MADRID (AFP) – Unheralded Aravane Rezai thrust herself into contention as a Roland Garros threat on Sunday with a stunning 6-2, 7-5 victory over Venus Williams to win the Madrid Masters after a week-long, giant-killing run. "The French Open is another tournament and I will try my best at the first match," said the winner. "Every match is difficult. I have to take it one match at a time and we'll see." The upset in just under one and three-quarter hours marked the biggest success in the career of the Frenchwoman, whose previous two WTA titles were in Strasbourg and Bali. Sunday's victory was Rezai's third major triumph this week after knocking out former number one players Justine Henin in the first round and Jelena Jankovic in the quarters. "It's the best week of my career and I'm very happy," said Rezai. "I played very well, I'm very proud of myself because it was a very tough tournament and a lot of players were here >>>

by Iraniandudee3 on Wed May 19, 2010 10:35 PM PDTI know bro. These islamists have been getting real desperate these last couple of years, and it's because they're close to collapsing on their ars and they know it too. Man is it gonna be a sweet site. Justice will finally be served, not only by god but by the hands of the Iranian people and Iran will again have a nationalist, democratic and secular government ready to serve the Iranian nation.
Keep up the good work baradar.
Dear Kourosh: thanks for part of your comment addressed to me
by Anahid Hojjati on Wed May 19, 2010 10:46 AM PDTKourosh jan, I read your comments from yesterday addressed to Boom. Part of one of your comments was addressed to me. Thanks.
Dear Iraniandudee3
by boom shakalaka on Thu May 20, 2010 12:35 AM PDTMy friend, you're way too kind and generous with your praise. However, I'm grateful. If I accomplished one-tenth of what you wrote, I'm happy. It did help to have you around early on, to help me with some of these IRI cheerleaders. I love your passion, bro, and your unique wit, so don't let some of these jokers distract you -- you not only own the higher moral ground, but you have their attention, so let them have it every chance you get. Remember, as one very wise man once said, the pen is mightier than the sword.
Most of all, I love that you're not shy about what you stand for -- you know who you are. Most of these IRI cheerleaders are devious, self-interested, and down right deceptive. They wouldn't recognize their true self if they stared at the mirror for three hours from 3 inches away -- and what they do see scares them. Most likely, they hate themselves, truly. Most of these jackals are not dumb. They know that they stand on the wrong side of history. They know all too well that they fight on the side of darkness and evil. This makes them hate themselves deep inside their black souls.
But they've made their faustian bargain, and for most, there's no going back, which makes them hate themselves even more. So, they come here, trying so very hard to hock their black magic and when we reject them with conviction and without doubt, they burn where it really hurts, and the pain reminds them of what they will surely endure in the fiery depths of Hell, which awaits EACH AND EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM.
God bless a FREE Iran -- free from filthy Hezbollahis, child-molesting mullahs, mojaheds, ayatollah, faghighs, Ahmadis, Qomis, basijis, lefties, marxists, jebhe melli phonies, and the rest of the traitors and filth peddlers.
God bless Iran-zamin, and our eternal father, Cyrus the Great (pbuH)!
Iran is a prisoner of IRI
Watched it again
by pas-e-pardeh on Tue May 18, 2010 07:00 PM PDTI had Tivo'ed the match and just watched again. She is a thing of beauty. I'm sorry that some people are missing the pleasures of her achievement.
Iranian women have made us all so proud through these dark days of Shi'ite brutality; From Shirin Ebadi, to Nazanine Afshin Jam, to Neda Agha Sultan, and many, many more ...
I salute Iranian women everywhere. I hope the future of Iran belongs to you.

by KouroshS on Tue May 18, 2010 04:20 PM PDTLOL Ohh. Ok. If my way at things are funny then what term should we use to suitably describe your view of things. Hmmm... You scarred my Pride?? LOL change that little "substance" your smoking dude. You are hallucinating beyond belief. I do not recall getting any posting anywhere from you. You should take your own "make it a good day" advice to the heart and live by it.
boom shakalaka, bravo bro
by Iraniandudee3 on Tue May 18, 2010 03:16 PM PDTSingle-handedly this poster just blew everyone out of the water. No matter how many of you guys tried to gang up on him and twisted his words for your own meaningless rants and agenda, he still came back and smacked all of you right in the face. JUST WOW, we seriously need more educated Iranians like him who have a view of the real political world.
Keep up the good work bro, and know that if we don't do these things none will, cause we truly cannot expect much from these kind of "Iranians" to achieve anything for the Iranian people and their goal for freedom.
Time out Guys!

