WCBS’ Official Australian Open 2012 Drinking Game

It has been awhile since we’ve put together our favorite tennis/drinking endeavor, but we’re excited to be back. Due to the overlap of this final from Saturday night to Sunday morning (if you’re in the US), you may not even need to join us and can instead bask comfortably in the post-party glow while our nos. 1 and 2 do all the hard work for us. If you feel like pouring a little bit out for Roger and Andy before we start, go for it. It’s always good to remember our fallen homies.

Get your drink of choice (to be honest, ours may be coffee this year), get ready for some really vigorous fist pumping, and as always, guys — please vamos responsibly.

Take one drink if/when…

  • Someone pronounces it “jock-o-vich” (Sorry Eurosport viewers, you’re done for)
  • Uncle Toni is accused of coaching
  • Anyone in the Serbian Section beats their chest with their fist
  • Novak does the splits to save a point (take a shot if it’s for a winner)
  • We are treated to someone talking about Novak being in Rafa’s head
  • Rod Laver Cameo
  • B-roll of an Australian beach is aired
  • Someone remembers and actually references the “Retirement Slam”
  • The words “brutal,” “devastating,” or “impossible to return” are uttered
  • Jelena is the only person standing up in Novak’s box
  • Rafa does a jumping fistpump
  • A successful drop shot is performed
  • The Rolex ad with Roger airs (baby sips, y’all)
  • Brad Gilbert makes a comment so obnoxious you are then actually angry
  • We end up in a 5th set (probably take two, just for good measure)

Be good, friends. See you on the clay in May.
