Poor Gäel, he really needs to get his ranking up so he doesn't get such an unforgiving draw! Annoyingly persistant Stepanek in the 1st round, now Djokovic. Ugh. The best Monf can hope for is that Nolé will still have honeymoon lapses but I wouldn't count on it. Plus, Novak's gotta earn that baby money now (LOL).

I didn't see the Bouchard/Rogers match but I heard Bouchard was having a meltdown in the 1st set. Is this true?

Yes! And yes, the Canadian crowd are monsters! They are very poor sports :( :( :(

As for Sock, have you noticed he's the sole beneficiary of the Slock relationships? His game has come leaps and bounds but Sloane can't buy a match! Time for her to end this with Sock and focus on Tennis or end Tennis and do something else.

Wow! I just knew Milos would try and run away with that 3rd set. I dozed off and woke up to see that Lopez ousted him. Hope the Canadian crowd learns a lesson. They are very poor sports. A really disgusting crowd! A good point is a good point no matter who wins it.

Venus vs Serena today. I'm not leaving this house unless its on fire! The last time they played, Venus was barely playing decent Tennis. Now, she's beating top ten players. Didn't watch S vs Woz because when S is playing bad Tennis, that's a turn off to me.

Vika ousted by Aga? Second time this year. Before, Aga couldn't buy a match against her former friend.

Best part, no Bitchard to confuse folks! Yay!

Although I like Fed, YAY Tsonga!

Venus is a class act. Aga could learn a thing or two from her about humility based on Aga's skirmishes with Azarenka and a few other players in her age group.

I was hoping Venus would win but she played great tennis every match except today. And I'm so glad she finally vanquished the likes of Angeliqe Kerber and Carla Suarez Navarro who had gotten the best of her that last few times she played them. And yes, I even include dearly beloved Serena in that last of people I'm happy she got the W against. I'm sort of irritated at all the comments online about how Serena supposedly eased up on Venus-- hey, if Serena were truly trying to do a 'solid' she would've bowed out in 2 sets but Serena hates to lose, so I don't buy that theory. Now I believe playing Venus makes her uncomfortable but I don't believe she would intentional bow to her sister.

Anyway, I hope that both Tsonga and Venus will have a terrific summer hardcourt season and U.S. Open.

What is up with that Star Wars music at the T.O. Masters Tournament?huh.png

I was hoping Fed would have won. Tsong moves to 10 in the world. It sure looked like he was going south and out of the top 20.

Damn...I wanted Venus to win. I dont care for Aga..and she never beats the players I want her to beat anyways.

Cincy tournament starts airing tomorrow on Tennis Channel at 930 am.....matches have already started today.blink.png

Another big tournament with 1000 points available to the winner.

      Leslie to Kat: "The only branch that I want is the one that goes across your behind for your insolence" LOL...if Leslie was her stepmother, she'd have whooped her disobedient azz
    • I really love Chelsea's eyerolls.  At Dani last week, and at Hayley today.
    • I thought that was hilarious too! This was at the point they started to mellow out Lisa....I wonder if Fulton fought this or if she liked that her character could change. It seems now Joyce is getting all of Lisa's trouble making stories, and now Natalie has become the vixen slutting around town. I would love to see some Natalie videos.

    •  Yeah, he is still dressed like Martin. He looks great, though.  Cute picture. Sober up, cause we need the tea.
    • Well, Claire did rig Rick's test results, but it was to flunk. They actually managed to get his correct results back after they were thrown into Cedar's furnace...I think? Everyone knew Claire changed them and Rick passed so that rewrite never made sense.   I agree. Pratt always seems "edgy" on screen (and her Locker Room interview prooved that it came from her personality.) I liked Claire causeing trouble and love Meta ringing her beads. Its just too bad that Abby left and they kinda just forgot Claire existed. 
    • Oh so they did sleep together. The retcon was just the medical boards? That makes sense. I think Susan Pratt, while a good actress, was just an unlikeable presence onscreen and soaps wrote to that most of the time. There was some potential for more with her when she returned in that stint, as Pratt was at least interesting to watch and caused some conflict for the stifled Bauers. Instead of pairing her with Alan and then disappearing I might have had her hook up with Danny. I think there was a lot of flirtation with Bolger's Philip, but they never crossed the line.
    • I haven't seen Melchior in the role, but it would be astounding if she's worse than Linn. Her rivalry with Stephanie was sidelined IMO because Linn was one of the few actors who didn't have chemistry with, nor raise her game, when paired with Susan Flannery. To be fair, she did show some signs of life in scenes opposite Darlene Connelly, but way too little too late. It feels like Bell finally woke up after the Thorne switchover and sidelined the Kristin character with Mick to 1 or 2 appearances a week. As a result, the show improved by leaps and bounds after she was inexplicably at the center of the show for most of 1989. Margo is so much more enjoyable when not tied to that albatross. Even Clarke is watchable with less Kristin interaction. She can't exit stage left soon enough. As for the new Thorne, I agree that Norcross feels like a Forrester a lot more than Thrachta, even if the latter is a better actor.
