The FFT President was very clear that they don't give out wildcards to a player who is absent due to a doping suspension.

 

Unlike a smaller tournament in Stuttgart or Madrid, RG is a Major tournament that does not need to rely on any one player to sell tickets and get publicity. 

I imagine now that Wimbledon will follow RG's lead and not hand her any WCs. 

 

 

EDT. Speaking of Sharapova, Maria just retired from her match against Mirjana Lucic-Baroni.

 

I think this eliminates her chance of Direct Entry to the Main Draw through ranking. It's likely Qualies or Bust.

Ryan should just retire. He is a mediocre/poor player who got a career high ranking of 41 because of winning some challengers and winning a tourney with no real stars in it. He is a hot head who either over hits the ball or doesn't. Funny how TC now wants him to hit the ball harder again. That was his problem the last time. All he knew to do was hit hard. I am so tired of hearing that Ryan is a great person off the court. If they say it a million more times I might believe them.

Lord there is another one coming up?? And he plays exactly like Dominic. I got to see his match yesterday and his mom was present. She wasn't dressed up all regal like she was the last time I saw her. She had her hair down and wore jeans. Man does she look like Dominic!  They could be twins minus the blonde hair. Maybe that's why Dominic went blonde a couple of years ago but it just wasn't him without the dark hair.

Cillic vs Isner in the QFs

Please register in order to view this content

  Neither has done sh!t this year. Isner passes Cuevas in the ratings. Cuevas has had a better year....I guess since Isner loses every year in the first round ....getting to QFs zooms his ranking...LOLOLOLOL

 

Sam Querrey...you lost b!tch!

 

Jack Flab Sock....look at Querrey comment...same to you.   Yet Paul Annacone said he had a chance to win a set. Yeah...whatever.

 

Tennis Channel commentators: Oooooooooooo John Isner won!  Lets call him Hey there John we are covering a match but we had to call because you actually did good on clay....glad you are winning because we are pimping you even though you have never done sh!t on clay before.

 

John Isner: Oh yeah....I love clay....it is great for my shots(laughter from the audience that is watching this mess). I've always loved Italy...and played well in this tourney. Who the f uck is this guy and tennis channel fooling?

    • 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
