ESPN literally went on to list the myriad of coaches that Milos has had before the commentators then discussed the possibility of Milos either searching for the right fit and not afraid of change but not before one (Chris what's-his-name again) proposed that perhaps the problem rested with Milos himself and the possibility that Milos was a very deep thinker, perhaps too much so.  Then Patrick suggests that Milos has a very "straightforward" game and shouldn't need to overthink anything.

 

These guys are exhausting.  I'm glad I don't often have to listen to them.

I know Twitter has changed its Trending Topics algorithm, but I feel like a year ago that Fed/Coric match would have trended, even with March Madness going on. Did it for anyone else? I feel like interest in the game is flagging.

 

EDIT: Never mind. Federer is trending for me now.

I haven't seen the match yet but they made fun of Milos yesterday too. They said he was fat and then joked that maybe he was eating one too many donuts in Canada. He does look very bloated. I am not a fan at all but making fun of him two days in row is low even for ESPN.

I really wish Borna would've won. I am truly sick of Fed and his fans. Even though I can't stand his game or him....I understand why Novak had a good record against Roger. If Murray and Novak were still healthy....Roger wouldn't have won any more majors.

Both ESPN and TC are horrible in their coverage of tennis. The only one I truly enjoy that has no biases is Bill Macatee.  I think he is the best out of all the litter. I miss when he use to call the US Open for CBS. Now he does the Australian and French Open for TC. 

 

As for Milos ...he is all serve. He is too slow and needs more than just a serve to compete....just look at Isner.....

Just imagine them saying that about Marion Bartoli. They’d be fired.

 

When you play Federer, you play him *and* his fans. I can understand how it can be intimidating. The younger generation of tennis players is still in awe of him, whereas Nadal, Murray, and Djokovic saw beating him as a challenge they tirelessly pursued. And Djokovic especially used the crowd’s dislike as fuel.

Hell one of them was Pam that was making fun of Milos. And I think it was either Brad or Patrick(the loser that he is) that made the joke about the donut. I don't know who it was today but I plan on seeing the match either today or tomorrow.

See Roger has trouble getting the ball past these guys thus losing to them until now. The same was happening to him against Borna. Had Borna not made so many errors at the end of both sets he would've won. Roger can't handle steady backboard players. He starts spraying balls.

I hope he wins too! Today's easy match win should help him out for tomorrow. I am hoping Roger is exhausted from today's match with Borna.

 

I have feeling both or one will pull out next week in Miami.

 

And after today's performance against Borna....I don't see Roger playing the clay court season at all. He will lose.

Me either...I just had it as background noise and saw that they won and then John Isner said that Tommy Haas was the hottest tournament director on tour

      Poor Philip. I appreciate how seriously his and Xander’s scenes were taken though. It felt like real drama and not like a big joke. You could actually feel Xander’s pain and anger. It adds another dynamic to the Kiriakis family storylines and I’m looking forward to the effects that this is going to have across the canvas. I can see them weaving Kate and Roman into this storyline as well. And it would be really nice if this somehow helped cause conflict for Stephanie/Alex too, especially because of what Alex did today. With any luck, Stephanie will be furious about it.  And I’m glad that Sarah has Maggie to confide in about her secret. I also liked seeing Steve and Shawn (and their matching jackets

      ) continue to be on the case. Kevin, revealing everything to them is another interesting turn in this storyline. Plus, it seems the writing has improved for Shawn as well.

      TBF, I don't think we've seen her interact enough with the "have-nots" to know if she is or isn't. It's possible, but I don't think you can say that from her interactions with Eva and Silkpress.

      You're right - though I did confuse his name with an actual actor who was on Dynasty.

      "Might" is not "is". And I was talking about the specific case about her attitude to Eva.

      But she can still be a priveliged elitist. She might have the same attitude to anyone from 'the wrong side of the tracks' whether they had an agenda or not. Nicole seems to be an outlier in her family.Her parents, kids and sister seem to think themselves above reproach.

      Damian's clothes have definitely been a specific look -kinda reads 70's pimp to me . I guess it's a trend?? but it seems more suited to Holden. JR is 51  and I guess Damian is supposed to be a little younger but it looks a little odd on him in my book. But at least they're trying. The men's clothing has been bland/generic for years-either suits or basic casual stuff interchangeable  b/w them.
