Agreed. I can understand why a few lower-ranked clay court specialists would play on the surface this way in the year to make some cash, but Thiem should have earned enough money and technically should be a contender on all surfaces. He’s doing himself no favors.

He was a finalist in Paris. He doesn't need to prove anything else on clay. Nadal doesn't even play these meaningless tourneys(even though one is a 500 one). He IMO is hurting his clay court standing as being only behind Nadal. He should be focusing on the hard court season and relaxing these two weeks. When will his coaches finally wake up too and stop him from playing so much?

Muguruza out of San Jose with an arm injury.

 

It’s crazy. Even with hampered mobility, Murray gets to balls that would be winners for most of his opponents. 

 

Malek Jaziri’s lips, though. Lisa Rinna wishes.

Breaking news....Lendl will be working with Sasha to Murray's surprise...he didn't look happy...LOL

Malek looks so sexy in that pic...love his jacket....too bad Sasha is trouncing him....

Glad Tsitsipas beat THE MARK IS RIGHT HERE again after beating him at Wimbledon. Too bad TC didn't show the match.

Nishioka won 11 of the last 13 games to beat Taylor Fritz in Los Cabos. A good win for him since returning from injury, but people are saying Fritz did a Kyrgios-style tank.

 

Interesting matches in DC tomorrow: the Zverev brothers’ first match against each other on the tour; Shapovalov/Nishikori; Goffin/Tiafoe.

 

I think we have to include France on the list of hot nations for tennis players. Quentin Halys is 🔥. The young Simon, Gasquet, and Tsonga were all lookers. Chardy, Herbert, and Pouille are hot. Paire could certainly look way better with a trimmed beard and his natural hair color. They have this guy Laurent Lokoli who is very attractive.

 

Most of them are effing nuts, but it is what it is.

 

Actually, a lot of the younger Americans are cute. Michael Mmoh, Marcus Miron, Mackenzie McDonald, Noah Rubin, and Thai-Son Kwiatkowski are good-looking. Even Taylor Fritz, whom I don’t particularly like, is photogenic.

From his media page ....Dominic Thiem

 


I am sad to announce that I had to withdraw from the doubles here in Kitzbühel. The physios told me, that I shouldn’t be playing tennis for 2-3 days to prevent a shoulder injury from happening. I want you guys to know that I haven’t been effected by any shoulder issues during yesterday’s match, but I have to focus on my health now, especially with the big tournament’s coming up in the next few weeks. No one is more disappointed than I am, but I had to make the decision and I am sure it’s the right one.

 

 

When will his coach and he learn he is playing too much.....

    • Speculation about Missy Reeves' potential evolution on basic civil rights doesn’t change my opinion of her. My view is shaped entirely by her public social media presence—which I find unpalatable—and I have no interest in learning more beyond that. I simply liked Jennifer’s hair and dress. That’s as far as my admiration goes.

    • Cheryl was gone before Lemay came back but I agree with your thinking that he would rather a character from a family he introduced to the show than a family he did not originate.  I remember reading somewhere in the early 90's probably after DS left as writer, their was an either a writer or a producer who made a comment that their intent was bring the McKinnon family back to AW.  Would have made sense for the newer viewers from the 80's.  Much like Lemay's attempt to bring the Frames back from his writing in the 70's in his 1988 return
    • DePriest left in January 1988. According to the AWHP, Rose last appeared nearly a year before in February 1987 while both Sara and Peggy appeared as late as October 1987.
    • Annie was not brought in as an antagonist for Reva. Reva wasn’t even on the canvas when Annie first appeared in late 1994. 
    • The speculation……….very entertaining. 
    • I had forgotten that several Days stars came out strong against Melissa. Good for them!
    • That would have made sense. Did all these characters get dropped when DePriest left or had they already been dropped?
    • The other issue with Missy: in June 2020, she "liked" some social media posts by Candace Owens -- things Candace said that were against Black Lives Matter.  That is described here https://tvline.com/news/melissa-reeves-racism-days-of-our-lives-instagram-controversy-2894568/ I don't know if that was ever resolved.
    • She appeared onscreen not long after Rose Livingston and Sara Montaigne, and we found out that Sara was Rose's estranged daughter. I wonder whether Peggy might have been part of that family group -- or else they were just juggling a few different potential mysteries so that they could develop whatever seemed to be getting the best response from the audience. They didn't do anything much with Rose and Sara really either. Maybe Rose would have become more prominent if Rachel and Mac had split up over Mitch, or if Sara had really flourished. In some ways I can picture Cheryl being affected by MJ's prostitution similarly to how Josie was distressed by finding out about Sharlene. But I can also see that Josie as a Frame being involved with Matthew would have different stakes for Rachel and Sharlene than Cheryl being involved with Scott. I do think the solution for Cheryl would have had to be a badder boy than Scott -- either a real bad boy who would do her wrong, or the kind of bad boy (not Chad!!!) who is essentially misunderstood and other people just don't understand. Cheryl would also have been better off with some friends her own age. Matthew and Josie benefited a bit from having other teenagers to interact with.
