My favourite Grand Slam is here!! I love it because of the night matches. Hopefully we'll see a lot of 5 setters that end around 12am.

Serena is playing on Monday.

So I responded to Novak message about him not playing the US Open. I must have hit a nerve. He responded back to me.😂😂😂😂

I feel special!😂

Wow, twitter strikes twice.  A week or so ago I got a rise outta Spicey.  I said, wait who were you?  Oh you were one of the White House Secretaries or something for about 5 minutes.  Get a life.  You worked for an enemy of this country when it comes down to it - btw white sale and end of season tiki torch sale down at Walmart for all of your white supremacist needs.  LOLLL.

About 2 months ago pro golfer Rory Mcllory replied to a post I made about the PGA tour.

Tracy Austin's son Brandon Holt has just qualified for the main draw.

He just might knock one of the other young American guys off that Tennis Channel “hype train” that you often complain about.😂 Who’ll it be?

I saw....very happy for Tracy and him.  He won't be in for very long though.  But it was fun to watch him - plays similar to Tracy. They mentioned once about him not even fist pumping, no expending of extra energy, etc.  I didn't hear anyone mention though - Tracy would even switch her racquet to the other hand between points because she didn't even want to grip the racquet or carry it with her hitting hand.  Too tempting to clench onto it under stress between points.

All of them?😂  The tournament hasn't even started and I'm already sick of all the hype ESPN is giving these unproven players. Brandon could play Fritz or Stan who have a qualifier in their first round.

I had laugh because every time he was going to win the match to qualify the rain would start again. He doesn't have any big weapon but a nice backhand.

How embarrassing for Halep.

I cannot for the life of me figure out how she cannot get it together
