What is most stupidest excuse given to you after someone has lost a match?

Hi all,
Share some of the stupidest excuse that someone has given to you after they have lost a match to you.
Probably this happens in local club practice matches..

" I didn't realise you were left-handed. "

I think that stupidest excuse came from my own mouth. I lost a tennis mach and I sais to my mate that I felt sleepy becouse of my allergy medicine. That was 25 years ago and I think I will never forget it. After that... not too many excuses.

i(opponent) gave you(me) a chance(after losing 11-0)

I have this one team mate that always blames something that has nothing to do with the match. Like last time I played against him I had one net ball in the first set and that was the only one I had. He had like 5-7 during the match. I won 3-0 easily. He said I had so much luck... yeah right?!

opponent: "I was in jail and couldnt practise a lot..." XD

* "the ball just didn't bounce on the table"
* "ball bounced funny, must be something wrong with the floor"
* "your teammate distracted me ..."
* "I was too tired/sick/distracted to play properly"
* "my (recently purchased) tenergy 05 rubber lost grip"

"I thought the match was best of 7 games, not 5. I would have played totally different if I had known it"

IMHO, any excuse said to the face of the match winner by the player who lost is stupid. The only acceptable response is to congratulate the opponent on the well-deserved win.

Also, it never hurts to ask the other player what, in their opinion, what was it you did or didn't do or didn't do well enough that allowed them to win. Sometimes you get a real golden nugget of an advice as a result.

a few excuses i've heard:
-the walls are too yellow (note: we play with orange balls and the walls in our old hall weren't white, but not yellow either, more beige like)
-you used to much spin, if you'd play real table tennis you would've never won (from an over the table counter hitter i defeated with mainly heavy backspin)

''I was distracted by the supporters''

"we aren't playing to 21?"

 

[anchorschmidt]

"I can beat you with your racket"

I took him up on the challenge. He lost

"I didn't try my best" or "I didn't use my pendulum serve because it's just a training match" (I want to save it for competitive matches)
Well, in fact, his pendulum serve was not effective against me, that's why he didn't use it.
Sometimes it's true that people don't try their best in training match but using it as an excuse is stupid. You don't try hard enough, you lose, no excuse, just put in more effort next time if you don't wanna lose.
