Another tournament, another first round loss for Sock. I wonder if he’ll repeat last year and vulture a late-season title when everyone else is injured.

 

Hmm, Dominic, ya think? Good that he’s coming around to the realization that he needs to pace himself if he wants to succeed beyond the clay courts.

And Sock was up 2 sets to none...LMAO....LOLOLOL....yet he continues to rise in the rankings. He is not losing any points because last year he lost first round too and the guys ahead of him had better results and lost early so he goes up....ridiculous. All his points are in Paris....the 1000 and the year ending matches he won. I am assuming he will lose all the year ending match points since he won't qualify for year ending? Jack has been playing horrible and for him to be ranked in the top 15 is ridiculous. 

 

As for Them....he didn't look right a Halle. He wasn't going full force and the same for today's match. You'd think his coaches would've already tailed back his schedule. 

Jack Sock has

 

 

 

360 semi points from Cincy tourney

1000 points from Paris indoors

400 points year ending round robin ---------> These he will automatically lose since he won't qualify.

 

He currently has 2075 points and ranks #13.

So what happened between Mateo and Jack? Jack told him some [!@#$%^&*] after the match. Jack called for the trainer....lawd he hasn't played enough matches all year to be injured. He needs to get into shape to get rid of all his blubber.....

I loathe both. Joker is still ranked #30 after this win although he won't have any more points to defend after Wimbledon.  With the Nazi only doing well in Aussie Land...he will drop out of the top 100 in January....LOLOLOL

Novak fan here. It’s probably one of the few matches in which he had the majority of tennis fans beyond Serbs and #nolefam on his side. But then again, you never know. 

 

Apparently, Sock skipped press, so I’m assuming he’ll face a fine:

Umm....Jack is lucky this was not another player because he would've been flatten on the court after what he said. Jack Sock is a total ass. I've never cared for him as a person or player. I see that ESPN hasn't said squat about it. They did show when he said something to Matteo but the audio was so low you couldn't hear anything. What he said doesn't surprise me at all. He is gutter trash. I've seen how he reacts to gay posters on social media. It's not good.

Yup....even Denis went up and he lost first round in all three grass warm up tournaments. Berdych is at #55 ouch!!

And the screaming in the Sugar Pimp match is downright ridiculous!

Wow at Linette/Putintseva. Who’s going to blink first in this match? Surely, it’s going to be suspended soon. Could be the WTA’s answer to Isner/Mahut.

Edit: Putintseva won 10-8.

 

 

Sharapova OUT!!

typical ESPN. Their coverage has been awful. This morning they spent 30 min talking about nothing while matches went on....horrible.

    • When the announcement was first made, I did wonder if other plans were in the works. I guess we can always keep hoping, especially as the show has a small core cast.
    • @chrismlAbout Lisa, agree to disagree. Actually at the time she was the only thing my partner & I disagreed about. Naturally she was Team Vicky while I was steadfast as Team Lisa.  About John & twin paternity, I think that like the 3 pillows was a transitory idea someone had that no one else agreed with. More of the attempt to accommodate Philece. About MJ, co-sign, 100% agree, if there were more degrees I would claim them. About Wally & Felicia, always a fan. Mitch? Eh, take or leave. Although I do agree that WGE is a really striking man. Who have I left out? I don't know so that's all I got.

    • Dallas peaked early, IMO. Maybe not a fair statement as I’m still making my way through the first half of its run, but I think it’s hard to argue to point that S3 into S4 was its high point. Back to Knots. Wrapping up “And Never Brought to Mind.” Greg’s introduction kinda took me by surprise. I low-key dreaded his arrival bc I know he very quickly gets to the center of the show, but even though they wasted no time connecting him with Mac, Abby, Gary, and Karen, it still feels like a gradual intro. The juxtaposition of the ending of the Chip story with the heating up Abby’s plotting is quite symbolic of the changes the show was going through. I absolutely cannot imagine Kenny and Ginger having any part in any of this. Yall, the Gary/Val piano theme that they pull out from time to time is my FAVORITE. I find myself humming it constantly.
    • Bloodshed is inevitable now. It’s another reason I’m glad Black people aren’t getting involved in these protests. As awful as this is, I keep reminding myself that 54 percent of Latino men voted for Trump. These people were put in harm’s way by members of their own communities and sometimes even members of their own families. Too many people decided to touch the stove.
    • Maybe I'm still in denial, but nothing about Neighbours' ongoing social media output gives the vibe of a show that's ending. In today's 'Roundup' video, Alan Fletcher referenced that production finishes in five weeks, but in all the show's posts the cast are as jovial and lighthearted as ever. Remarkably so for people who are about to lose their jobs.    Perhaps they're just putting a brave face on things, and I know they approached the previous axing with a positive attitude. Maybe putting an upbeat face on things is a collective way of showing potential backers that there's still life in the show? Or is it possible that they already know the show has been saved, and we'll get an announcement next month when filming wraps and the show 'rests'?   Does any of that make sense?!
    • A very good week for male eye candy on GH. New Michael is beautiful, Curtis's arms looked great in that polo shirt, Cody looks even more handsome with his new haircut AND we got Marco in swim shorts rocking his lovely bod and chest fur.

    • Yeah when Jamey Giddens did breakdowns for DAYS, he would sometimes state in tweets that specific things were his idea that he had pitched to Ron.
    • I don't, since they've clearly incorporated them into Tomas' storyline, and I happen to like his tattoos, but his jackets not fitting doesn't mean they're trying to cover his tattoos. The clothing overall isn't the issue; it's the fit. And I expect(ed) more from Jeresa Featherstone and her team. Very disappointed. He's the only male, overall, whose costume irritates me.
    • "And OMG, watching the scenes of Roger's return in comparison...the quality in the writing really nosedived. The stupid mask." Very much agreed.  Having Roger hide behind a mask for weeks/months, with it culminating with him swinging in on a vine at Blake/Phillip's wedding....geez.  So juvenile. IMO, Guiding Light never did a good job reintroducing major characters, either from the dead or elsewhere.  Masked balls = awful.  Amish = awful. When Reva was brought back from the dead, she should've just showed up in Springfield as Reva, and informed everyone that she had been gone for years because she felt like it.  She had a four-year fling with some dude who ended up dumping her due to disloyalty. Josh would be pissed and declare that their love is not *always* but *sometimes* and he'd act accordingly.  Her kids would hate her.
