Annnnd Goerges lets her off the hook... Wow at this stat:

That’s what I would have assumed as well. I’m gonna need Goerges to handle her biz today. Just saw Shapovalov lost a five-hour match to Roberto Caballes Baena and Sloane is also out to the Spanish player Badosa.

Indeed. I wonder if Pliskova will ever make another Slam final. Meanwhile, speaking of Siegemund:

Ostapenko apparently redlined over Pliskova. It would be hilarious if she won the whole thing again after not winning a single match at RG since lifting the trophy...

Was it Michael Maloney they were talking about, who used to write for SOD years ago? The OLTL writer’s last name is only the two syllables.

I could do without OC, NJ, and BH (even though the latter drives so much pop culture chatter). Dallas never registered for me. To be honest, only Potomac and, on a much lower level, NYC feel essential. I’m still somewhat invested in the dynamics of ATL, and we shall see if SLC lights a spark. Curious where these franchises will stand five years from now.

She’s already very developed for her age, but her upside is so high. That bottom quarter is cray.

😂 Meanwhile, I can’t with Kei. Even Michael Chang said that he loses focus during matches, which results in these long battles against lesser opponents which leaves his frail body with nothing in the tank when he goes up against the stronger top guys. Not saying Travaglia’s not a worthy player on clay, but it feels like more of the same. I suppose I should be less hard on him since he was off for a year with injury... Moot point: Travaglia won.

Lol wrong thread

During the VP debates, people will be asking, “Can’t these be our candidates?” Gawd.

💯 Trump’s attacks on Biden’s sons (including Beau) are sooo low. Americans watched Biden grieve.

Trainwreck.

Wow and they just released her biopic.

Kelly is being sued by her management company, which just happens to be run by her (soon-to-be former) father-in-law.

I was looking for an appropriate place to post this and thought, hey Vivica A. Fox is an ex-soap star (Y&R, Generations), so let me slide this here. This clip is making the rounds: Vivica co-hosts “Cocktails with Queens” alongside Claudia Jordan, Syleena Johnson, and LisaRaye. For LisaRaye’s birthday, her co-hosts decided to surprise her with an appearance from her sister Da Brat, who had gone public with her engagement to a woman earlier this year, ending years of speculation about her sexuality. The surprise appearance didn’t go so well (not because of Da Brat’s coming-out):

She looks amazing.
