His bf has better abs/chest than he does. He has a nice smile too. JMG use to be really buff. He is not as hot as he use to be.....

 

He still looked good to me at the end of this clip. Older and plumper as expected for a fortysomething but still impressive.

The boyfriend is stunning, but is probably several years younger and has more melanin.

The man is as gay as a picnic basket. Does he appear shirtless? He had the ugliest serve and game.

JMG? He was shirtless in the one clip I saw.

JMG and his apparent partner Malek Alqadi. 

I was reading Joe Hagan’s Sticky Fingers bio of Rolling Stone founder Jann Wenner, but I keep getting sidetracked by other work projects. A pretty decent read so far.

Lol. I need to see if he addresses that on “My Tennis Life.” I totally doubt it, but I want to see...

EDIT: They totally don’t mention it as I expected. Those videos would be not at all worth watching if not for the gratuitous JMG eye candy.

Yeah, but that incident wasn't towards Schwartzman. He was breaking rackets not coming after Schwartzman.

The guy’s got a temper. At least he didn’t get all Jared Donaldson and have a tantrum.

I was watching the match but didn't see that particular point. I've never seen Grigor react that way after a match. I agree Chit....Grigor is love.....so that outburst with Busta surprised me.

It was more of a shocker than lame considering Grigor is such a nice guy.

I think he knew he should have won that match. We’ve seen antics from Grigor before (the Istanbul final with Schwartzman) that are OOC.

I saw that. Lame from Grigor but he’ll get over it.

Not watching the BH reunion, but Erika Jayne is getting dragged left and right on Twitter.

I’m digging Yuichi Sugita with the facial hair. There’s something Fognini-esque about him with the beard. EDIT: I just realized he’s wearing Fabio’s kit.

Jared Donaldson is having a rough go of it. Out in the first round of Barcelona to Dutra Silva. Saw that Sandgren was out to Jaziri.

Wow at these Stuttgart R1 matches 

NISHIKORI! With this win, he’s up to #22 in the world.

Nadal is looking pretty good.  

Too bad Djoker lost, but he's finding that form.  It will be great to see the elite finally make their way back...hell, even Andy.

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.

I when I heard their comments. Of course they'd make excuses for him.  I've never cared for Jared's game. It it too mechanical for my tastes. His game is too robotic. He will be lucky if he makes the top 30 in rankings. I can see him winning a cheap all American 250 event but that's about it. He seems like a nice guy but maybe his true colors showed today.

 

 

Oh and I LOVED Stefanos Tsitsipas beating Shapovalov. He is so overrated. Gimbelstob gushing over his game is ridiculous!

 

He only knows how to play one way if he is off he loses badly. If his game is on and he bashes every ball in the court he wins.

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.

Interesting that it didn't make the live coverage but was shown during TC Live after all the matches were done. If you didn't see TC live you wouldn't know that Jared acted like a damn idiot.....LOL

Supervisor....Supervisor...Supervisor....Supervisor.....LMAO

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.

Haha....+1....I had forgotten how hot he was but his game isn't going to cut it against the rest of the ATP tour. He has beaten some good guys but his serve still stinks....LOL

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.
