Yup....he lost his cool. I don't know why he lost focus. He had the match won and poof he completely imploded. Everyone knew he wasn't injured and was stalling so darkness could be called in the match.

Wawrinka lost in R1 to Garcia-Lopez, and his ranking has plummeted to 256. He’ll get tons of wild cards, though.

 

Sevastova lost to Duque-Mariño. I can only imagine the drama on-court.

 

Saw that Baghdatis was up 6-4, 4-3 on Giraldo but got injured and had to retire. Really awful luck.

Bolelli could have gone away like Zverev did in the Rome final, but he held firm and pushed things to a tough long TB. Very impressive. I too think Rafa looks off. It wouldn’t surprise me if he pulled out due to an injury à la 2016. But it also wouldn’t surprise me if he steamrolled to another title. But he looks... vulnerable.

She looked much better! Her movement isn’t completely back, especially when protecting her second serve, but the ability to shift to another gear when necessary seems close to her previous level. Good match to work her way into the tournament.

He was an ass to the umpire. I am glad he lost and wasn't surprised. Everyone on social media is laughing and shading Sock after his loss. Comments like he is an awful player ….etc etc….I wish TC would stop pimping him. He will never do anything in his career. Jim Courier was awful today. Going on and on about how great his forehand is and how great he is on clay…..whatever…..

 

Zopp btw is a cutie. He looked mighty good shirtless too. I had to LOL at the female calling their match…."I see it's change shirt time….mmmm..thanks guys for the view….."……LOLOL

Tennis Channel is re airing the whole coverage again now and Serena will be shown around 8pm eastern time. 

I thought she was ok…nothing great but nothing bad either. But WTF was she wearing?

That catsuit was likely a throwback to the catsuit she wore at the 2002 US Open.  She said she felt empowered wearing it. Hey, whatever helps the mindset, right?

 

Kristyna Pliskova is not a bad first round opponent to have to ease into the tournament.  Challenging enough but far from a relentless opponent.

I doubt that Nike will sell this to the consumer market, so it doesn't really matter whether it's to everyone's taste.

Besides, with the bevy of sexual harassment and misogyny issues that the company is now having, one catsuit is the least of their problems right now.

    • 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.
