If the last record for Masters was 17 and Nadal has doubled it already - with time to spare - is it then reasonable to assume he will win at least 28 Slams - with or without spare tire???????????????

Two pro dart players have accused each other of farting on stage during a match in England this week — casting a cloud of controversy over the heralded tournament. From Nick. Thanks.

“It’ll take me two nights to lose this smell from my nose,” Dutch player Wesley Harms fumed after getting blown away 10-2 by Scotland’s Gary Anderson at the Grand Slam of Darts in Wolverhampton.
Harms chalked up his foul play to a “fragrant smell” — which he deduced came from the Scotsman’s bowels.
But Anderson — who has admitted to passing gas during matches in the past — insisted he was innocent of this olfactory offense, The Guardian reported.
“If the boy thinks I’ve farted he’s 1,010-percent wrong,” said Anderson, who’s ranked the world’s No. 4 dart player, who moved on to the quarterfinals. “I swear on my children’s lives that it was not my fault. I had a bad stomach once on stage before and admitted it. So I’m not going to lie about farting on stage.”
He continued: “Usually if I fart on stage I s—t myself, I’ve told you that before,” The Express UK reported.
The British press has swooned over the colonic controversy, calling it “Fartgate.”
“We’ve got to get to the bottom of this,” the UK’s Professional Darts Corporation chairman Barry Hearn quipped, according to the BBC.
“Something doesn’t smell right,” he added.

Man in the pitchker demands monetary relief for having to endure 'excessive beans ingested' moment!!!!!!!!! Allegation: His auditory and smell faculties have been impaired - beyond repair!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Shouldn't there be a number on the weight scale for each player beyond which ALL titles are revoked - retired or not? Heck, you are required to pay for being on the tour for so long. She is so freaking fat it seems she has been transposed by some amateur.

Career ending injury for Federer and Nadal, given that both are now on ultra extended borrowed time, can be as benign as follows:
Federer's hair stylist refuses to cut his hair for under $1000.
Nadal inserts his finger a millimeter more than usual at his picking.
Federer's nose starts to split from the middle - from the indentation already there.
Wawrinka marries Ryan Harrison.
That Tweety doll Federer carries in his bag actually starts speaking - Toy Story style.
Mirka demands 'not missionary style'.
Swiss government grows fresh balls and demands Federer join the army - as pay back for lying at the first draft.
Xisca demands fresh hair transplant surgery - at every location hair live.
Monaco alleges inappropriate 'handling' by Nadal.