by boom shakalaka on Tue May 18, 2010 01:58 PM PDTTake it easy, pal. I don't have time to correct all of your mistakes today, but I hope you can find one of the many libraries in your town so you can do your homework. And I do appreciate your initial compliments. I did not forget them. Like I said, I thought/still think you're an intelligent guy despite my rants -- you just have a funny way of looking at things. Anyway, I didn't mean to scar your pride.
In fact, I know in the past I've sent you several positive posts under other names. At least we agree on one thing: the IRI is pure evil and the cause of freedom in Iran is paramount to any one person or issue.
Make it a good day.

by KouroshS on Tue May 18, 2010 08:09 AM PDTYou Just can not tame your unduly and overbearing arrogance can you now? What an honor for RP to have a bombastic, arrogant, full of false pride supporter such as you. You are too full of yourself.
You don't know $%%$% about intelligence. AT Least I at one point had the decency and repect to give you the compliment that Hey, I do respect the fact that you know about all these things. ButYou.... A whole different story. You were wrong about me? Ha. Guess what. The whole IC knows about you and your dirty and filthy tactics and rubbish. You have been exposed. You are still drowned in your childish and assinine dream of Oh Marge is a palestinian and i exposed her... Oh merci me. Your Nobel prize is on its way for doing this. You will DREAM about destroying my arguments. I don't need Luck when dealing with THINGS like you. Swallow that and Absorb it.
No she is not into Politics. I should NOT HAVE TO tell this LADY who has brought Honor TO YOU and YOUR People Anything. You see. I don't put myself in charge of exposing people and give myself the right to direct the to the path only You Think is the right path, I am not arrogant like you. She opened her mouth for the same reason that You do here every second of your day-to-day life. With one big difference that she DOES IT RESPECTFULLY And stays outta the buisness of exposing people.
No, You are right. You are the SHAH of smarts on this site. I don't even compare to you in any sorta way. LOOOL. I will let you wallow in that if that makes your insecure mind happy. LOL. If we do get you blocked on this site it is because you damn well deserve it. You are a disgrace to free speech, you gave free speech a bad reputation. I don't even come close inbeing delusional as you are. Stop fantasizing. NO. I don't have any notion of PF is . Why don't you tell me. NONE of those long and boring and pointless postings please. Break it down for me. Let's see.
My god. Can you stay with one posting and finish it all in one writing? DO you have ADHD? can you concentrate? God damn...
I am sorry. We are on the internet and are TYPING To each other. If you are hearing words and think that you are actually speaking to anyone, let alone trying to control the speed and intensity of it... then i guess you have confirmed my impression of you being the real delusional. But you do not dig that do you? Personally i hate to engage in what you think is debating LOL while it really is a chance for you to show off to the world your skill level in profanity. I am sorry. Go back to the Elegant M...Fing part. You were saying? And this time take a deep breath and stop pounding on the keyboard.
OH yes... Ahmadinejad is the regime. Right, oh ok. Wow. Amazing logic. Amazing conclusion. I mean who can argue with that?:)
This monkeynejad asshole was DEEPLY involved in the bloody crackdown last summer. People lost lives. Heads were cracked open. Men and women were raped, murdered and tortured. Viciously. Are you freaking blind, man????! It's akin to saying, "Oh, my father supported Hoveida, not the Shah." This is the most ridiculous, asinine statement I've read on Iranian.com since... forever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ahmadinejad not only represents the REGIME, he IS the REGIME
Yeah... well. I am sorry to have insulted your Intelligence . Your wanna -be majesty.
Moving on now...Oh god. Here comes another one...
Meybokhor : that was awsome LOOL. he must be watching that andmany more toons. I think his favorit is Family guy.
I win a Trip to my local library? Oh wow. Which one??? we have so many. I take it that u have never been to one? Given your fithy mind which natutally and eventually comes outta your mouth i wonder how many have banned you. No owonder that was the first thing that came to your mind. Been deprived for too long. Akhey... Gonah dari. Khoda shafat bedeh.
Probably? Oh so you do not know for sure... Has she or has she not been around the world a dozen times? You should feel insulted regardless. You have insulted just about anyone on this site and whitewashed with SO shamelessly. And excluding your mother, SInce when has having Kids at such a young age been a definite factor in determining the maturity of a woman?
We are talking about her. I know that. BUt how many in the world REALLY AND TRULY KNOW HER?? besides, HOW WELL DO WE KNOW HER? Are you that arrogant to see YOUR Talking about any one as reason enough for that person to be a public figure?
Anahid Jaan
He is wallowing in his untamed and unmitigated arrogance. He is a danger to himself and those who surround him. he is displaying the hallmarks of a person who is suffering from delusion of grandeur . He has been emotionally scarred, Too bad he still can not express himself the right way and sees it necessary to always be in the attack mode and revenge mode,

by boom shakalaka on Tue May 18, 2010 04:30 AM PDTAnahid: I meant no disrespect, so please accept my apologies. I was just saying that if you've had enough of this subject, please find another one, as there are still some adults who find it worthy to comment on. We don't need cyber nannies around here, again no offense intended. I was away for work all day yesterday and didn't get to comment earlier, so that's that.
Sag Koochooloo: perfectly put, pal. Who gives a hoot if she's Iranian **if** she supports the rapist IRI. That makes me want to root vehemently AGAINST her... just as I root against Ahmad the monkey (and hope his airplane crashes every time he takes to the skies)!!!

