Frances Tiafoe wins a Challenger title on red clay in Aix-en-Provence over Jeremy Chardy in 3 sets (the final set went to a TB).  He now moves up to #70 in the rankings.

 

EDT. Actually according to Brad Gilbert, Frances will move up to #65 in the rankings. At 19 years old, that's not bad at all!

Grrrrr at Rafa winning.....with win he goes to #4 in the world passing Roger.

 

Thiem is at #7 which ties his highest ranking from last year. Had he won the tourney he'd have hit a new high of #6.

 

Italian Open already started this morning before the Madrid Final

He better do well on the grass cause Nadal has surpassed him in the rankings.  I didn't think he had a chance to win the French anyways.  Not a real surprise since he was playing with Wimbledon balls in practice....LOL.

 

Loving the Dimitrov vs Del Po match.

No wonder Ryan Harrison and Jared Donaldson are in the bottom of the rankings. Ryan complained almost the whole match and of course he was losing at the time and then Jared started the same complaining but now he was losing. Yes, the courts suck but that's not the fault of the umpire. Ryan was so smug after beating Jared that it was disgusting. He had a big smirk after shaking Jared's hand and then Jared goes off on the umpire saying the f word and other cuss words to him. No class at all by both Americans.

Former male tennis player comes out. I remember Brian on the tour. He has a good looking hubby.

I was shocked that she didn't even get a WC for qualifying. It is obvious the French Open did not want her there at all.

Gimelstob is a bozo loser. Is he the only male on TC that crosses his legs?...LOL  Is he not endowed and embarrassed by his package?....LOL  I thought only gay guys crossed their legs?....LOL

 

I can't stand Gimelstob. Why is he still on TC. He said he was going to Italy. I am sure he is going to see his son John Isner. He seems to have a hard on for him.

    • 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. 
    • Do we think Shelley Curtis is the director KM said was brought out of retirement to help them set up the production side of BTG?
    • 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.
    • I really like Paul Telfer a lot.   But I loathe Xander!
    • OK. No harm done. Agree to disagree... (Even thought I'm not sure about what...

      ) 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
