Did anyone see the Sabalenko vs Tsurenko match? What the heck happened there?!

Seems like there is a recent trend of tennis players going to prison, narrowly avoiding prison, or under threat of possible prison time. Sanchez Vicario was known for being so clever on court, apparently not so much IRL.

I was watching Sinner on plus. Now watching Tsity and Van Assche.

Add Sasha to the list who could get five years for beating his girlfriend. Although they've said he probably get probation for it.

Both of his previous girlfriends have accused him of the same crime.

Oh, he was definitely the one I was referring to as possible jail time but you’re likely correct to say that it will probably be some kind of probation or suspended sentence or some combination of the two. I didn’t see any of the post match interviews but I read that a reporter asked him about the case/allegations and he looked bewildered and caught off guard by the questions. Surely, he had to expect that someone sometime would ask him about this.

Admittedly, I saw next to none of the women’s final (I had a feeling that Zheng’s nerves as a first time finalist would be no match for Sabalenka’s power and high level of confidence and focus. I had hoped the final might be competitive but had an underlying doubt that it would actually be.
I saw more of the men’s final and that was a lot more competitive. I missed the first two and a half sets, so I clicked on in time to catch Medvedev, right on schedule, get snagged by his 2 sets lead problem. Still, Sinner did earn that title with some hard fought wins, most of which, admittedly, I didn’t see.

Just imagine how he will feel once the court trial comes to the fore. After he got knocked out of the tournament, ESPN finally felt obliged to make a statement detailing the charges.

It took decades but I think ESPN has ultimately ruined tennis for me. I am seriously considering purchasing a VPN so I can watch RG and Wimbledon on their native broadcast networks.

Sasha pretty much said that people who believed his ex were stupid.

He's a scumbag.

Glad Sinner won. He was down two sets when I turned the tv off but DVR the rest. First time in a long time that a player I like won a major.

VPN?

Doesn’t he mean ex-girlfriends? Lest he forget that he’s had more than one woman make an allegation of abuse.

VPN is Virtual Private Network. I use a free one which is good for when I make financial transactions online but it’s limited to the U.S. I need a VPN that will allow me access to Europe.

Here is an explanation of VPNs.

      Thanks @P.J. If my math is correct, Jordan Clarke runs were 1983-1987, 1989-1993, 1997-end.

      I was/am mainlining both the Dream Season and Season 7 of KL together, since that was the year of their big creative swap. That's the most I can take of Dallas consecutively. But I've been very preoccupied with other shows and work IRL and I need to get back to it after a long break from my Knots binge.

      Wk 1 95/96 MSW moves to Thurs, Cybill takes the Sunday slot. Thurs 8-9pm NBC Friends #3 20.5/33 The Single Guy #6 19.2/30 CBS Murder She Wrote #55 9.3/15 ABC Charlie Grace #74 7.6/12 FOX Living Single # 78 7.2/12 The Crew #80 7.0/11 Sunday 8-9pm NBC Mad about You # 15 14.6/23 Hope & Gloria #35 11.7/18 ABC Lois & Clark # 38 11.4/18 CBS Cybill #49 9.8/15 Almost Perfect #65 8.1/12 FOX Space Above & Beyond (2nd hr of 2hr episode) #51 9.5/15 60 Minutes was #19 so a lot of viewers didn't stay for Cybill. On Sunday, Sept. 24, CBS finished third on the night, and its performance among 18 -49 year olds was worse than it was with the older skewing Murder, She Wrote in the time period last year.  So moving MSW was a foolish move at that point. It was compatible with 60 Minutes and would probably have finished Top 20-25 for the week. They should have left Sunday alone and concentrated on other nights..

      I’ve been watching Knots and FC rather compulsively for a while now. Currently in fall 1983 with both. I had Dallas in there, too, but I am rather shocked at how stale that show gets after Jock’s death. Meanwhile, I can spend hours in the vineyards and in the cul-de-sac.

      What will actually change though? Does this mean the sets will be different too? Or how exactly is this gonna look like to the viewers?

      Passions had Chad sleeping with his cousin nephew Vincent, ironically played by Daphne Duplaix (disguised as Valerie)

      Same tbh. His brother got all the attention as he got older and hotter but Eric I like best. I need to get back to this show.
