Searching for … The Changeover? Wimbledon Edition

Welcome to another installment of all those funny things people type in that pesky Google box and somehow arrive to our site. If you missed any of the previous episodes of this series, you can find them all here.

As always, these are actual terms that people typed when searching on Google, Bing or Yahoo. Somehow, they were led to our site. What you will see here are screencaps of the search term page on Google Analytics, just to assure you that we don’t make any of these search terms up. Don’t you like how transparent we are?

Without further ado, let’s see what people were up to during Wimbledon:

Difficult to guess which country produced this one, eh?

2013-07-16_2117

I’m pretty sure Marion wasn’t created in a lab. Also, 4 people searched for this.

2013-07-16_2121

ESPN certainly thinks so.

Take that, John Inverdale!

2013-07-16_2151

And that!

2013-07-16_2140

Everyone loves Marion Bartoli! Why should she be claimed only by feminists?

2013-07-16_2341

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you … JO-WILFRED CONGA!

2013-07-16_2149

And JUAN MARTÍN DEL TORO!

(Not associated with Guillermo or Benicio, though.)

2013-07-16_2339

Because he recently signed an endorsement deal with Lego: his entire hair is one big piece of (shiny) plastic.

2013-07-16_2338

They do? I had no idea! Search terms are so educational.

2013-07-16_2337_001

Eh … try Spain. Which is not in Latin America.

2013-07-16_2337

Large. Very large. The man is 6’8″.

2013-07-16_2319

??????

2013-07-16_2314

1. Becket?

2. Who on Earth wants to see sexy Boris Becker pictures?

2013-07-16_2148_001

Who?

2013-07-16_2148

Well, let’s not get carried away …

2013-07-16_2147_002

Factually true. He’s like a very tall Polish bobblehead.

2013-07-16_2147_001

Love how kinesio tape can be turned into a verb.

2013-07-16_2124

1. Look at the next Search Term for your answer.

2. Polish players just love their kinesio tape. Kind of like a lucky charm, it seems.

2013-07-16_2147

Yep, it’s happening.

2013-07-16_2146

Nothing like a search term with its own commentary attached to it.

2013-07-16_2122

Unless he eloped with Marta Domachowska after Wimbledon (not a bad idea), I’m pretty sure there’s no Mrs. Janowicz yet.

2013-07-16_2142

If you mean “hit a winner” … just ask any Roddick fan.

2013-07-16_2140_001

Verdasco might be the highest-paid person in his neighborhood, I give you that much.

2013-07-16_2139

Not really, but if that gets you off …

2013-07-16_2137

If you watch about one full match of hers, you’ll know the answer.

2013-07-16_2135

This has to be the most random body part search term I’ve ever seen.

2013-07-16_2123

I highly doubt any tennis player has pretty feet.

2013-07-16_2134

First time I can say with utmost certainty that the same person produced two different search terms.

2013-07-16_2133

I love how these two showed up together.

2013-07-16_2131_001

The IBM SlamTracker has feelings? I sure hope it doesn’t.

2013-07-16_2131

I imagine someone’s grandma typing this one in.

2013-07-16_2130_001

The grandma left the computer.

2013-07-16_2130

This is surely from an Andy Murray Butt Connoisseur.

2013-07-16_2129_001

They just keep coming …

2013-07-16_2129

That escalated quickly, didn’t it?

2013-07-16_2128

Quite a specific GIF request.

2013-07-16_2124_001

Your 2013 Wimbledon Champion: Andy MurrrraaaaaNNNNNNNNNyyyyyyy!!

2013-07-16_2125

We all miss this, accompanied by “hello.”

2013-07-16_2120

Just when you think you’ve seen all the Andy Murray Butt Search Terms in the world …

2013-07-16_2119

Some things never change.


Juan José loves a well struck backhand down the line, statistics that tell a story, a nice lob winner, and competent returns of serve.

    These made me laugh so very hard. Crazy to think that actual people actually typed these search terms into Google.

    I often wonder if the people who actually did use those search terms ever read your “Searching for…” posts and recognize themselves, and then get really embarrassed and change their names and leave the country?

    I suppose that might be an overreaction.

    “2. Who on Earth wants to see sexy Boris Becker pictures?” That made me laugh so hard.

    I’m wondering whether the Gasquet search term should have been “tweener” rather than “winner”
