I saw things with Novak that looked promising, so I’m hopeful. Obviously his fitness isn’t all the way back, but I think getting back with Vajda will be helpful. Fingers crossed he stays the course. The one thing that’s been good about the time away is that fans are more appreciative of Novak and maybe even Andy. I’ll admit to wanting to have Andy back on tour. That’ll probably change pretty quickly once he starts scowling, cursing, and chirping at his box again lol, but he’s so effective at dismissing servebots.

Glad to see Nishikori back in elite form, but AGAIN he has to take the scenic route to victory against an injured player (Cilic) he should have easily beaten in straights, which is one reason he stays injured himself. Zverev had a surprisingly tough battle against Gasquet, so we’ll see what he can do. Nadal looks pretty unbeatable, though. Wow.

Opinion that I expect to be unpopular: I think they need another regular conservative (and not Ana Navarro) to balance out Meghan. She feels the burden of going up against Whoopi, Sunny, and especially Joy so much that she comes on like a Teamster. She *could* be tolerable. But they have a conservative “slot” on the show, and it’s too much for one person. I think even Jedediah felt it.

Everyone is going in on Sonja, and I’m loving every minute of it. Dorinda was AMPED.

These are awesome. Thanks @slick jones. Again, a wonderful historical resource.

Speaking of Shapovalov, I didn’t realize that the umpire (Arnaud Gabas) Jared was berating was the same guy Shapovalov nearly blinded in Davis Cup.

There’s a mark RIGHT. HERE. 😂 Dude lost it, in every sense of the word. I wonder how he’ll be disciplined for this. He actually got in the umpire’s face in an aggressive way. I heard Tracy and Justin were making excuses for him. At least the guys on Tennis TV actually called him out for his behavior.

Well Jared Donaldson acted a fool today. Will this be covered on the latest season of “My Tennis Life”? 😂

The role of Lisa Wu-Hartwell in the Nene/Kim battle will now be played by Kandi Burruss.

I’ve never rooted harder for Stevie Johnson in my life. And he almost fûcked it up. Hola!

Pablo Andujar is just lovely to look at, though, and it’s nice that he was able to string together so many wins after injuries.

No Delpo or Chung (smart scheduling), but Nadal’s quarter is stacked.

Kohlschreiber isn’t having a good week. Re: Houston. There’s almost no one rootable playing so I’m giving that a miss.

Drama in the Benoit Paire/Gilles Simon match in Marrakech.

Wow, there’s a lot of good stuff in that folder, not just Y&R. My oh my, Phil Morris was a stud. Just a gorgeous man.

Well, I guess Rafa put to rest any doubts about his health and form ahead of the clay season.

Crystal Fox is going to play Zoe Kravitz’s mom on the upcoming season of Big Little Lies.

So he was basically playing himself all those years ago in Bamboozled. I don’t follow him much, but I’ve seen him say some very stupid sh!t.
