How could I not.....Serena the cow lost to who? and in an early rounds. She looks slow as hell.

 

John McEnroe is saying this might be Roger's last year on the tour.

 Its all a scam!  I go to someone's house to watch on ESPN and they directed us to ESPN streaming.  TC Plus shows 3rd rate matches so why would I pay for that?  You have to have cable to get the real matches that will favor the ATP. 

BTW where is Jordi Djokovic? Supposedly the best player of the three and the hottest. Jealousy from Novak?

 

Stefanos has his brother already playing doubles on the ATP cup tourney and Dominic is helping his brother get on the tour.

Muguruza had a complete meltdown in that final game. I suppose she only peaks against Williams sisters in championship matches. Still, after the disastrous last couple of seasons, this is a HUGE step up for her.

 

LOL at Bencic now Top 5. She’s defending a Dubai title, so we’ll see how the spring goes. Pliskova and Svitolina must be seething to see all these newcomers lifting Grand Slam trophies while they toil away year after year.

 

 

 

 

 

Naomi on her way out of the top ten seems so weird.  Other than AO, what huge points will she be defending?

I've said the same Re: Roger -  I think it's why he played the French last year and I think he wanted to stay in for 1 more Olympics and 1 more Wimbledon.

Kenin has really progressed and not many people talked about her. It's been the Coco/McNally/Anisimova story...

 

I don't think Keys is ever going to win anything.  There are just too many good players now and scrappers and I watch her play and I've always said that you can tell Lindsay coached her...she plays just like her.  I'm also wondering if Serena is done, and I really think Venus is only playing to stay on tour with Serena.  And I think the Olympics team will name both, but Venus for doubles only.  I don't know how many players they get to name. Sloane has almost disappeared...I didn't even hear about her at the Australian - did she go or was she out in an early round?

 

@Fevuh, mentally Serena can't cross that finish line [like she used to] and her body won't wait for her mind to get there.  I was disappointed and relieved with her r3 loss as we didn't have to talk about another embarrassing final she should have won.

Serena was not on my list to win this tournament this year, so the vainglorious boasts won't upset me. Calling her a cow seems a bit on the misogynoir-ish side though.

As I said before, I slept very soundly throughout this tournament.  I don't see what other people have to get upset about. *shrugs*.  If the interest isn't there, it just isn't. No amount of perceived boasts or insults will make it so.

ESPN persists in trying to sell that 3rd rate ESPN+ service. That's a "no" from me.

Keys doesn't know how to construct points. She just blasts the ball with no purpose.

 

Sloane is a hot mess.

I thought Stan had hit the 7000 mark. 

Never cared for the Muster add. Glad he got rid of him rather quickly.

Too bad that either Djokovic or Federer (in all likelihood the former) will reach the final. Men´s tennis need new faces. The Federer/Nadal/Djokovic stranglehold has lasted too long.

Federer should have been out in at least two of the matches  he played one against Millman, the other against the American (sorry forgot his name). In both of those games IMHO I think his opponent lost the match rather than Federer winning it.

 

looks like I never posted this lol

 

Now do you have Uber Eats in the US, and did you see any of the Uber Eats ads during the Aust Open.

I don't know what that is, but if it's restaurant/food delivery, in the US we have GrubHub and Doordash and other services.  I use them all the time.  I didn't see Uber Eats commercials during the Australian Open, but I've not seen Doordash or GrubHub commercials here either.  We also have InstaCart who delivers from local grocery stores...I have a Wegmans near me that is crazy to go into...it's a wonderful grocery store that has a deli, pastry kitchen, sushi bar, and hot bar with prepared foods...full butcher and seafood, specialty cheeses, olive bar with dolmas and mozzerella/tomatos, full service grocery store and even some small appliances.  I use InstaCart whenever I'm lazy.  

Dominic Thiem has withdrawn from next week's Argentina Open.

Abigail Spears (#37 doubles, career high #10) has been banned for 22 months after testing positive for DHEA.

She says that a player recommended an Eastern Medicine doctor who prescribed her pills containing DHEA. The name of the pills: DHEA 25.https://t.co/AnJdQPyw7M pic.twitter.com/4O4nVhuqBy
