Nicole Vaidisova (remember her?) is pregnant.  That's why Stepanek went home.

#Djokovic without Stepanek in Miami. Radek asked to go back home to deal with some personal issues and #Novak let him go. Also, Novak didn't know would he play in Miami up until the last moment. #MiamiOpen https://t.co/fpTHCQ293l

That article, sadly is of no surprise to me.  I remember a study done about a decade ago and the findings stated that the lighter the shade of one's skin, it was equivalent to akin to having an extra year of education, such was the high regard for a lighter complexion.  The closer to white your skin, the higher the paycheck.

Also, we also know that blacks get worse mortgage rates than whites, regardless of credit, finances.  Studies have shown a white person with the same credit rating/history and income as a black person and the black person was still steered toward a more disadvantageous terms in their loan package.

That song was so bad!  But Jr. ain't worth sh*t, so I guess that sounds about right.

Roger and Nick were both in Chicago today to promote the U.S. edition of the Laver Cup.

This will come as no surprise to any of us but look at the number or trade agreements being signed and negotiated without the U.S. as countries look for alternatives to trade with the U.S. 

What stands out is just how instrumental Canada is becoming in quite a number of these trade agreements, which makes sense.

‘World Upside Down’: As Trump Pushes Tariffs, Latin America Links Up

I try to limit my reading/posting of Op-Ed pieces but this one caught my eye.  From what I've observed from others and read I tend to agree with everything being expressed here except the part about Trump W.H. Inc. being committed to a lasting peace in the region. 

I don't believe Trump W.H. is committed to anything except burnishing their bankroll.

Israel’s Self-Inflicted Wounds

That was such an intense and entertaining match!! 

Those guys bring out the best in each other on court, and the worst in each other in temperament! 

I was glad to see someone who struggled with injuries and multiple surgeries, the way Juan did and manage to make it back as a competitor and win big!  

It is hard to believe that there won't be another title for Roger to win somewhere.  There's literally another tournament around the corner, in a few days.  Although I do wonder whether Juan will try for the famous "Sunshine Double".

@Faulkner ESPN's online app actually streamed the trophy ceremony. I already watch online, this was how I found out.  It's weird because I checked before the match began, and I swear, it wasn't on the schedule.

Osaka did everything well today, except for that speech!

Seriously though, it was nice to see and surprisingly, I felt pleased for Sascha, her coach.

In other warm and fuzzy news.

Here's a concise documentary by Channel 4 on the origins of the Cambridge Analytica company and how they grabbed so much personal data from FB users.

A whistleblower reveals to @Channel4News a data grab of 50 million Facebook profiles by Cambridge Analytica – the data firm linked to Trump's win.

Nia Long (Kat Speakes, GL) is one of the stars of the Netflix original movie Roxanne Roxanne.

Man.

 

Well, the serve clearly isn’t bailing him out today.

 

C’mon Delpo. Win this tournament for the good of tennis.

ESPN literally went on to list the myriad of coaches that Milos has had before the commentators then discussed the possibility of Milos either searching for the right fit and not afraid of change but not before one (Chris what's-his-name again) proposed that perhaps the problem rested with Milos himself and the possibility that Milos was a very deep thinker, perhaps too much so.  Then Patrick suggests that Milos has a very "straightforward" game and shouldn't need to overthink anything.

These guys are exhausting.  I'm glad I don't often have to listen to them.

3 minutes ago, Faulkner said:

Ha. I decided to go to gym instead of watching this, but I see the score. What did they say?

They just started talking about how big he looks and mentioned an anecdote about how Ivanisevic had once talked about the ideal kg for Raonic and how he surely was heavier than that ideal now.

Then Chris-what's-his-name mentioned that it must be difficult to carry that amount of weight around the court and expect to move quickly.  Something like that.

This is the first I've heard of it.  Hopefully, they catch the person soon.

It has gotten very minimal media coverage, which is a shame.  I've read more about it on social media from those who knew the victims.

It would be hard to believe that there wouldn't come a point that all of Trump's scheming wouldn't catch up to him.

Basically ESPN commentators are saying that Milos is too fat to win this match?

Borna is a talented albeit inconsistent player.  I also suspect that he may follow his other Croatian compatriots (Majoli, Ivanisevic, Cilic) and sneak a major when you least expect it.

Federer looks like he's starting to fight back now.

Well, well, well Borna!  This is quite a display of tennis!

Except Kei doesn't have a disease.  Kei is a 5"9" man struggling to compete with a Tour where the average player is over 6ft tall. 

At least Chang, in his day competed with people under 6ft (Agassi, McEnroe) but Chang, especially toward the end of career, struggled physically to keep up with a Tour that was being increasingly filled with taller and taller player.  Kei has rarely had that luxury.  Much like Rubin, their bodies, while appearing fragile, are actually being gradually worn down from having to compete against much bigger, stronger players.

I actually think Venus has competed a lot more often (ailments and all) than Kei on their respective Tours.

Meanwhile,

The 20-21 year olds are definitely having their say this weekend!  Coric is playing really aggressive and I'm enjoying seeing it!
