Wow. I didn’t even think about this lol. Just 40 points but still lol.

I’m aware of it because I follow pretty much all of the guys on Instagram lol. (They provide lots of good material for the Daily Hotness thread.) Bolo and Skyh Black have been posting a lot about it. Seems like it’s better than that Vivica A. Fox garbage Chocolate City that aired on BET a few years back.

Yeah, it’s way too much too soon. Just calm down, folks. It’s a weird national inferiority complex, among other things. And where there’s money to be made, they won’t hold back. She’s a super lucrative commodity now, and like you say, ticks a lot of boxes that make her an object of fascination as well as potential scorn. She’s not a Brit, but Leylah may have dodged a bullet by not winning just yet.

I’m seeing that Emma might get an MBE or even an OBE (two steps down from being a Dame) for her USO title. These Brits go apesh!t for their sporting stars, especially in tennis.

Yeah, she had a panic attack during her match against Tomljanovic at Wimbledon and retired. The Queen has congratulated Emma: And William and Kate:

Leylah’s sister looks ready to throw hands. Leylah’s nod to 9/11 in her speech was perfect. Wow.

The British press are going to build Emma up just to tear her down. How they went after Jo Konta will look innocent by comparison.

I know. It’s unfortunate. I’d still be pissed, even if I couldn’t do anything about it. It’s a sucky turn of events when Leylah had all the momentum.

It’s just unfortunate. Leylah still looks PISSED. I would be too.

IMO Leylah is gassed right now and is playing an opponent who isn’t intimidated by her (or scared to lose to a teenager). Emma also takes a lot of her time away.

Emma drew first blood. I want this to go three sets. No one gives a fück about Tim Henman. Why are they talking to him in the middle of play?

This is fun stuff. They’ve had each other’s numbers. They haven’t wanted to talk much about each other in interviews or be too warm and fuzzy. A sizzling little rivalry. Leylah’s problem solving is top notch. Chrissie is spot on. They just want to beat each other.

Novak made it complicated at the end, but he still the most clutch athlete I’ve ever seen.

My pick. ESPN just cut to an American Express commercial during a rally. Clown stuff. None this year, I think due to COVID protocols. It’s Hawkeye Live.

Which is just sad. Frons-era ABCD is not something to aspire to. Didn’t exactly end well lol.

These electronic “out” calls are creepily lifelike. Novak looks injured. Sad.

I hadn’t noticed lol. She’s with her mom Anita, I believe, recuperating from her breakdown? But I think she’s coming back (MCE on maternity leave). She’s been seen on Zoom calls.

True.

All of UFEs from Novak are just gifts to Zverev. I can’t stand Chris Fowler. Wish he’d STFU.