Boom, you addressed me in your comment and I answered.
by Anahid Hojjati on Tue May 18, 2010 04:09 AM PDTLast night, first At 10:44, Boom writes a comment addressed to me about Rezai and when I wrote that enough was enough and he should find another subject, Boom writes:
"Who're you to say anything?
If you've had enough, move on. "
I like to say to Boom that he was the one addressing me. So why is he complaining that I tell him that I thought enough was enough and he should find another subject. I just wrote my opinion.
I agree that some anti IRI material has been written on this thread and that is good However, I believe that it is more effective if we target leaders and decision makers of IRI.

by sag koochooloo on Tue May 18, 2010 04:37 AM PDT“You, sir, madam, are the reason we are not united and are ruled by idiots. “
Trust the likes of you to put people commenting on a guilt trip for being honest. And what an idiotic remark – the whole point of discussions is for people to air their views. Shame? Iran is ruled by Islamists and we have no Democracy. You fail to understand what democracy is – free speech is part of that. And so what she is “Iranian”? She supports IRI and I couldn’t give a hoot about someone who won a tennis match but supports murderers. To attempt to character assassinate those that do not agree with you is a cheap shot. My comment goes to all your Palestinian-obssessed chear leaders too.
Pathetic
by boom shakalaka on Tue May 18, 2010 03:47 AM PDTThere have been TWO other "dramatic nuclear agreement (s)" in the last 5 years, and EVERY TIME, they were not followed through in Iran (a similar deal was reached last year and 2005). In fact, this joke of an agreement is not even worth the paper it is written on, as only the low-level nuclear fuel is required to be transported out of Iran. All the good stuff (20% enriched) remains in Iran. Thusly, the deal reached by two upstart pretenders (Brazil and Turkey) is fool's gold (right up your ally).
Nice try though, you despicable propagandist.

Iran "might" be a prisoner of the IRI

Iran **IS** a prisoner of IRI
Reading some of the latter
by Sargord Pirouz on Tue May 18, 2010 03:33 AM PDTReading some of the latter comments, it never ceases to amaze me how any Iranian success related to the motherland is so roundly despised by the subversive malcontents among the diaspora.
Pathetic.
But hey, we've a rising tennis star and a dramatic nuclear agreement this week. That must make you people very unhappy. Boo hoo, as the kids in my family would say.
Gee, now you have hurt me!

Now go pray to your bedouin idols!

by MeyBokhor_Manbarbesuzan on Tue May 18, 2010 02:47 AM PDTThis just in:
Aravane Rezai does not give a ... about cyber warriors and what they think about her. So all you couch potatoes, chicken hawks, keyboard kings, etc. go ahead and judge her as much as you want. She'll probably never hear/read what you are writing here and even if she did, it would probably just give her enough of a stomach upset (which by itself is answer enough to many of these blogs).
KuroushS owns the all-time record
by boom shakalaka on Tue May 18, 2010 04:34 AM PDTfor the most ridiculous comments written on any one single blog in the history of Iranian.com. A huge congratulations, KuroushS!!! You win a trip to your local library!
Check out his latest greatest hits: "She was a gleeful little girl... so excited on meeting this person." Mind you, this was written about a 22-year-old woman (yes, woman) who's probably been all over the globe a dozen times or more. My mother had 2 kids by the time she was 22. And this guy refers to this **woman** as a "gleeful little girl." For a minute, I thought our tennis phenom was 8 years old!!! If I was Arghavane, I'd be insulted.
"For all we know, I doubt she is even known beyond the tennis circles. HOw can even she be known as PF just because WE who follow the news are talking about her!!!"
"We who follow the news." Are we (all 15 of us on IC) the only people in the world "who follow the news?" Do I even have to comment about this gem? Suffice it to say, here at Iranian.com, we're not part of any "tennis circle," and here we are, talking about this woman's tennis prowess. Maybe because since she's the FIRST Iranian women in the history of tennis to get this far means she TRANSCENDS her sport??? Which gives her a HUGE public platform! In fact, if she's not a public figure, why the hell was she on TV in the first place?
She was a known commodity, that's why!

by boom shakalaka on Tue May 18, 2010 03:04 AM PDT"But come on, if she really supported a piece of monkey crap like Ahmadinejad she would wear a black chador, stay home, and you would never even hear her name again, let alone wear a tennis outfit and win championships."
Ever heard of a nasty little habit, practiced by many IRI supporters, called 'hypocricy' ??? Just consider the examples of many IRI scumbags renting five-star rooms at Hotel California -- all that lovely weather, sun, beaches, democracy, freedom, not to mention all that stolen Iranian money -- even the L.A. smog seems swell when you're smoking someone else's dough.

