Did anyone see that match?! Rafa looked so off, his movement was just so bad. I know people often scoff when Rafa underplays his chances but I think he does truly doubt himself sometimes, especially now. I think someone (his Uncle Toni Nadal?) said that Rafa was experiencing an existential lack of confidence (or something like that). I thought it was a bluff, to take some of the pressure off but I'm thinking there is some truth to that statement.

Andy Murray, who came out aggressive, quickly picked up on Rafa's lack of confidence and his lack of adequate movement/footwork and 'went to town', picking Rafa apart. Now that Murray has won 2 clay court titles in two weeks, after never having won a title on clay, I wonder whether people will credit MoMo for these wins as much as people liked to blame her for his early losses for like, the past several months?

Rome is going to be interesting given the variables on the Men's side and the fact that the Women's Draw looks like one giant clusterf uck.

I saw the match and thought Rafa played pretty badly. He is having a lot of bad days…too bad it wasn't against Berdych…LOL That said the French Open is going to be very interesting this year.

It's just been announced that Pennetta and Fognini are to be married next year. I hope Flavia knows what she's in for. Supposedly, it's been alleged that Fognini is more laid back off court but can't he control his behavior better than that on court?

We know he went on to play Rome so he has not been suspended any matches or tournaments. Was he even fined for this?

Why am I just hearing about this today?!

Well, Novak certainly seemed as though nothing could stop him in this tournament--maybe except for a champagne bottle cork.

    • 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.   I just don't see how that makes Ashley any more interesting. And are we really asking for another storyline where a father connects with his adult daughter? I know there's no direct parallel to Eva's story, but come on. If you're in the minority, I'll join you. I have zero interest in any of that. -- I still fail to see Nicole and Vanessa as best friends. Nicole is grounded and stable and responsible, and Vanessa is not. It made more sense to have Dani and Vanessa being close. -- Ashley and Derek were actually OK today. I feel sorry for the actors, honestly, because they've been given nothing. It's crazy, because so much of the rest of the show is firing on all cylinders.    
    • 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 don’t even know why you responded to the bait.
    • 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 
    • 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.
