I saw the last set of the match. It was a good win. I am sure Thiem is exhausted from all the tennis. I like both players. In other news Grigor lost in the first round…ouch….he is now out of the top 30….yikes…he needs to fire his coach …he has gone further downhill with Davin as his coach. The guy has so much talent and its being wasted.

So is that after she fell and Cruz didn't pick her up?…LOL

the best scene was him without the tee JP is either too nice IRL or too wooden as an actor (or both) to portray a convincing menace. I was about to post this…you see John and he totally looks like a nice guy….on ATWT he played Mike….and other movies I have seen him in he always plays the good guy. I don't think he should be playing the evil roles. It doesn't suit him.

Another cheesy movie but it was great seeing Jon again. I thought he was a nice addition to ATWT but was miscast as Mike. He should have played a different character.

As I watched the movie, however, I couldn't understand why Elisabeth Rohm's character, who was supposed to be this incredibly intelligent businesswoman, couldn't see through his character's deception. I mean, his cheesy Italian accent -- that should have been an immediate giveaway. Then, whaddya know, his co-conspirator expressed to Rohm at the movie's climax the Exact. Same. Sentiments. As if the writer had been reading my mind the entire time, lol. I thought is Jon suppose to be acting as an Italian or is his acting that bad or its part of the plot….LOL…….the best scene was him without the tee…..LOL…. I use to like his music way back ….did he stop with his music career? I haven't seen him much in acting either..

Figures that Kohleschreiber won….I thought for sure Thiem would beat him even though it did go to 3 sets…last in the tie breaker. Phillip hasn't done squat this year and then he wins this tournament….blah…LOL….I like Phillip but wanted Thiem to win. Townsend should be in the big leagues not playing ITF tourneys….

Gimelstob's wife is divorcing him….I am surprised she lasted 4 years with him….I am sure he would be difficult to live with…LOL …So he said he wanted to spend more time with his son…which means if he probably continued to coach John he would have no time with his son since the wife will mostly likely get custody.

Yeah Mr. Bozo…..LOL…..I wonder if John Isner made the trip to Spain? Isner and Gimelstob parted ways, I imagine it may be interesting the next time Gimelstob provides commentary on one of Isner's matches. The only U.S. man that I've seen in Madrid (in pictures) is Jack Sock. Before Madrid, none of the U.S. men were in Europe on clay. Wow really? John got rid of the Bozo Gimelstob…LMAO…..LOLOLOLOL….I can't believe it…in shock…..I know that Steve Johnson was there but he lost in the first round…not surprised…his score was just shown during a woman's match…which btw started today and not tomorrow like I thought…the tournament that is….. I actually was watching the match when Dimitrov had his meltdown….It was awful. He had the match in hand up a set and a break and his game just went south. He was complaining about cramping which is ridiculous considering 2 sets hadn't been completed. Gimelstob kept saying it was nerves and thus his cramping….then he kept just spinning in his first serve and Gimelstob kept saying why is he not hitting his first serve hard…he has a powerful first serve…..Dimitrov did that with Monfils during the Miami tourney and no one who commented on the match mentioned it….I don't get why he was doing it either. Gimelstob was wondering if it was his coach telling him to do that because he hadn't before. Well anyways he lost the 2nd set which he should have won and in the third set he completed lost it…going down 5 love in minutes…..his first tantrum was after going down 3 love…he pounded his racquet on the court so hard that the court got full of small tiny particles of the racquet….LOL …after he went down 5 love his string broke…it kept breaking his strings…he went to change racquets and he lost it again….pounding the racquet on the ground and again he demolished it….LOL…..he got a point penalty…and Gimelstob said he did it again he is having a meltdown….he sat on the changeover since it was game since he lost the last point and was down love 40……the next game he was up and had a point to get one of the breaks back but lost the point and it went back to deuce…his racquet strings broke again…as he went to change racquets he told the umpire something and then picked up his racquet and started pounding it again to the ground….Gimelstob started yelling NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO….as Dimitrov continued pounding the racquet to the ground…LOLOL…it was something….and then Gimelstob said thats it that is the match……fans started booing…..it was a mess….LOL

Yeah Mr. Bozo…..LOL…..I wonder if John Isner made the trip to Spain?

Jon Prescott ex-Mike ATWT on movie of the night on Lifetime right now….

Tennis Channel begins coverage on Monday morning at 5 am. I might catch it tomorrow on ESPN3 even though I loath ESPN3….LOL

@DramatistDreamer I saw that Alexander had lost and I was like to WHO….LOL…then I saw it was Thiem and I was ok with it….LOL I watched Grigor's match against Ivo on the Tennis Channel. If Grigor can win tomorrow he will be back in the top 25….. I find it ridiculous for a tournament to start on a Sunday when the previous week tourney is still going on. Although the Mutua Madrid Open is one of my favorite clay court tournaments.

Harrison is all hype. Ryan just hits the ball hard with no game plan on the court.

Connor's triangle with Cal and Mark did a lot of damage to the character. I would have preferred her with Mark but she was already with Cal and they were a popular couple. I know why they would do a story with the three but Connor would have been better single and not attached to either Mark or Cal.

IMO ART Connor was vibrant, independent strong woman who came to Oakdale to get what was stolen from her by Lucinda. She did it marvelously completely making Lucinda looking like the biggest fool in Oakdale. As much as I loved what Connor did I felt bad for Lucinda. Thats more to do with the writing and the actors involved. After ART was replaced/Marland passed…..Connor became a weak, whining needy non business female pining for a man she really didn't need. She was fine on her own as a strong independent business woman.

DY needs to give it up already….he has a great win in a blue moon and then goes back to being downright awful.

Hadn't heard anything about Maria since The Tennis Channel mentioned her a while back. I can't believe Kei is already turning 27…yikes….I thought he would have won a major by now but it looks like its not going to happen. I was intrigued by the talk about how men's tennis is rather will dull…boring….and agreed that Roger is the one that brings it in but his game has only sparks left. Novak as I have said before is such a boring number 1 player in the world. He can huff and puff and win every tournament in the world but he will still be boring and never as popular as Roger or Nadal. I can hardly wait for someone who is actually fun to watch becomes number 1…..Grigor I am looking at you…..or Mr Thiem…..LOL

Hahahahaha….I wouldn't play either…reminds me of the days on the court when it was cold and I didnt want to be out on the tennis courts.
