Man is Sabalenka good. Muguruza played the best she’s played in a while, and it still wasn’t enough.

 

More on the WTA/Tennis Channel deal, including the tidbit that TC offered less than 10 percent of what BeIN offered in the last bidding cycle:

^^^very poor decision by Ostapenko.  You get bageled in the first, your wrist is hurting so you keep hitting just to see if you can bageled in the 2nd?  What are these coaches teaching these kids?  

 

A wrist injury is so much different than stomach pains in this sport!  

 

Sabalenka and Osaka are going to rule the top 2 spots really soon!

Someone said that Ostapenko's ball toss was going the way of Ivanovic, so it was fairly obvious that she was having physical issues.

 

This is what happens when your sport lacks a player's union. 

 

The tournaments, even some coaches are most interested in getting these players to play tournaments, not to take time off to recuperate and heal. 

At this point, it seems like you have to over 30 with multiple Slams not to be penalized for taking time off during the season.

It's not just Ostapenko, what about Madison Keys?  Why was she out there playing when she clearly shouldn't be?  This is the second tournament in a row where she either had to withdraw or retire from a match.

I really want to see Joker and Roger get into it like that...you know Joker wants to....

 

Roger: That b!tch(referring to Joker) thinks he can steal my fans.

Joker: What did you say??

Roger: Your heart antics to the fans at the end of the match is so fake as you are.....

Joker: Come say that to my face

      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.
