Fed fans are already saying Roger will get his revenge.

 

Tennis fans were upset that the Thiem vs Fognini match wasn't shown on TC. They were trashing Osaka being shown and Novak since Chardy was no competition for him.

From what I heard, the Osaka/Bencic match was a highly competitive 3 set battle.  Why wouldn't that be shown on the main network?  Because it's a women's match?  Tennis fans can really be sickening sometimes.  The sexism and racism inherent to this sport never ceases to amaze me.

 

On other topics involving actual players, not numbty dumpty fans.

Sascha was rather nasty towards his opponent. 

 

Sascha: What r u looking at? I've been ready...why r u taking so long to serve the ball...

 

I thought he was going to lose. He would've dropped to #5 in the world had he lost. I am hoping Thiem can get the #4 seed in Paris.

I sure was. That was one hell of a tie-breaker!

Ha.....I noticed that Roger started looking tired right before Thiem got the first break in the 3rd set. Some of the shots Thiem hit towards the end were just ridiculous....especially the passing shot that won him the second break in the 3rd set. Thiem said in his post inteview with TC that he was very nervous at the start of the match. You could tell because he was spraying balls everywhere. Thiem knew he was the favorite and it put more pressure on him than at Indian Wells. Brad Gilbert called it a standing ovation match. 

I hope so!  I also think Thiem can win the US Open with it playing at medium pace. He should've beaten Rafa last year in the QFs to get to the semis. 

 

After the Thiem match.....I am totally exhausted....yet still more tennis to watch....LOL

 

Oh and yes Thiem unfortunately is still with Kiki. She lost early in Madrid and wasn't in Thiem's box. I am assuming she left already for Italy and the Italian Open.

Nacho the umpire for that match is awful. He did the same thing during a Thiem match....LOL. Thiem got warned for slow play???....laughable.

    • Has anyone read Sharon Gabet's memoir? Is it worth reading?
    • Would that ad even appeal to people who watched Falcon Crest at any point? By that point, did anyone really care about the show? I remember people loathing the last season and especially hating Alfonso's character.
    • Thanks @kalbir

    • True enough, and Tony and Annabelle suffer the same problem. And the people Quint and Nola had interacted with were gone--Kelly, Morgan, Helena, Mrs Renfield---even Van's been transplanted to the Lewis enclave. Nola's curiosity could've been used somehow, but after Reva's arrival it seems like Long is obsessed with selling that woman to the audience.  As originally written--no, the Chamberlains weren't stockholders anymore. At least not to my understanding. But any story where Quint and Vanessa teamed up, realizing that Alex had played them, and found some loophole to get back in to restore Henry's legacy would've been welcome. As much as I like India--Spaulding gets weird in '85 with Alex, Phillip, India and Warren fighting amongst themselves.

    • Same. And looking sooooo good. 
    • Yeah this episode was actually really good. I loved SINN together against Looney
    • I can forgive them not writing a lot for Quint/Nola at Van and Billy's first wedding, given that Lisa was hugely pregnant and the other story going on was Tony's medical crisis. But yeah---Nola and Quint barely even speak to Van for that last year-plus. Not even after little Billy's born (although Nola and Van do have a nice scene, which is one of the few that they're just nice to each other) or the fallout of Van's addiction, and they flippin' leave when Billy's in a coma or right after being in one)  Even Henry goes to story Siberia. They gave them a big, new set and the promise of some Billy/Van/Nola/Quint family squabblin'--and NADA.  How COOL would it have been to see Nola side with Van and put Reva in her place? But no...NOLAROBICS. RME. Reva really needed someone outside of Josh to tell her like it was. Instead, Billy's head cheerleader. And Jon's calling him "uncle Billy", which just about made me gag.
    • 5-12   Well, as much as i've been enjoying the highs of BTG, I guess I should try to play catch up on my other soaps...lol.   I actually liked this episode. But I guess it could be because I felt there was a lot going on. Bill and Liam's talk. Luna attempting them inroads with Finn. Steffy comforting Hope over Liam. Sheila thanking Bill for helping Luna. Even a decent cliffhanger with Steffy walking in on Luna and Finn.   I know I said it before, but I don't care for the Liam storyline, but the acting has been good.
