I was so disappointed in his play today. I think it was the worse match he's had with Rafa this year. He broke in the first game but didn't put the pressure on him. He was over hitting and not moving the ball around like he did in Italy. It seems like Thiem can't get up for two matches. He has a big win and can't back it up in Italy or Paris. IMO he is still thinking/celebrating his previous win during his match. He did say in his interview that it was good clay season for him but a failure because he didn't win Paris. I thought he didn't angle the ball enough against Rafa and way too much over hitting like one of their over meetings. The match wasn't even close unless you count that 2nd set.

 

Can John McEnroe shut up?? Gawd he was pooping all over Thiem during the match. On how he couldn't stay with Nadal .....how he couldn't win blasting him off the court. Ummmm...that's how he beat him in Italy by blasting him off the court. Then saying how he had given up ....had shrug shoulders in the second set where Mary shut him up saying that he wasn't. Then he said that Thiem would burn out the rest of the season and do nothing and he wouldn't be a the top of the ATP race which he is at #3. Does he expect Murray and Novak to challenge him? Neither has played worth a [!@#$%^&*] this year. Talk about trashing a player. John sure did with Thiem today.

 

 

As for Stan....thank gawd he won. I thought he was going to lose after being in control during the match. I could not take a Nadal vs Murray final. Murray is such a boring #1 player. I hope Stan beats Nadal. I am so sick of Nadal winning the French.

 

Btw with the win Novak drops to #4 in the world.....LOL

 

The winner of Stan and Nadal becomes the #2 player behind Murray.

Also Thiem had the roughest draw first Novak and then Rafa......

 

Rafa hadn't played anyone.....and Murray and Stan had easy draws to get to the semis

 

Like Mary said its not his time yet but he will win it.

I saw the first set and thought Halep was going to take it. I DVR the rest and to find out that she was up 3-0 with a chance to break to go up 4-0....wow....that's bad. Jelena reminds a lot of Ana Ivanovic...I see her as a one hit slam wonder too. Her serve is awful and Mary Carillo kept saying how all her serves were going straight down the tee on both sides of the court. Halep should just have parked herself there and slammed the ball for a winner everytime.

There is a high probability that Ostapenko could turn out to be an Ivanovic or a Majoli and there is the same likelihood that she'll have always have one major more than Halep will ever have.

 

I'm not sure what Halep's problem is at this point and I'm no longer interested in finding out. Her ignorant remarks on equal prize money lead me to believe that perhaps she has a self-esteem issue.  She's going to have to figure it out on her own and solve it.

I'll be watching other players who actually know their worth and talk, act and play like it.

ESPN might also need as much Meldonium as Sharapova since they made a deal to stream Wimbledon qualies for the first time ever, pretty much based on the announcement that Sharapova had made that she would be playing qualifying.

 

Oops.

 

Does this mean that they won't try to back out of this though?

      BTG: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      By ReddFoxx · Posted

      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?

      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
