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?

      Today's episode was pretty lousy -- definitely the worst in a while. -- Ashley is awful beyond words. I hope Derek dumps her basic ass. Scratches on the fridge? First of all, can someone in production put te refrigerator hinges on the right side??? The door doesn't even open into the kitchen area.      Second, if you're going to make a BIG FCKING DEAL out of a scratch, then show the damn scratch. They didn't, and it was stupid. Also, the lack of product placement WHEN DEREK WAS CLEANING made no sense. Is he too dumb to use P&G products? -- Ashley's treatment of Derek is despicable. If a guy treated a woman this way, this board would be screaming abuse. She acted like a spoiled brat, and I have NEVER gotten the idea that she loves Derek. -- And then Ashley -- the new super nurse -- calls off work because she had a meltdown over a scratch and a leftover??? And goes to a bar??? Jesus. What terrible writing. -- For me, Ben Gavin (Derek) was MUCH better today than Jen Jacob (Ashley). -- Also bad...Cady McClain. I don't know what she's doing, but she needs to stop it. She's terrible in this role, and BTG should get rid of that character. She doesn't work. -- Vanessa has been turned into a complete slut. Messing with Diego? OK. But now they're writing her like she can't keep her legs closed.     And then she talks with Doug, acts like they've figured things out, then walks away without asking Doug WHAT he's hididng from her. -- Dani and Andre look good in bed, but let's move on, OK? Just seeing those two have hot sex isn't enough. I don't think Dani's reason for not going public with him make any sense, either. More bad writing. -- Today we got a discussion of Tomas' tattoos. You mean Kat has never seen the guy's arms before? Huh? More bad writing. -- Also, I still can't believe Alex Alegria (Tomas) has been acting for well over a decade. Jesus. -- Why would Ted give Eva a photo of herself for her birthday? WTF was that? -- Dana and Jacob were decent. Those were the only scenes that made sense. Last week was great, but we're off to a really slow start this week.

      This episode was not it! Derek really cleaned a stainless steel fridge with a scouring pad? Is this grown ass man an idiot? You can't tell me he wouldnt realize this is a bad idea considering he just talked about taking good care of his car. I'm sure he'd know not to take a scouring pad to the exterior of his car and why.  Ashley's annoyance was fine, but she took it to an extreme that was unnecessary and made her even more annoying and intolerable. Derek even went out of his way to offer to replace it and then made the effort to buff out the scratches. She really is unlikable...also, where did yall say you've seen her before and that she was good...because today's performance was giving mid.  "I'm a boy scout...I follow every lead..." Excuse me, Jacob. Why couldn't he just say he's thorough. It was an odd thing to say. Even figuratively, I wouldn't think of using that term in this instance. Diego, a model? I'm sorry, but let's be reasonable here.  Another weird moment was Tomas guilting Kat for choosing to put her half-sister in jail over dinner with him. We can all agree that Kat was gunning for Eva since day one and doing too much, but the girl actually thinks and has incriminating audio that Eva may have tried to kill someone and boy is being a pick me. I can't.  There was another really strange moment early on that I completely just blanked on. I think this has been my least favorite episode since the premiere. The good: Pamela and Dani showing off their friendship was cute. As much as I hate that casino, their moments together were nice.

      Oh lawd Steffy invited that bland b*tch back to Forrester. Thankfully she said all isn't forgiven and her flop line isn't returning.  Liam was so annoying toyda like a kid in a car asking over and over "are we there yet?"
