I think McEnroe felt free to chastize Andy because he was under the illusion that people believe that he left, rather than the reality that they didn't want him to continue in the position and that he was fired. I think the USTA mistakenly allowed him to spin the story that he didn't want to move full time to Florida so they parted ways. Good for Andy for chucking his failure in his face. Patrick should have kept his yapper shut.

Could you imagine how his brother John would've reacted had some tennis commentator said to him what Patrick said to Andy after a loss?

I remember when they made the announcement about Patrick leaving the USTA and everyone on ESPN was so pathetic going on and on how great he was blah blah blah stuff….

I wonder what John thinks about the Andy vs his brother….LOL

Curious to hear Patrick comment on Andy's next match…LOL….should be interesting…or if they interview him…or next encounter at a major…LOL

Also in the category of deleted tweets, apparently Brad Gilbert had to hastily delete one of his about the U.S. Men's Claycourt Championships. Supposedly, he got the twitter handle for the USMCC wrong and accidentally tagged a gay men's porn site in his tweet! ohmy.pnglaugh.pngblush.png Maybe this mishap will cause him to take a look at his misspellings of words too and maybe proofread a little before he tweets.

I'm telling you, anyone who misses the good ole' fashion DRAMA that Daytime Soaps used to be about, should really check out tennis these last several months. Starting with the Swiss! That stuff with the Davis Cup last year, now Stan and his estranged wife releasing dueling statements about their separation and impending divorce and Stan's wife really got her burn on with that scorching statement she released in retaliation for Stan's initial statement.

Throw in Martina Hingis trying to woo Roger or Stan for mixed doubles in Rio (remember her storied love life?!

I didn't even get to the whole Romania's Fed Cup team hates Genie Bouchard thing...

Stan and his wife had separated before and got back together. There were rumors that Stan wanted to concentrate all his time on tennis and nothing else…I think this was last year…right when he won the Aussie Open. What did his wife say? As for Martina…it was nice seeing her play singles again for Fed Cup…I wish she would return to the tour full time…I loved her game.

As for Genie…ugh…she is full of herself …I never liked her and the non handshake well…..bad on her……she was getting bashed on Twitter this weekend for the non handshake.

Halep had a few words about Bitch Bougie including her lack of proper upbringing. Dulgheru's handshake was simply a matter of sportsmanship not wishing your opponent luck. After Dulgheru beat Bougie, she mocked her on court.

Stan is a [!@#$%^&*] idiot. How do you ditch your family for sports? Fed and Djoker are making it work!

And RIP Stefano Capriati :( :( :(

Oh my goodness, Stefano Capriati passed away!! Oh man, poor Jennifer and her brother and family! That is sad. I wonder whether there was any connection between Stefano's health and Jennifer's twitter rants?

@soapsuds-- Stan's wife Ilham dragged his azz! It's really none of anyone's biz but sh*t, it's juicy! She said that people shouldn't blame her or the marriage for Stan's recent spate of downgraded results since they've been separated for months now and Stan won Chennai even though they were separated. She also stated that players with better results (*coughs* Federer and Djokovic) are married and have committed family lives. She also basically intimated that Stan wanted to mess around like a single man, using words like "betrayal".r

JMO but I think that marriage was doomed from the very start. The fact that they separated then reunited around the time she was pregnant, says that he did not want to be married. Some people are not meant to be married. I think Stan might just be one of those people.

Yes poor Stefano died of cancer..it was reported on the Tennis Channel on Sunday I believe…..and I knew Stan was scum when I heard last year he wanted all his time spent on his tennis and nothing else. I have to sY I don't care for Andy Murray as a tennis player but he said it best… he wanted someone to spend the rest of his life with because tennis isn't forever….there is life besides and after tennis.

I'm not going to judge single minded people but I'm just saying don't get married then and don't have kids if you want to focus solely on tennis. If you do end up having a child, liked Stan did, just accept the fact that you have to be a parent regardless of your hopes and ambitions-- just hope you can work it out as a co-parent with the other person--still no need to get married. Seems like Stan wanted to be like Roger but they are two different people and Roger's relationship seems a lot more solid than Stan's ever was and clearly Roger is not at a loss to commit, seems like Stan wanted the respectability of a marriage and family life but deep down wasn't truly about it.

Honestly, I don't think that his wife would've said anything until Stan put out that cheesy statement trying to cast himself in the best light as trying his best, which must've ticked off his wife and she busted him. He should've tried to release the joint statement or not say anything at all.

      BTG: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      I think Dani cares about her sister, but I agree with you. She's using this whole mess to be heard and make herself feel better. I wish Ted and Eva told her to fck off. I had to laugh when Dani commented on her and Anita confronting Ted. She acted as if they destroyed him. That's not what I saw. Dani has been dialed back from those first weeks, but I can't say she's likable. As long as she's throwing shade at Eva for her work as a hairstylist -- while ignoring that she did nothing except eat celery sticks and walk the runway -- she can kiss off. Barely tolerable, and Lindstrom is terrible in the role. I don't find him scary at all, and his money laundering plan is stupid as hell. I gagged when he texted Vanessa to ask if she was thinking about him. That's throw up time.

      Same. But given how the writers like to have her have good moments and bad moments...and Dani has been background as of late...it's about time she had some bad moments.

      I only watch for Sharon and she’s barely on. The only good thing going at the moment is Jack and Diane scenes and they’ve made Diane such a wuss lately which is making that unbearable to watch too

      Looking back...Primetime Ratings from the 80's

      By Khan · Posted

      I feel like Earl Hamner and his crew brought in Richard* BECAUSE they knew almost right away that Robert Foxworth was so dull as Chase.  At any event, Richard, IMO, proved to be much more interesting as Angela's chief adversary. (*Or brought him back, depending on whether we're including the original "Vintage Years" pilot).

      And it will also eventually air S2, which will air its finale in Canada this Thursday, May 15th! https://tvline.com/news/law-and-order-toronto-criminal-intent-season-1-2-the-cw-1235449356/ As an American that has managed to watch it in real time, it's very good. Frankly, I think it's the best of the L&O franchise as of now.

      You are getting like me. It's getting to the point that without any Damian sightings...it's been the fashion that is holding my interest. And it should not be that way at all.

      I don't mind Jan either. If anything, they could be using her more to get her daughter's POV. Not to mention her role as one of the Have-Nots.    I also don't mind the local talent. Just look at soaps that were in NY or the shows that film there, they always go for the local talent and we get to find new faves.

      I'm not going to watch (because...well...that M-dude...lol) but knowing the history between Henry and Roger, I could see Henry wanting to enable Hart to stay independent of Roger. I could even see it as Henry having the last laugh at Roger. Roger hated "the Henry's" of the world, which basically meant anyone who had money and social prominence. Twice Roger swindled Henry out of a chunk of his fortune, so giving some to Hart, who hates his father, is a form of karma.
