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.

    • And the third thing, which I have no cite for, and I may look to see if one is findable, but supposedly she said that the show had too much gay content in it. And, to be fair, that could be someone making a criticism about balance & not be bigotry but when it's added to the other, that's why it bugs people.

      The greatest tv series season finale in history.   
    • Mick Savage was sooo unbearable. And more unbearable was the reaction from the female characters to him - they were acting like he is God's gift to women and sooo irresistible. To a point of unbelievable cringe. 
    • Today was a short one. Only 33 minutes.  The ‘Part One’ graphic at the beginning was pretty interesting though. I didn’t expect them to do something like that.  I like how everything was focused around John and his family and friends. Again, the acting and the dialogue was very well done and well written. And I love that they were able to incorporate Drake’s, “swing for the fences” phrase into the script. It was nice seeing everyone interact with each other, especially characters who don’t often share scenes together. It felt like every character was part of a big family or community. Plus, an outdoor funeral in June makes a lot more sense than an outdoor funeral in December.  But yeah, it’s very, very strange that Will isn’t at the funeral, especially since we know that

      I would much rather he had been there today. And, where’s Anna too? And Jack and Jennifer? What was the point of bringing them all back if they weren’t going to attend the funeral? I expected Steve to want to close down BlackPatch, though I’d rather he just retire and let Paul take it over. But I like that Kayla was there to comfort him. I wonder if he’s going to change his mind at some point.  It was nice seeing Shane again too. Now, he just needs to have more scenes with his son lol but I enjoyed seeing him comfort Marlena. I’m not really sure about his interaction with Cat though? Was it really necessary for this to happen now, at John’s funeral? They could’ve waited a little longer to introduce this story arc.  Btw, was Tate bleeding from his head in his first scene with Arianna? 
    • This is the coldest early June in my life. It's like it's January.

    • This is wonderful! Thank you for posting this! I loved the first two seasons and never got to see the final season when they cancelled the DVD release. I've been hoping this popped up on streaming but no luck. Happy I'll finally get to see how it ended!
