Fernando Verdasco

Hey guys I made an oopsie and I had to move the scheduled update to a later date.

So I decided to do a small Verdasco update for all the Nando lovers out there.

I added the attached pic to his page on the brieflines site. Enjoy!

New Player: Marco Crugnola

Hola boys!

Or should I say ciao?

Anyway, the reason for the rhetorical question is that I added a brand new Italian tennis player to the brieflines site this morning. He's Marco Crugnola from Venice.

Enjoysssss!

Sidelines: Gareth Barry

Dependable Gareth Barry keeps giving to the brieflines world.

I added three more pics for our viewing enjoyment.

Cheers to all!

Hey guys. I added six new pics of Tommy Haas to his page on the brieflines site.

Hey guys.

Anyway, enjoy!

Sidelines: Robbie Keane

Good morning, guys.

I added nine new pics of footballer, Robbie Keane to the brieflines site.

Top 10 Tennis Players for March 2012

Hi guys. It's time for another Top 10 installment, where I list the ten players with the most brieflines photos available on the brieflines site.

They are as follows, with number of pictures in parentheses:

01. Richard Gasquet (405)
02. Tommy Robredo (348)
03. Rafael Nadal (340)
04. Fernando Verdasco (333)
05. Novak Djokovic (278)
06. Feliciano Lopez (235)
07. Roger Federer (230)
08. Juan Carlos Ferrero (190)
09. David Ferrer (184)
10. Jo Wilfried Tsonga (109)

This is Richy's twelfth month at the top, a streak that goes back to April 2011!

The next ten players with the most photos on the brieflines site are: Marat Safin, Stanislas Wawrinka, Andy Roddick, Radek Stepanek, Paul Henri Mathieu, Ivan Ljubicic, Mario Ancic, Jarkko Nieminen, Mikhail Youzhny, and Nikolay Davydenko.

Roger Federer

There are a couple of tennis players out there, Roger Federer and Rafa Nadal come to mind, who I've sort of overlooked because pictures of thier brieflines were so ubiquitous.

But then, I had a thought.

I have made it my mission to chronicle brieflines through the google group, this blog, and the brieflines site. It is unfair if I overlook these players just because. So I've started to go through the major picture hosting sites to recover any missing pictures of Federer (starting with him first) and of course, have gobs of pics to share.

So, today's update is the first "gob", with thirty pics added to his page. Enjoy!

Raemon Sluiter

It's funny that 90% of the Sluiter pics I've found are from his play at the Ordina tournaments.

I added five more this morning.

Enjoy!

Sidelines: John O'Shea

I added two new pics of Irsih footballer, John O'Shea, to his page on the brieflines site.

I'd like to take a moment to thank all the contributors who make this blog, the site, and the google group happen! Shout out to TZ, CopaOlympic, and johnsa11.

Cheers!

Novak Djokovic

Well, I guess it's safe to say that the new king of tennis is Novak Djokovic. Congrats to him!

Today's update is to Sharkira's man, Gerard Pique.

As famous as he is, you don't find many brieflines photos of him floating around.

But there are a few, like the one above.

Enjoy!

Marat Safin

I think it's great that when a player retires, there are still pics of them and their brieflines floating around cyberspace.

That's the case with Marat Safin, the Russian tennis player (and member of parliament?).

I added three new pics of him to his page on the brieflines site. Enjoy!

You Might Be on the Brieflines Site If...

...you're a Frenchman.

So,  I did some statistical analysis on the brieflines site, somewhat out of curiosity and somewhat out of boredom. And one of the things I discovered is that there are more Frenchmen on this site then from any other country.

The data are from my excel tracking sheets. I wanted to know which countries (top 10) had the most players on the brieflines site and which countries had the most pictures per player.


Here's what I discovered:

1. The country with the most players on the site is France with 28 players. They're followed by a tie between Argentina and Spain, then Germany, the Czech Republic, Italy, Australia, the United States, the Russian Federation and the UK.

   

2. As a percentage, the Top 10 countries listed above are responsible for a whopping 71% of the players on the site.

3. The country with the most amount of photos* attributed to players from within its borders is Spain with 1,770. Its followed by France, Serbia, the Russian Federation, Switzerland, Croatia, Germany, the United States, the Czech Republic, and Argentina.

*To make this list, a country had to have at least five players on the website.

4. Together, the ten countries with the players who have the most photos comprise 79% of all the photos on the website.

5. Spain has the most photos per player, with 77 photos per. Serbia is second with 51 and Switzerland is third with slightly less than Serbia.
