I caught the first set and it was tight but wasn't able to see the second set. I am just glad Thiem did well and got to the semis and took out horrible Trumpster Jack Sock and his groupies....Mike Bryan and John Isner. John Isner screaming and yelling and standing up after Jack won a point was so annoying to watch. Thank goodness Thiem shut him down and now Jack ranks #105....LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

 

I think Khachanov has a chance to win it all. I haven't been impressed with Roger or Joker during this tournament run. 

 

 

That was horrible. I use to be a Mugu fan but I am quickly disliking her a lot.

A lot of people were grateful to Thiem for taking out Jack.  Last year when Sock won, I didn't really care one way or the other but he shouldn't be able to flop his way to the SFs when he did bupkis in singles this year.

 

It's cool to see Khachanov emerge, and it would be equally cool to see him emerge with the trophy tomorrow.

I've been lukewarm on Garbiñe for quite some time now but I was most annoyed at how muted the criticism has been toward her tantrums. 

Even though I hate on court coaching (and not-so-secretly hope this incident plays against it), Muguruza handled herself terribly in that situation.  She and Sumyk seem to have this weird, almost unseemly co-dependent relationship.  It seems to cross over the line of a player chirping at her coach.

I never thought it was Sam. I knew she was trouble when she got rid of Conchita Martinez probably her best coach ever and who helped improve her game and won a major. I just raised my hands and thought this bitch is stupid...LOL

I saw very little of the semifinal.  You mean there was another incident??!  I haven't heard of anything today. What happened?

 

Muguruza seems to be a very domineering personality and when anyone tries to even the power dynamic with her, she pitches a fit.  She should try to go coachless for awhile.  If she keeps this up, she may have little choice.

Yeah, they didn't show it (I guess because of Mugu's tantrum the other day) but the Commie explained it word for word.  

 

Mugu calls Sam down and as he tries to talk to her, she continues to whine about Wang hurting her and she (Mugu) doesn't know what to do.  Sam asked her to calm down as he tried to COACH.  He told her he can't talk to her while she's like that and mad.  She continued and he walked away.  Then she was bageled in the 2nd set.

You know what? I think I clicked on just after that on court coaching incident that you just described @ChitHappens because I heard vague conversation about on court coaching, etc. but the volume was turned down so low that I guess I didn't really pick up the details, but I found it interesting that the commentator was talking about OCC even though play had already resumed in the match.

Hmm.

Instead, I heard some tennis journos b*tching about Wang not officially qualifying for Zhuhai, yet getting into the tournament as an alternate LL type, etc.

I just kinda laughed and shrugged it off because I was kind of low-key gleeful that Muguruza got bageled.

    • My thoughts exactly! Fantastic find @DRW50!  
    • That was interesting; thanks. Courtney looks tired and/or bored AF, LOL!
    • 5-12   Lord have mercy.   I'm not sure how I feel about it. Perhaps what I said last week or the week before last. If the highlight of a soap is what people are wearing and not the writing, that's not a good thing. And that was how I was feeling watching this. There was not anyone that I was interested in seeing in the episode outside of Daniel and Sally tbh. Because Daniel continues to be the only thing that humanizes Phyllis for me.    I could care less for the Billy/Sally scenes where he's woe is me. I could care less about Kyle/Claire since the writers took all the drama right out of the pairing. Humanized or not, I could care less for Giggly Heffa.    I barely care for Teriah. But for me, it's nice to see something going on with them. Though it seems so horribly contrived.    I liked the costume designer appears to be trying to find individual styles for some of the characters. For me, Tessa's with the boots stood out given her indie musician history. It seems like Claire's style is coming into its own with block colors. I like Kyle's wardrobe is loosening up somewhat. I even loved the striped dress that Phyllis had on.    But again...where is the writing?
    • It was reported that Jane Wyman absence in the final season was due to health (it's documented that Jane was diabetic) but I believe her episodes being cut was a budget mode move. Similar move Dallas pulled in 1990, it was reported that Barbara Bel Geddes retired due to health (it's documented that Barbara had a heart condition) but I say salary dump. Jane Wyman only acted once after Falcon Crest, a 1993 episode of Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman, but she lived another 14 years after that. Barbara Bel Geddes did not act again after her last episode of Dallas in 1990 but she lived another 15 years after that. The trifecta of suck at Lorimar was Les Moonves, Leonard Katzman, and Michael Filerman. It was a pattern across all three CBS primetime soaps in the off the rails plus budget mode era to salary dump the long-time female cast members and bring on sweet young things hired on the cheap. 
    • To be fair, more than half of them are dead now. 
    • Kat may be a privileged elitist but that's not entirely true.  Kat first met Eva when Eva was snooping at Nicole's desk, so Kat's first impression of Eva wasn't very good.  Plus, Kat's instinct to not trust Eva was 100% right.  Kat's attitude toward Eva had nothing to do with Eva not "bowing" down to Kat, and her feelings toward her half-sister is very justified......minus the making fun of Eva's clothes of course. 
    • They said that this has metastasized to his bones, but the type of "aggressive" prostate cancer he has is actually very common and is treatable, or at least manageable. So the headline is misleading.   Apparently this type of cancer is hormonal which makes it somewhat treatable? But still, of course, sad.  Thinking of him and his loved ones.
    • Kat is a spoiled brat princess and Silk Press Sheila called her out on it.  Silk Press Sheila is someone not to mess with. I was actually scared for Kat when she was alone with Silk Press Sheila and recording their conversation.
    • It is funny that Stephanie and Philip still hide/blush/get embarrassed at the sight of each other.  Meanwhile, Kate's pouring coffee for Rafe at the pub as if they're only casual acquaintances.  Although, if Kate blushed every time she saw one of her former lovers, she'd be permanently red.
    • Great thought.  I mostly forgot about Kate's cancer.
