Raonic beat Stan, and Herbert took out Chung, whose ranking will plummet.

 

Thiem apparently is suffering some kind of illness and retired against the young Aussie Alexei Popyrin. 

 

Serena waved off Genie rather easily and will play the winner of Halep/Venus(!) next after both won in three.

 

This is a STAT:

I'm not sure if I'm disappointed in Genie's game or simply happy Queen waxed her.  Genie came up with nothing even when Serena's serve was not there.  I'm literally scratching my head here.  Genie has great respect for Serena but she's been playing far too long to be starstruck.

The Konta/Muguruza match started after midnight (latest start for the AO ever), and it’s STILL going on (after 3 am Melbourne time.)

 

They were scheduled to play the last night session on MCA, but Zverev/Chardy went five sets, so they announced they were moving to Court 3.

 

Unfortunately that court was covered in seagull poop, and the Open didn’t have enough staff at that point to clean up.

 

So on to Margaret Court Arena they went.

 

They could have moved them to any other court when they saw the Zverev match might run long.

 

Meanwhile, Serena suffering no fools as usual:

 

 

Muguruza just won, so here’s the R32:

Well I am 2 for 2 today so far with Tsitsipas and Berdych winning. Jim Courier must really hate Berdych because he is the only one on the panel at Tennis Channel that picked Diego to win.

 

As for Roger versus that privileged rich white boy who fucked a gal then married her and finally a child popped out....I am laughing here as Roger is playing his D game and still winning. Fritz needs to stop embarrassing himself tonight with Roger having the fast court catered to him......he has no chance. Fritz is a junior player compared to Roger's pro status.

      We all have our picks 
    • Teach me to post cocky about all these rampant relations! As for the cut, it just made Leo Howard look more stunningly handsome. There are guys I think are hotter, but he's got the prettiest face hands down.
    • Yes Arianna and Sami are blood related through Sami and Theresa. They are also adoptive/honorary related because Arianna's third.parent is Sonny, which makes Arianna and Tate related through Justin and Isabella.
    • I saw more about Biden Old or the staged feud between Elon and Trump or just the usual distractions, but I will admit I don't stomach most of the news anyway.
    • Figured it was something like that. It's just feels weird that Will came back to see John but he's not gonna be at his funeral but

        They are blood related. Through Sami and Theresa. I didn't notice it last week, but it looked so fresh today. Like he got cut minutes before they started filming or something lol
    • Bill convinced the Governor to pardon Luna. Steffy was too busy badmouthing Hope & Brooke for most of the Spring to concern herself with such trivial matters.
    • There hasn't been a media blackout, there's been live coverage on national news all weekend.
    • There's been something of a media blackout, but beyond that the only reason it's getting any attention is because Trump and the Republicans and their sycophants in the press are trying to create riots to pave the way for martial law.  And of course all the people who care more about setting fires and destroying property than anything else are happy to help them.  I've seen more interest in people arguing about whether or not they should be waving Mexican flags and how American flags are tainted than I have in the cause, which just reinforces what a malaise we are in. Many who claim to care about immigration only care to the tips of their fingers, just like Palestine and the rest. But these policies what people voted for. As long as they personally aren't affected, they are eating all this decimation up.
    • I was happy to see Caroline again even in one short scene. This was her first appearance since April 3. I was wondering why we haven't seen her, since Hayley desperately needs a talk-to aside from Bill.  I am also wondering where Jacob's partner is. Does Marcel have an opinion on Jacob spending so much time on the Laura case? Especially since Marcel warned Jacob about allowing his family to get in the way of police business. I liked seeing some vulnerability from Leslie today when she begged Eva to give her the helmet and gloves back. I'm still wondering how she will get out of the corner she has been written into. When we were first introduced to Leslie, she seemed like she might be a Machiavelli but since then it's clear that she more of a haphazard villainess doesn't seem to have a long term plan aside from causing random chaos.  Chelsea's desperation is cringeworthy but I actually think it's fairly realistic for someone who is closeted or newly out.
