I have been paying the barest amount of attention to tennis but I saw that clip of Ugo Humbert taking Carlos Alcaraz out of the Paris Masters tournament and man, the French fans were rocking that entire arena. It must have been a Davis Cup-like environment!

I saw the score too and thought meh.

Grigor recently said he was saddened depressed because Dominic and Rafa were retiring. Said he was having panic attacks. I wonder how much longer he will play.

Wow, I remember seeing a headline showing him with a quote about mental health and how guys need help too but I thought he meant in general. I had no idea that he was struggling. I think more players have struggled with this than has been made public. I had always hoped that Grigor and Gaël would each win at least one major before they retire, but more and more I doubt this will happen.

 If tennis industry would stop trying to label players as machines and superhuman and accept that some days players struggle, I think tennis as a sport could finally be a sport of our times. Personally , I don’t find much entertainment value in pickleball but pickleball allows people to accept that people sometimes have limitations (injuries, age, restrictions on level of ability) yet can still enjoy the game. At least don’t frame the situation as a player being weak if they need help.

Wertheim’s apology:

 

Krejcikova called it out and forced his hand, I think. He may have thought it was a tempest in a teapot that would get ignored. He was hopelessly naive if so:

    • That was the best part of Tuesday's episode.  Martin and Smitty and their family are boring. 
    • Crew Morrow's acting on Tuesday's episode was just dreadful. The weird faces he was making were just awful
    • Creatively, he probably should have stayed with The Doctors, where he stood out as an antihero lead. Not sure what happened with GH. He didn't have the same impact. Was it bad writing, not clicking with co-stars? Didn't they gave him a boat load of money to join GH in 1976? Was Mark Dante just a toned-down version of Nick Bellini? Were they basically the same character?
    • All I can think of is if a lot of big names were leaving around that time she wanted him back as a stopgap, although I have never seen any real evidence that he was popular with GH viewers.
    • I loved watching Shanice hand Leslie her ass and finally shutting her up. It was so good. I also love Martin & Smitty's family.  Anita has to have some sort of plan giving Leslie the tickets to mail for Winterfest. She has to be setting her up for a fall. It's pretty obvious to me Vernon is not cheating with Sharon. I think Sharon is helping him with his terrible singing voice for Winterfest. I still believe Bill & Dani are endgame but I love Dani & Andre too. I am definitely enjoying this story. And making Hayley a black widow is a nice twist.
    • Sorry for the spam. Wasn't sure where to put this, it's from Tony Geary's husband's IG. Tony watching Genie and Maurice on Mo's show.
    • This show is really trundling along BTW. When is someone going to show up to slit Beastmaster's throat or crack the whip on metrosexual Sidwell? (BTW, openly presenting this cheery bon vivant as casually bisexual would at least be something vaguely diverting.) At least kill Brennan by year's end. I'm bored.
    • She told Vanessa to "DOUBLE her offer" on the Jarvis house.  The Jarvis family accepted the doubled price.  Assuming the house has an appraised value of $2,000,000, she's theoretically paid the Jarvis family $4,000,000 for the house.  The bank would loan Leslie 80% of the appraised value ($1,600,000), and Leslie had to pay the balance with cash at closing --- $2,200,000.  She only had ONE million.  Where the hell did she get the rest?!  And now she's got contractors working on the house all day & half the night.  Who's paying THEM?  I keep thinking all this will crash around her.  Either that or the writers have absolutely no idea the limits of a million dollars.  Sounds like a "lot of money", but it obviously ain't when we look at Leslie's spending since she got that million dollar check in August.

    • Vernon is an idiot. Why would he have Sharon in the same hotel that Leslie is staying at?