Hamsadeh Ghadimi,
by boom shakalaka on Tue May 18, 2010 12:09 AM PDTI was away all day, and just read your comment, and let me just say... it was a thing of BEAUTY! Well done!!!
HamGhad writes, "and yes, she’s a public figure (def.: a well-known or notable person; not to mention we’re talking about her!) and public figures can sway public opinion because of their stature. therefore, they’re scrutinized more than the regular schmo like ‘hamsdade ghadimi’ or ‘kouroshs.’ "
"boomshaka... i wouldn’t write her off yet for she may be useful for the opposition if she makes a statement in the future against ahmadi and vf. for some (like me), much respect is earned for someone who updates her belief in light of new information. meanwhile, i think she should have access to a view like yours as well as all others in her education process... i hope she comes to her senses for moral reasons and not financial gain. but we know, if she does change her mind, the ex sepahis, ex basijees, and other iri apologist on this site will denounce her and claim she did it for financial gain."
Thank you!

One last thing, KuroushS
by boom shakalaka on Tue May 18, 2010 04:37 AM PDTJust consider another gem by this "genius" -- "She is not supporting a Regime, but a person."
OH. MY. GOD. ***She's not supporting a regime, but a person*** Let me speak slowly for you, Kuroush (what a name for this guy!) This motherF'ing "person" (Ahmadinejad) is the FACE of the REGIME, the IRI! Antarinejad is a former Revolutionary Guard himself. Today, the Revolutionary Guard, the sepah, rules Iran, not necessarily the mullahs!
As such, Ahmadinejad IS the REGIME!!!
This monkeynejad asshole was DEEPLY involved in the bloody crackdown last summer. People lost lives. Heads were cracked open. Men and women were raped, murdered and tortured. Viciously. Are you freaking blind, man????! It's akin to saying, "Oh, my father supported Hoveida, not the Shah."

by boom shakalaka on Tue May 18, 2010 04:41 AM PDTThis "genius" writes, "this is about a woman athelet who LIVES OUTSIDE OF IRAN AND IS NOT INTO POLITICS."
Oh, she's not into politics? She could've fooled me! Then please tell this tennis twit NOT to talk about POLITICIANS on international TV **or rather** tell this airhead not to praise murdering DICTATORS on international TV!!! Not only is it inhumane, but it'll probably cost her some very lucrative endorsements. Jesus, am I the only one here who gets annoyed by this dimwitted jibber-jabber? She's "not into politics"? Then why the hell did she open her mouth on TV and step right into some Ahmadi shit?
Are you freaking serious?! Actually, don't answer. You're not smart enough for me to carry on a debate with you. Just consider you following statement, "She is far from being a public figure."
Are you FREAKING KIDDING ME?! What the hell is this shit?! It's people like you who get me blocked on this site every other week! You're so....(I'm trying not to get blocked again)....OBTUSE! She's "far from a public figure?" You're so delusional, it's creepy! Completely!
She's not only NOT far from being a public figure, SHE IS A FREAKING PUBLIC FIGURE!!! That's actually the ONLY reason we're talking about her, you know-nothing couch potato!!!
Do you have any notion what a public figure means???

First of all, Marge is a Palestinian, and one who posed as an Iranian on this site for years -- that constitutes a fraud -- until I exposed her right here on this site.
She deserved worse.
Second, I consider SamSam a friend. We share many opinions, but have some major disagreements, period. This is well documented, and it's between him and I, and frankly, it's NONE of your business. You hear, dearie? Don't get your toxic juices tangeled up in other people's affairs.
As far as bencross is concerned, I have nothing but the absolute highest respect and admiration for this fellow monarchist. Our conversations have always been constructive. I dare you show me just ONE INSTANCE where we have been unduly negative towards each other. JUST ONE, pal!

Talent
by Veiled Prophet of Khorasan on Mon May 17, 2010 11:00 PM PDTis not the issue here. No one is questioning her talent as a tennis player. Her politics is the issue not her obvious talent at tennis.
NP jan, you know as well as me that support for AN is not independence. The actions of AN are that of a dictator and a despot. That is the debate not anything else. Anyway why do you support AN? I understand your upset at things going on in the west. But that does not exeuce IRI or AN.
