And I don't care for Tiafoe's game....too robotic for my tastes...just loathe his backhand, forehand and serve.....its like it has.a hitch to all of it....just weird swinging motions......

 

The worst is the rich boy who shovels the ball over the net....talk about robotic.......

He needs a Lendl. Too bad he went with the brat instead....LOL

Wow. Lots of comparisons to Fed beating Sampras at Wimbledon in 2001. 

 

 

 

Roger’s worst ever performance on BP conversion:

 

 

And then there’s this:

 

 

Some people are saying this indicates 2019 is his final year. Other are saying he needs the points because his ranking will drop to 6/7 due to not defending last year’s title (and he has nothing to defend from clay since he didn’t play it last year).

 

Maria’s testy press conference after losing to Barty:

Congrats to Tsitsipas on beating Roger. I was up watching it and now I am a total zombie.....LOL. 

Roger looked pissed after the loss and his brush off of Tsitsipas shoulder hug didn't last long....LOL. So glad someone finally took Roger down and one of my favs did it...

Roger has lost early in the last 3 majors...I guess his catered Aussie Open fast courts didn't work for him this year....Ha

 

RBA continues to amaze me. Glad he took out Cilic.....Cilic drops from #6 to #10 in the rankings with only defending 160 of the 1200 points he garnered last year.

 

An RBA vs Tsitsipas QF? Who would've have thought??

 

As for Roger playing clay.....Why? He was asked and the media wanted him too and now he is? Retirement or add points to raise his ranking for Wimbledon? Either way its going to backfire and he won't win Wimbledon and probably lose early at the clay tournaments he enters. Roger is already #6 in the rankings...dropping from #3. He has 600 points to defend in Indian Wells and Theim and Kei are nipping at his heels and very little to defend during Tennis March madness in Indian Wells and Miami. I could see Roger dropping to #8 or worse by April. 

 

As for Sloane...was watching and she was in control when I doze off to sleep.....she is an idiot to lose to her opponent but as she says...everything is going to be ok......LOL

    • 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.
