I really wanna know… AHHH WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU?! Wait…

Many of us might have heard of Teimuraz Gabashvili AKA Oompa Loompa (I mean seriously, look at that picture) but not a lot of people have seen him play or really much cared. So who the hell is he? Luckily, the people at Roland Garros want you to know with this great piece.

According to Gabashvili, “I’ve had a lot of difficult moments in my career, last year especially. I was ranked No.59, and then I got sick. I had an operation, and after that I went into freefall. I lost all my matches, even in the Challenger series. But the most important thing now is that I’ve found my own style of play, and I’m more settled in my private life. I really have fun on the court, whether or not I win, and tennis is no longer my reason for living. It’s just a passion.”

I mean… aww. How can you hate on that? Guy had a rough go, was psycho, had some personal issues… and now is loving it. His first round match against Crazy “Fucking Psycho” Dani was billed as the battle of the crazies, and I wasn’t quite sure what Oompa Loompa here had done to get the reputation. More after the break.

“I’ve always been crazy,” admits the Russian, a fan of Pete Sampras and Lance Armstrong. “It’s something I’m working on, but that’s nothing new, I’ve always been working on it. I have to avoid inconsistency, ups and downs, and build up my mental strength.”

However, he looked happy as a kid out there against Roddick, playing super confidently and winning easily. And that forehand is pretty friggin’ solid. Oh, and remember when Marat went to an orphange? Well guess who went with him?

Now you have to like him. Doopity do.
