Thiem wins again! Sasha wins too and moves to #34 in the rankings past Grigor who continues to drop and is now at #38. Looks like Kei is injured again. I don't see him winning a major anymore. I think Thiem will pass him in the ratings by the end of the summer. Can Justin Gimelstob STFU?? He was commentating on John Isner's match and still acts like he is his coach…..then he was saying John had the best shot in tennis which was his serve….Mary Carillo shut him down….LOL….said his return wasn't very good and thus why Serena is better than him and John's lack of success….LOL…..Justin made some comment how Serena's serve wasn't as good as John's…..

I am just surprised that Berdych got rid of DV so fast….considering how long he had lasted with his previous and only coach. And him wearing his wedding ring when he wasn't before looks odd…….As for Feliciano …I am sure Judy Murray is doing cartwheels at the news….LOL…and so is every gay male who watches tennis…..LOL. Grigor has had more gf's…than wins on the tour lately…..LOL…..He can't have both….he is a player that can't have the females around him and concentrate on tennis….it really is a shame that he isn't giving it 100% in getting his game back on track. Stan has never been good in grass…he looks funny playing on grass…so not surprised that Fernando won….I saw the match and Fernando played well.

Lundgren is coaching one of the new male stars…I forget which one. You know its bad when Lendl goes back to Murray and doesn't give you a call saying hey I am available again….LOL. I have a feeling a lot of people on the tour and off the tour agree with McEnroe when he said that Berdych doesn't really want it that bad. Once again today he lost a match to Baggy which he should have beaten. He is still at #8 in the world but if Raonic does well in the tune up to Wimbledon he will overtake him and Berdych will drop to number 9. With 3 to 4 other guys real close in points to him …Berdych could drop out of the top 10 just like Ferrer did. I don't see Ferrer returning to the top 10. The guys ahead are younger and just too good. And Grigor lost another first round match today….sigh….so much promise wasted…..

He is doing great! There was an article today about Federer and how this might be the end for him because of his two loses against Thiem and his injures this year. I'll say maybe 2 years with him. Did you hear what McEnroe said about Berdych during the French? He pretty much blasted him on not really wanting to win a major. I wonder if Berdych heard about it. And who is his new coach? I laughed when Mary Carillo said she had no idea who the man was coaching him….and Lyndsay Davenport said the same thing….LOLOL He is a mystery man. I also noticed that once Valleverdu left….Berdych started wearing his wedding ring on his finger instead of his shoe lace. I found that odd and maybe telling?? And he started playing the tennis he should have been playing except in the Quarters where he ran out of gas...

Thiem wins again!

Flavia looks gorgeous! She looks so much better than Berdych's trashy wife did with her underwear wedding dress..…LOL. That would have been a great wedding to attend. And Dominic Thiem is looking great again this week! Murray has hired Lendl again as his coach. I am sure somewhere right now Tomas Berdych is yelling and screaming…LOL

Here is a scene with Rick Ryan. Dee Stewart is also in the scene. I always liked the actress who played Dee. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vqDGM4dB2XU Here is a scene with Rick and Bob https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aGFuwPSYVgY

True. I just believe that if Craig turning evil again was shown on the shown instead of him coming back to Oakdale with a plot and scheme would've probably made older fans buy it more. I do believe that Rick would've been more reasonable over Craig to be the show's pariah. I feel like when Scott Bryce came back that they should've restored Craig to the leading man he was under Marland. They could've made someone else the pariah. Nah, Goutman wanted Craig hated but the audience wasn't buy it. I forgot what the story was at the time. I tend to forget stories that insult my intelligence. Since fans/viewers were on Craig's side he blamed it on Bryce's acting. So he fired him. Fans that were left watching, which I assume were the long term viewers, knew Bryce's Craig very well and thus his reasons for doing things. They had come to love his version of Craig so putting him in inept story that made him the villain was going to fly with long term fans.

Its believable and not believable that Craig did those crimes. Remember Craig put a bomb in Steve's truck only to be the one who got caught in it. During his time in prison he begged for forgiveness from his mom….he later got out of prison and changed…don't recall if it was Marland or SBH who redeemed him. He didnt have any signs of going back to the dark side until Goutman and Sheffer took over. I mean it is believable he would turn evil again by his past but for the longest time he was prince charming and Steve became the villain by Marland. I never understood why they didnt keep Rick Ryan on longer with ATWT considering he had a sister in the canvas.

Tennis Channel was discussing it today and they mentioned how Maria didnt put on paper that she was taking meldonium. She is lucky she only got 2 years. I don't know why she is appealing it.

Tennis Channel had the breaking news this morning. By the time the ban is lifted Serena will probably no longer be playing. Maria might as well just retire. As for tennis….Stefan Kozlov beat pathetic Stevie Johnson in a tune up grass court tournament. Stefan is in the quarters…good for him.

I keep waiting for JVA to say I'm Valene…..LOL…….she looks so much like Sharon Case's mother ….LOL Poor Ted Shakelford …he looks like sh!t! And Kevin Dobson doesn't look much better…neither has aged well.

Blah can't stand him. I was hoping Murray would win. Hey at least the French now love him because the rest of the world doesn't ……LOL He may have all the grand slams now but he will never have what he really wants….to be just as popular or more popular than Roger and Rafa….it will never happen.

Not surprised Serena lost. She seemed injured and Muguruza is a good player. Serena is running on fumes. As soon as she gets 22 she is gone……just like Steffy did at the French Open….I see Serena maybe playing one more year and thats it. Poor Thiem…..I thought he was going to win it all….now we are left with boring rope a dope tennis as many describe it with Murray and Novak…..I really hope Murray takes it just because Novak is the worst of two evils….LOL. I can't stand Novak and how he continues to try to be popular with no success….he should have been disqualified anyways..when he almost hit the linesman with the tennis ball…he brushed it off after the match….heard he got angry….and then his behavior with the umpire and moving him away from the court…..some say it was pushing but since he is number 1 they are letting it slide again and saying it wasn't…whatever… Novak has the been the worst #1 the ATP tour has had…..he cries and yells because fans don't see him as more popular than his opponents https://www.yahoo.com/news/why-sean-mcenroe-changed-name-160006453.html

Tad Channing finds out that Lily is really Iva's daughter. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n7gcUrStVrk

The new cast for next year was on yesterday I believe. It was Whoopi, Sarah Haines, Joy Behar, Sonny Hostin and Paula Faris.

Speaking of Sara Haines…her hubby is gorgeous…..teehee...

Michelle was never there anyways….I actually liked Raven and Candace eh…..

Was just shown on Billboard Music Awards…love the song!

The men's draw looks good with a lot of great matches ….Fritz vs Coric ..first round…….Berdych vs Pospisil…..1st round…... Thiem has a tough draw to just get to Nadal...

Even back in early 86 they were starting the Hal/Margo/Tom triangle…..who in the world would have chosen Hal over Gregg Marx's Tom? No contest.
