Tennis Twitter can be irascible but sometimes the meme and the replies mix in a hilarious way. The comment that mentioned a one-time quote by Giorgi about how she didn't "watch woman tennis" as the reason why she's hanging out with Lepchenko, because she doesn't realize that Lepchenko is suspended (yet again) for taking a banned substance. 

Also, why does Giorgi look like she's in her 50s in this picture??!

Initially, I had absolutely no earthly care about this apparent break up between Matteo Berrettini and Ajla Tomljanovic. None whatsoever...until I saw someone's tweet that Felix Auger-Aliassime apparently unfollowed Matteo.

Here I thought they were such good friends (or so the commentators keep telling us any time they play each other). I know that Felix's girlfriend is Ajla's what... cousin or something? But what could Matteo have done that would make Felix, his supposedly good friend, and seemingly such a mild mannered friend at that, unfollow him on social media? And who are the people who actually monitor the unfollows of others??

Apparently, he's following again, or never stopped? 

Boy, I can't believe I'm following this adolescent drama!

I remember Cahill once briefly split with Haley. I don't know what sorcery she pulled to get him back but they worked together for awhile after that initial split. I do think Cahill probably wanted to stop traveling for quite some time and is likely burned out but it probably would have been better for Amanda had he not made an agreement at all.

I can't remember the last time I've wanted a player to retire from the sport so badly!  Naomi was good for the WTA but not anymore.  Her antics are old and exhausting.  She ruined the match for me.  Is this the WTA or WTA: Let's Make Sure Nothing Upsets Naomi?  It's not fair to other players, paying spectators or viewers.  Tennis is not for Naomi!  You suck is nowhere equivalent to what TWS went thru.  Don't even try it!

Two great matches in Nadal vs Korda and Tsitsipas vs Sock. Finally some entertainment.

Then Naomi..... Yikes....she wanted to talk to the fans during the match...of course the umpire told her no...at the end she was allowed to address the crowd...TC panicked and muted the winners mic....

Naomi thanks the crowd and continues crying and says what the heckler said kept going through her mind during the whole match.

As a tennis fan, I can take or leave Osaka but if tennis wants to not have this happen (at Indian Wells of all places) maybe give these players some strategies for dealing with heckling, especially on the WTA side.

I do think that at this point, Osaka just doesn't enjoy tennis anymore but it's up to her to figure it out at this point. You all know that I am firmly opposed to people telling players what to do with their careers. Players cry all the time and suddenly folks have objections to it? C'mon, man.

      He definitely got lost in the shuffle last year. First, they were implying that he was Drew’s son, then he was nothing more than just Violet’s bff

      And then they changed him to being Dante and Brook Lynn’s son, which was clunky at first but I’m enjoying the storyline now.

      GM is adorable, charming and fun onscreen despite months of nothing to do until recently, and has a bodacious bod. I'm not cosigning the show or this story - I haven't watched a full episode in over a month - but I think we're all taking the small victories in 2025 at this point. I'm open to testing this theory!

      Falcon Crest

      By te. · Posted

      I think Jason might've posted some numbers for the syndication a while ago and the numbers for Falcon Crest was horrible. Like 1.5 rating or something, which was terrible.    ETA: it was actually Paul Raven:   New to syndication 60 min Fall Guy 67 markets 3.1/8 Falcon Crest 110 markets 1.1/5 To get into the top 40, you needed a 4.6/9 rating for reference - and Falcon Crest managed to get into a lot of markets to begin with. In the fall of 1985 Dynasty, Dallas and Knots were syndicated (show / rating / share / coverage % / markets): Dallas 3.4 10 51.7 92 Dynasty 3.4 10 48.7 47  Knots Landing 3.3 10 12.5 20  So, Knots as an example trippled Falcon Crest's rating with 20 markets - I'm sure those were major ones but it just goes to show you how much Falcon Crest bombed in syndication.

      It's not bad but the stories move too slow. It's the same problem when Dan O'Connor was CO-HW with Van Etten, they have a million stories and they all drag on endlessly with no resolution. I'd argue the majority of the stories airing now are good but you get sick of waiting months for something to happen.

      Thanks. I must have missed that period entirely for Lifetime.

      Thanks. I know Marland did that type of thing sometimes but it's less likely with these characters. I don't even remember Alex ever mentioning him.

      French fan summary Rusty took over Simon's job at Lewis Trucking after Simon transferred to Lewis Oil's North Carolina office to live near Jessie and Calla. I doubt they would bother following up a story for offscreen characters eg marriage and a baby.
