Probably 0…LOL  I was so thrilled that Delpo beat Djoker. I couldn't believe Novak melted down that way after his loss from Delpo. He even refused an interview after the match. Novak hasn't looked right since Paris….although in Monte Carlo he didnt look good either. His win at the Canadian Open last week was pure will and guts and luck. He looked awful at the tournament as well and 3 guys had a chance to beat him earlier there too and they didn't.

Yeah, that took me by surprise when I heard it too.

 

Tennis in Rio is a real sh*tshow at this Olympics. The surface is as slow AF and many of the players are either fighting illness or getting weird injuries and the crowds have been incredibly rude at times.  There are no points for this either. 

I tried to tune into the match between DelPo and Sousa and saw some fight break out in the stands. I'm just over it already. The only thing that will save it for me is if the 3 or 4 people I like that are still in the draw get a chance to get a medal. 

 

John Isner stayed at home thinking he was going to vulture the U.S. summer hardcourt season but Nick snatched that BB&T title that John had assumed he owned. I saw John even tried to change into his Georgia Bulldog colors but it didn't work.

ESPN was saying  how he was going for number 4. BB&T has no competition thats why he keeps winning it…LOL. This year he was unfortunate that Nick played it….LOL  He loves playing the summer tour because the first 2 or 3 tourneys no one good plays them so he wins them….LOL.

Wow, he has a lot of nerve saying that considering he hasn't won anything. Delpo=US Open Champion…how many times has Johnson beat Nadal, Roger or Novak? 0 I guess being the number 1 american player for one week gives you the right to smack talk.LOL.  I hope they meet and Del Po beats him badly. No American player deserves it over Del Po.

 

 

LOLOL…He was close 2nd round….. 

I doubt Americans care…they know how bad USA male tennis is right now. I am sure most would rather see Delpo instead of another mediocre American male tennis player.

I see Sam opened his mouth too in that article. Sam is another useless American player.

    • This can be difficult for a soap to depict. So far she's only shown an interest in women. Will a man come into her life? If she commits to a male, there will be  backlash, but if it's women only, them where is the bi/queer aspect? Personally, I would have liked a single gay male on the show dealing with hook ups/relationships etc. Smitty/Martin married with kids is limiting in those terms.
    • Of course, how could I have forgotten those thrilling episodes depicting the fire? Also we had the GCAC rooftop set that came out every Summer. Moving on to Friday's episode. Victor is propped in his chair, answers his cell and tells the caller 'Let him in'. Seconds later Kyle enters. So does Victor have security on the front porch? It would have been better had Victor taken the call, and then said to himself 'Well Kyle, let's see what you have to say'and fade out. Next scene Kyle enters, indicating that the first call was from the Ranch entrance and time had passed . Nit picky but I get frustrated when they do stuff like that.
    • Jordan was gone from '87 to mid-'89. He left just weeks after Robert's late '86 return.
    • Jordana Brewster is making a new movie. https://deadline.com/2025/06/rob-riggle-jordana-brewster-the-pirate-king-1236426287/ Kelly Rutherford posing for a magazine cover with her son. Kelly Rutherford Photographed with Model Son Hermés, 18, Years After Custody Battle  
    • I don't think Chelsea has a true label just yet. She's just finding out she has an interest in women. I think the awkwardness is aligned with the character as we've seen. This is the fool who keeps filming her family when embarrassing things happen and live streaming it. I actually think it's refreshing she isn't just jumping into a relationship  and that they're playing the beats of her trying to figure out who she is.
    • Wow, do I agree with you. Chelsea is coming off as ridiculous. All she does is look for a woman to date while not caring about her business at all. That she's bi is great, but they're not writing her like she's bi. She seems to be lesbian. Yeah, I know -- "no labels." I just don't find the writing for her story to be anything other than awkward.   -- I hope we get some diagnosis finality with Bill's trip to the hospital. I don't want to see these trips to the ER every other day. -- Naomi is going to blame herself for Bill's health problems? GMAB. -- Ashley doesn't read as a real nurse in the slightest. -- Another day, another rinse and repeat conversation with Derek and Ashley. YAWN. -- Kat is making mistakes, but she's fun to watch and listen to, regardless. -- I still think the Joey/Vanessa/Doug gambling story sucks. I know Doug is deeply in debt, but I don't like him acting this meek and submissive.  -- I'm not sure what Joey's plan was from the beginning, or why he had to seduce Vanessa at all to get his way. I'm not sure what Vanessa ever saw in Joey -- why doesn't he give her the ick? -- I'm fine with a story where Doug and Vanessa take out Joey.  -- The fades to commercials were pretty bad today.
    •   Victoria's house (that she long ago lived in with Billy) burned down (I think Aunt Jordan set it ablaze?). Victoria briefly moved into the ranch after the fire, with Claire, Johnny and Katie, I think? Mariah and Tessa and baby Aria had been living in the tack house but they bought a house we've never seen and moved there. Victoria, Claire, and Cole then moved into the tack house as soon as Teriah left. I guess Victoria's children Johnny and Katie would live with Victoria at the tack house eventually? But Johnny and Katie went to boarding school during the school year. Not sure if we'll see Johnny and Katie for the summer vacation or where they would live.
    • Victoria’s previous house burned down.    And I know why characters frequent Crimson Lights 3 times a day for brownies, muffins and empty mugs:   THERE’S PCP IN EVERYTHING. 
    • Today was a good episode, and the week for that matter. I think they've also done a better job with background music. The scenes in todays episode weren't as silent as they usually are in the background and it was noticeable. I think the show has found its groove well and I'm still invested.
