknorris : Thank you Nelson, I think tougher anti-doping controls and the fight against match-fixing have prevented my opponents to get extra points which deprived me so far of a well-deserved title in the LLTL. But I would say that I earned this title despite Tsonga withdrawal and not because of it, it is obvious that KB would easily have risen in semifinals. I note that all my opponents (except 3 who finished in the shallows of the ranking) have bet in this part of the draw on Stan Wawrinka, eliminated by the World 114th playing on one leg! I have a special pleasure to finish a little ahead of pulpipi because despite his swiss nationality I appreciate his bold (reckless?) profile, used to sports rivalries as in his doubtful defeat (?) against anekfu in a bowling competition.

Nelson, LLTL : It's such a pleasure to hear these great champions with such a mutual respect. Pulpipi, vous avez le grand mérite d'avoir misé sur la victoire de Murray contre Djoko, mais malheureusement pour vous le titre vous a échappé (contrairement à kayoo83 à Monte-Carlo). Pensez-vous que cette place de finaliste permettra de faire enfin taire vos détracteurs qui moquent inlassablement votre unique titre obtenu dans la LLTL, à une époque où il n'y avait que 6 participants ?

pulpipi : La ferme Nelson. Ma victoire à Doha avait été acquise dans l'adversité la plus extrême, étant donné que seule la crème de la crème des pronostiqueurs y avait participé (dont la défunte et regrettée juya ayant succombé aux coups de butoirs vicieux de l'usurpateur anekfu). Je tiens à féliciter chucknorris pour son titre et lui souhaite la bienvenue dans le club des pronostiqueurs de génie ayant un titre prestigieux à leur palmarès. Je ne peux que me réjouir lorsque la prise de risque prime sur l'ennui contagieux de l'oligarchie révoltante opérant dans l'ombre de la lltl. Je tiens néanmoins à préciser qu'anekfu n'a encore jamais gagné contre moi dans une compétition de bowling, et ce malgré ses propos mensongers qu'il aura bientôt à rétracter au tribunal.

Nelson, LLTL : hmm... I notice that anekfu and Djokovic are not very popular these days. But it's true that we get bored when champions win (almost) all the time. Chucknorris, now two Grand Slams, and you have more than 1000 points to defend. You have certainly emptied your luck tank, I can imagine that your ambitions are reduced ?

chucknorris : Nelson you did not listen a word I said, luck has nothing to do with my title. I hope next tournaments will be the opportunity to get closer to the #1 ranking, and I salute josemobilette which is about to take the lead of the reverse rankings.
