What would be a bigger upset this week, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga taking down Rafael Nadal after their Australian Open semifinal gets under way in about 10 minutes as we speak, or Havant & Waterloo — the club formerly known as Havant & Waterwho? — pushing aside Liverpool on the way to more FA Cup glory on Saturday?
Tsonga has gotten this far despite not having an official seeding in the Aussie draw; Waterloo has made it to the actual-watchable part of the FA Cup despite having no official roster available for ESPN.
Great question PK…now that Tsonga has already killed one giant, Rafael Nadal, he still has arguably the greatest tennis player ever still to face…Roger Federer.
If Tsonga is to upset Federer and Havant & Waterlooville win at Anfield, I’d have to say the FA Cup upset would be the greater of the two.
Remember PK, at least Tsonga is a full-time tennis player. The entire Havant & Waterlooville squad has day jobs as brick layers, shopkeepers and bartenders. I’ll take the southenders over the Frenchie, no doubt.
No question, H&W have a greater wall to climb, by like five miles, but oh, to dream…Gillette and Hicks, Rafa Benitez, the starting XI, the guy who washes Gerrard’s jock strap — no one will be spared.
Don’t know about you, but that’s some Grammy Award-winning music to my ears. Cleanse the Premiership of this eyesore already, c’moan Water-who!!!
