I didn't see much of Indian Wells, and neither final.  But reading about Nadal - honestly it sounds like a pulled rib muscle.  I had it once.  It sounds like exactly the same thing.  There's nothing you do for it but wait it out and don't tweak it.  When he says breathing problem, that's exactly what it's like.  Mine (believe it or not), I had been working out and afterwards had trouble breathing in.  It made me laugh, so...I laughed.  "this is ridiculous".  "what is going on....hahahahahahaha."  Then I couldn't breathe in after the air had gone completely out of my lungs.  Then it wasn't funny, and I thought...my God I'm gonna die from not breathing???! (hahahahaha), and it did it again.  Finally got my breath, and thought...not working out again.  Going to the Doctor.  At the Doctor, he said - pulled rib muscle.  But it doesn't sound like you did anything working out, maybe only aggravated it.  It was likely already there.  So get this - he says, has there been anything recently that you did...any kind of straining or quick motion that you would have pulled it?  Nope, couldn't think of anything.  THEN BAM.  It hit me.  I said...wait...you know what?  I was laying by the pool on my stomach on a lounge chair several days ago, with my feet hanging down on the concrete.  A wasp (you know how they come and drink or get wet wings and can't fly)...crawled onto my foot and stung me while I was laying there.  I flipped over FAST and mashed it off of me.  The Doctor said - and that was it.  That's exactly when you pulled your rib muscle...that's exactly the kind of motion I'm talking about.  So....it was just a waiting game of several weeks before it went away.  I'd bet 100% that's what it is with Rafa.

Apparently, Rafa's rib stress fracture means he will likely be out of competition for 4-6 weeks. 

Conspiracy theory nutjobs are using this as promote antivaxx propaganda to claim that because Rafa stated problems with breathing (I have had a bruised rib from yoga years ago and yes, it hurts to breathe, or do any movement of the torso on that affected side/area) that it must be because he was vaccinated.

Just saw it on tv. I won't miss her but surprised she's retiring although she did it before.

Not everyone wants records...some like her winning a major or two and a one thousand tournaments is enough.

Everyone's journey is different. I'll admit that when I first saw the announcement on SM, my first thought was that this might be another cricket break, but it does seem like her heart isn't in it, she'd rather stay in Australia, not have to travel and at this point, she doesn't need the money.

I tuned in to the Miami tournament to hear Courier gush over Kyrgios.  I’m tired of hearing about how great he is and awesome for livin his best life.  And I’m reminded when I hear his constant mumbling how much I dislike him. Blah

Yup!  The ATP website will feature the tournament. So hopefully I'll get to see their matches. They have been missed.

 

Can't believe the Miami tournament has been more entertaining than IW. 

From all the news and players pulling out cause of injury to Brooksby misbehavior and almost getting defaulted.

    • Well, I am glad to know that & for it to make sense, so thanks for the info &  the perspective, also. At the end of AMC 1.0, I thought the new young talent was really quite good, but I missed Eden & NuBianca just ... well, I wasn't 100% sold on her & Bianca was so important to me. But then, Tad & Dixie were also important & yep, there's another problem, for me I mean. I'm not your typical AMC fan but I hung in there anyway. I know what you mean because it wasn't as good as it once had been but it was still Agnes's show in Pine Valley. Some of that is a bittersweet nostalgic clinging to the past, I guess. By that time I'd been through so many show cancellations. AW, Santa Barbara, PC, The City, GL, ATWT.

          Betsy Snyder, when she was at DAYS was part of the WGA winning writing team before she died, tragically far too young.  
    • Yep Edmund and Tad went under cover to infiltrate the... Willow Lake (I think?) old folks community scandal that was exploiting Phoebe, etc.  (Which at one point led to Edmund rescuing Brooke from quicksand--common around Pine Valley I guess

      ) EDIT maybe I'm wrong.  I found the quicksand scene

      But for the story all I can find is Edmund going undercover as the gigolo "preying" on older women, Eduardo (no one would recognize him with that disguise and name ) so the drag must have been.. a different story?    
    • But then he HATES the original Heather Webber (Cher's half sister played her, right?) and we know what happened when Robin would step into the role a year after this.  He does seem pretty spot on about actors who show promise otherwise.  It's interesting he knocks OLTL early on (though I loved all the recently released episodes from this era we got) but does give a lot of credit to the actress playing Cathy despite earlier complaining about her story.  And over all, while quite negative, his various pros and cons on the shows sounds about right with what I know of the shows at this time. This was a July dated issue of the magazine but and I know they date mags a month or two in advance--obviously when he wrote this he didn't know Lovers and Friends was gonna go off the air (in May I think).
    • You know one of the soap outlets posed that question just last week: Who do you want Trina with Spencer or Kai? And, of course, the picture of Spencer was NAC. I said, well, a lot. I chose Kai. I said that Spencer had been an entitled brat & that some people valued him over her, when I valued her above all others. I guess we'll see.
    • You're right. The only thing I can think of is if GH finally decides to bring back Spencer.
    • Sharon Rose Gabet told me on Facebook that she calls this "Baby Raven".
    • I imagine the storyline would now segue into Laura's accident. But I hope they manage to keep Leslie around though. I really don't want her to be written out, or get the DOOL treatment where she just pops up every so often to cause some short term trouble; the character and the actor were such a find.
