Why would he give it a rest when he keeps winning? Who cares what a bunch of folks on social media think? He has enough fans. You don’t need to be the most popular player in the world. 

 

Anywho, he’s now 25-22 against Roger and 27-25 against Rafa, the “GOATs.”

Novak is the one that makes it a big deal when he yells at the fans for supporting Roger during matches...he needs to move on....he wants to be loved like Roger is and it aint happening....and UGH to Kei making it....he is getting on my nerves too......

Kei got in by default....lawd he is. on my hate list too....

John Isner and Justin praying and using their voodoo magic in hopes that Rafa pulls out....LOL.....that's all that needs to happen...lawd...awful.....love the satisfaction that both are upset by this.....LOL

There have been a lot of “Nole!” chants in Paris this week.

 

Dude is spent today and has been battling a cold all week, which any reasonable viewer could see. Nadal pulling out after the draw meant Fed and Novak were on the same side. Yesterday’s semi should have been a final.

 

Khachanov is great, though. I like him. The Russians (plus Zverev, Shapovalov, and Tsitsipas, all of Russian descent) are really leading the NextGen.

Wow, Karen Khachanov bullied that baseline today, lol!  Of the GenerationNex group, his volleys are a cut above the rest, from what I've seen.

 

Even if Nolé is fatigued, he's beaten people looking much worse than he did today, so Karen still had to go out there and take the match and congrats to him!

Fair play to Khachanov. He’s the only guy other than Sascha of that group to win a huge title like this. I don’t think Roger would have fared better in this match.

 

Certainly it’s a more satisfying winner than last year’s champion.

I'm like what mother names her son Karen....LOLOLOL....Isn't Agassi Armenian too? 

 

And Lawd Karen's uncle is hot....LOL...the one Sascha was complaining about....LOL. I see where Karen gets his good looks. 

Roger would have faired worse.  And speaking of Sascha...he is already complaining that he is tired and that the season is too long.......pleaseeeeeee....he is such a whiny bitch......

 

And speaking of Isner....fans are hoping that Nadal does play...they don't want to see Isner anywhere near the year end championships....to quote the tennis fans...."He is a BORING player to watch"

It's more likely that his father named him since his father is Armenian. Yes, Agassi is ethnically Armenian, though his father was from Iran.

I don't know if you remember the tennis player Sargis Sargsian (he's friends with Andre) who retired sometime ago but he is also Armenian. 

Not for nothing but Serena's husband is Armenian-American too.

    • 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!
