I admit to not wanting to hear anything more from Sandgren at this point.  I really wouldn't mind if he'd be pushed back to the margins of the Challenger Tour, or better yet the Futures, where I really don't have to see him.

 

As for the U.S. Davis Cup, I don't intend to watch them at all.  I'm not sure why Courier et al. are clinging to that group, it's not like they've won anything.

Tennis Channel discussed the racist pig today. Interesting that they said he was going in hiding for a bit when arriving in the states....LOL. They showed and discussed Serena's tweet to him. How he said how anytime Serena lost was a good day. Just WOW at that statement. How he once stumbled into a gay bar and said no one needs to see that. And many many other things. Martina was rather hot under the collar. And made some bold statements towards him. Also, they said tennis players aren't happy about his comments. Jim Courier discussed how he already had used him as a practice partner for the Davis Cup Team

and what a nice person he was....whatever Jim.

 

On brighter news.....the Hall of Fame was announced and going in will be Helena Sakova(I know I misspelled that but too lazy to go google it...LOL) and Michael Stich. Martina teared up at Jana Novotna when her passing was discussed. BTW Helena was there in person discussing her Hall of Fame induction.

These types of homophobic straight guys always crack me up.  Like he was in such danger in a gay bar.  Yeah, you stumbled into a gay bar where....no one noticed you because you were undoubtedly the ugliest guy and worst dressed in there.  They think because they're straight every gay guy wants them.  So silly and ignorant.  Look in the mirror hun, you're not hot.  You're safe as can be.

TC showed a pic of him before he got his hair trimmed and cleaned. I can see why no at the gay bar gave him the time of day. I wouldn't want to date a caveman.

Former Tennis Pro Petr Korda's son is competing in the semis in the junior Australian Open Championship.  He is a right handed player while his dad was left handed player.

He is playing under the United States Flag. I guess Petr moved here with his wife(former tennis player too).

Yet, people are still trying to argue that women don't deserve equal prize money.  What a tired argument that I wish would evaporate.

 

James Blake was great in his response to an equal prize money curmudgeon.  His response was basically "You pay the same money for a 90 minute movie as for a 3 hour one".  Also, I'd add that not all three hour movies are good, while many 90 minute movies can be lean, tight and well told stories.

 

 

Yeah, I got up and after seeing that the match had already ended, wondered what happened then read that Chung had retired, which is certainly a disappointment but ranked at #58, he had a great tournament and I am sooo grateful that he put Sandgren out of the tournament.  For me, it was almost as satisfying as watching Venus bounce CoCo out of the tournament in the semis last year.

    • I feel like the show has been like this for the past 15 or more years, IMO. Things happen but there are never or RARELY any long-term impacts. Instead, everything (characters, history) is just reset to what it was before. In a couple of months, Hope will be working at Forrester again. No one will ever mention the takeover. Brooke and Ridge will be back together for the millionth time, etc etc.  It's hard to get invested in a story when you know this is how the show works.
    • Martin and Smitty's kids not being there seemed like a glaring omission. Also, Naomi and Jacob weren't there as well. I know some of this is probably budget, but it seems like there could be a way to still have them all there.
    • Thanks so much for finding this & posting it. This makes me so angry!!!
    • Dani had a flashback of Dani getting ready for an event with Bill. The gown she wore in the flashback was light green and elegant and gorgeous. The light green flashback dress was quite different than the red/orange/lilac swirling print beaded gown that Dani is wearing to Nicole's anniversary party.   But there was clearly the show's intention to have the Dupree women (except for Nicole) wearing shades of red.   I love Anita but the red gown that she's wearing to the anniversary party -- not flattering.
    • I think you can find them here https://www.tumblr.com/tagged/OLTL What's there is recaps from SOD at the times it shows which is usually from way back up till 2003. Most if not all of this is due to Matt Smith who you may recall from his AW playlists on YoutTube. 
    • Party wardrobe color theme: Good Queen Nicole is in a solid gold gown. The other Dupree women (plus Smitty) are wearing shades of red/pink (with purple accents) -- Anita, Dani, Chelsea, Kat, in dresses. -- Smitty in white shirt and maroon jacket. (did not see Naomi?) "The help" Eva and Mona are in black. Antagonist queen Leslie/Dana in a black/gold gown. The men (except for Smitty) are wearing black. Ted - white shirt, black tie, black jacket. (Ted's jacket was shiny with back polka dots on black background) Vernon - black turtleneck, white dress shirt over it, black jacket (no tie). Andre - black T-shirt, gold chain, black jacket. Martin - black shirt, black tie, black jacket. Dr. Carlton Fitzgerald - white shirt, black tie, black jacket. (did not see Jacob?) I didn't see Naomi and Jacob at the party, but perhaps they arrive later? The evening is not over yet.
    • Tate seems to love throwing punches now

      I enjoyed his scenes with Johnny. Both of their perspectives make perfect sense to me and are completely relatable. There’s no right or wrong person in this situation and I like that. LH  does pretty well when Tate is angry too, but I also liked the way that he comforted Johnny in the end. Days is finally remembering that they’re cousins. And, Johnny looked hot in the beginning   Btw, Johnny going to work for Xander? That could be interesting. And, also can cause some more animosity between him and EJ.  And again, Marlena/Belle were great. Scenes like theirs really seem to be commonplace under Paula/Jeanne and I couldn’t be happier that they are. It’s helps us get a much better understanding of these characters and why they do the things that they do and feel the way that they feel. Marlena supporting Belle was a bit of surprise, considering her insane reaction when she walked in on EJ and Belle, but I also feel that it’s totally in character for her, both as a psychiatrist and as Belle’s mother.  As for Sophia and Amy… I miss the first Sophia lol but I can’t help but think that Amy suddenly being so nice is foreshadowing of something. Either that, or Paula/Jeanne aren’t biased against her
    • @alwaysAMC Great mini-review as always.  That Gilly story is...certainly one I could not forget... I imagine a number of viewers were shocked with the temporary recast. It was revealed in the soap magazines, as was the news about Frank Beaty's breakdown, I think. I think Wolf had some statements or an interview at the time but very little. I wish someone could interview him. He did a good job under extremely tough circumstances.  For some reason I have a vague memory of him in the Marian getup but that's probably not right.  I'm glad you have appreciated the material with Susan after a shaky start. I always enjoyed her, and she was the only love interest I liked Nick with. 
    • How did this come to be?
