Serena says she will be returning in 2018.

 

Andy's upset earlier this morning made me

Novak should have lost again. I had to LOL at TC comments on his playing and how some of his shots were WTF moments....hahahahaha.....I am thinking Goffin will beat him tomorrow....I was hoping for a Thiem win but oh well....

 

I knew Cuevas was going to beat Stan.

Stan has to be motivated and probably didn't give a damn...LOL.  Cuevas has been playing good ball lately and he is a dirt baller. He can be out there all day if necessary that's why I picked him to win over Stan.  Stan won Monte Carlo back in 2014...his only 1000 masters win.

And he's won Monte Carlo already. I think his next prize is Wimbledon. I am sure he will be motivated for that one. The only major he hasn't won.

 

 

Speaking of motivation....it sure looks like Novak is totally out there just to be there. His game is all over the place and seems not to care anymore. He should retire if he doesn't want to be out there anymore.

Some of Novak's fans are out of control on social media, seizing on other players to verbally attack. Why not take the high road??

 

Ilie Nastase is getting dragged for his disgusting behavior at the draw ceremony for Fed Cup (Romania vs. Great Britain) even hitting on a pregnant Anne Keothavong (GB's coach) and making coarse remarks about Serena's unborn child.  

He's been doing this kind of thing for decades, from what I've read...why is he still allowed to persist?!

They get all over Kyrgios but they can't get a hold of Nastase???

Yeah, I heard quite some time ago that baby #2 is on the way.  

A few #Nolefam were basically saying "Who cares whether or not Serena comes back?" trying to attach their remarks to some remarks that Vesnina and another player made about how at 35, Serena couldn't be at the top forever. Vesnina joked (supposedly) that she wished Serena would stay in long enough for Vesnina to beat her (keep dreaming, girl). These sourpuss fans took their remarks and ran with it- to state that nobody cared if Serena returned or not.

Some fans responded that, well, ticket buyers and many fans care since Serena often fills stadiums and sell lots of tickets.

 

I get that these fans are in a foul mood- it never feels good when your fave loses, and to boot, the crowd seemed to be with Goffin more- but what does Serena have to do with any of it? Why throw her in the mix? These folks sound so bitter and ridiculous.

Ha...the few fans Nole has are awful. I see them popping up on social media. Without Serena women's tennis is going to suffer. I hope Venus can take Wimbledon and the US Open this year. Vesnina sucks...her winning IW was a fluke. She hasn't done squat since....losing in the first round....LOLOL. I wish someone would tell her to shut with those noises she makes when hitting the ball. Even Tennis Channel has made fun of those noises she makes.

 

As for Nole...he is playing/acting like when he was ranked #3 in the world. Losing matches and out of breath....LOL

    • Ashley just wants to schtup Andre. She needed to create a big meltdown in order to get rid of Derek and feel no guilt. Doug needed to lay Joey out on the floor. He needs to get some courage and beat Joey down to the ground. Kat turning down a date with Tomas to see if Eva was locked up is a sign she's going to lose him. Even without Eva in the picture she was going to have problems. The way she talked to him when he bumped into her and she didn't know it was him seemed to be a red flag too. Leslie has revealed a whole lot of the truth on her own. Without her making all those comments to Kat she wouldn't have ended up at the police station.

    • TBH the only soap I remotely liked Cady on was ATWT   I dunno WTH she's doing with Pamela on this show but it's cringe beyond words
    • Kelli Giddish (Di Henry, AMC) has been reinstated as a regular in her popular role on Law & Order: SVU after a few seasons off.

      ) Anyways... I did really feel disgusted by Eurovision this year and I doubt I'll watch this horrific musical torture in the future. My ears and my psyche will not survive.  
    • Regarding the mobster storyline: The scripts, the cardroom set, and the writing for Joey -- are all terrible. They seem to be writing a realistic depiction of compulsive gambling as an addiction, showing that it pops into his head all the time -- it has become hardwired into his brain.  The APA (American Psychological Association) describes compulsive gambling as having a similar effect on the physical brain as drug and alcohol addiction. https://www.apa.org/monitor/2023/07/how-gambling-affects-the-brain I think Jason Graham (Doug) is doing an adequate job playing Doug as a compulsive gambler, with the thoughts/urges coming into his head all the time, and being unable to stop. However, the cardroom set is awful and the mobster storyline is a bad cliché, so it's all so uninteresting to watch. I think Mr. Graham is doing the best he can with the crap they gave him to work with. If anyone reading or watching has a gambling issue, check out Gamblers Anonymous.  They have many types of meetings -- in-person, online, video, audio, etc.  They also have resources for friends/family of compulsive gamblers.
    • Today was painful (especially for Philip).  I still feel for Xander. He was clear he was happy sharing and working with Philip. It's just one more betrayal from someone he loved. Going back to last year when he found out about Victor and Fiona, then Alex and Philip. He forgave and tried. Then Philip went behind his back again. He's been walking on the edge for weeks. This is a man who was abused, neglected and has never had any therapy for his horrific past. He has zero coping skills because he's never learned them. I hate this but I refuse to hate Xander
