If only Venus had held serve after she broke Muguruza in the 3rd set!

Venus didn't take full advantage of Muguruza's somewhat limited sense of movement, which Garbiñe was good at masking this time by making the match a hitting match.

 

Still, considering clay is probably Muguruza's best surface and Venus had only had one match on green clay before this week, QFs isn't that bad. Although Muguruza really did little this year, she likes to really bring her best when she faces a big-time opponent.

For instance, look at her results against Serena in the French Open final last year!  

 

Oh well, I'm glad Vee beat Konta yesterday because I was so sick of her losing to her!

Gawd...that was one awful set from Del Po. If that's all he can get from his backhand he might as well retire now.

All of my favs have won today minus Venus but that wasn't even shown. I don't want Novak to win but it looks like he will. He better expect a much tougher match tomorrow with Thiem.

I watched Venus' match on a dodgy AF Italian stream where the commentators talked so damn much they practically gave me a headache!

 

Aww, DelPo's backhand has slowly been improving, maybe he's having a bad day today? I don't want him to retire. I don't know what the solution is to Novak because I'm not watching but I'm sure knowing Nadal is out of the tournament has put a bounce in Novak's step, he's totally going to go all out for the rest of this tournament.

He barely held serve in the second set. He isn't playing well. Novak is playing ok but not great. There is a rain delay thank gawd!  If the match isn't completed tonight it will carry over tomorrow.

Lord...TC sure sucks. They already went to the international feed. It's like 2pm in California and Tracy Austin and Co. already closed shop? Ridiculous!

 

 

You sure find those matches don't you?

My cable provider doesn't get Bein. I was LOL at the TC commentators saying that only 2 people were watching the women's matches since no one gets that channel....LOL

 

The match between Novak and Del Po has been officially postponed until tomorrow morning at 6:30 am followed by the Sasha vs Isner match at 7:30 am.

Here is the new schedule for tomorrow

Exactly! With the exception of Slams, there's no telling when we will consistently get  WTA matches!  Simon is an idiot!  I don't believe all (if any) of the players know. Serena posted the other day she was watching TC and only men's matches were on. A fan told her what was up.

Muguruza ditched the press after her match. Her people pushed back her press conference from 10 pm Local time to 11pm and then she never showed up.

Many who waited for Garbiñe were pissed since it was so late, many tennis journos were soaked from the storm (it rained cats and dogs) and many hadn't eaten since they had waited around for her.

 

Seriously, I wonder whether Muguruza might have further injured herself during the match and wanted to avoid any possible questions about it, perhaps additional treatment?  It's going to be interesting to see how that strapped thigh is doing come tomorrow. 

I bet Svitolina is going to try to run Muguruza ragged tomorrow.

 

@ChitHappens I saw that too!  It's a darn shame when one of your most illustrious players can't find her own sport on the damn TV! That guide was created by a fan. He was on cloud 9 because Serena favorited his tweet to her!

    • ... a sign of life, a creature unknown to me. I've found myself in my favourite soap opera town, I'm going to make sure to ...
    • Today's episode was pretty lousy -- definitely the worst in a while. -- Ashley is awful beyond words. I hope Derek dumps her basic ass. Scratches on the fridge? First of all, can someone in production put te refrigerator hinges on the right side??? The door doesn't even open into the kitchen area.      Second, if you're going to make a BIG FCKING DEAL out of a scratch, then show the damn scratch. They didn't, and it was stupid. Also, the lack of product placement WHEN DEREK WAS CLEANING made no sense. Is he too dumb to use P&G products? -- Ashley's treatment of Derek is despicable. If a guy treated a woman this way, this board would be screaming abuse. She acted like a spoiled brat, and I have NEVER gotten the idea that she loves Derek. -- And then Ashley -- the new super nurse -- calls off work because she had a meltdown over a scratch and a leftover??? And goes to a bar??? Jesus. What terrible writing. -- For me, Ben Gavin (Derek) was MUCH better today than Jen Jacob (Ashley). -- Also bad...Cady McClain. I don't know what she's doing, but she needs to stop it. She's terrible in this role, and BTG should get rid of that character. She doesn't work. -- Vanessa has been turned into a complete slut. Messing with Diego? OK. But now they're writing her like she can't keep her legs closed.     And then she talks with Doug, acts like they've figured things out, then walks away without asking Doug WHAT he's hididng from her. -- Dani and Andre look good in bed, but let's move on, OK? Just seeing those two have hot sex isn't enough. I don't think Dani's reason for not going public with him make any sense, either. More bad writing. -- Today we got a discussion of Tomas' tattoos. You mean Kat has never seen the guy's arms before? Huh? More bad writing. -- Also, I still can't believe Alex Alegria (Tomas) has been acting for well over a decade. Jesus. -- Why would Ted give Eva a photo of herself for her birthday? WTF was that? -- Dana and Jacob were decent. Those were the only scenes that made sense. Last week was great, but we're off to a really slow start this week.
    • This episode was not it! Derek really cleaned a stainless steel fridge with a scouring pad? Is this grown ass man an idiot? You can't tell me he wouldnt realize this is a bad idea considering he just talked about taking good care of his car. I'm sure he'd know not to take a scouring pad to the exterior of his car and why.  Ashley's annoyance was fine, but she took it to an extreme that was unnecessary and made her even more annoying and intolerable. Derek even went out of his way to offer to replace it and then made the effort to buff out the scratches. She really is unlikable...also, where did yall say you've seen her before and that she was good...because today's performance was giving mid.  "I'm a boy scout...I follow every lead..." Excuse me, Jacob. Why couldn't he just say he's thorough. It was an odd thing to say. Even figuratively, I wouldn't think of using that term in this instance. Diego, a model? I'm sorry, but let's be reasonable here.  Another weird moment was Tomas guilting Kat for choosing to put her half-sister in jail over dinner with him. We can all agree that Kat was gunning for Eva since day one and doing too much, but the girl actually thinks and has incriminating audio that Eva may have tried to kill someone and boy is being a pick me. I can't.  There was another really strange moment early on that I completely just blanked on. I think this has been my least favorite episode since the premiere. The good: Pamela and Dani showing off their friendship was cute. As much as I hate that casino, their moments together were nice.

    • Oh lawd Steffy invited that bland b*tch back to Forrester. Thankfully she said all isn't forgiven and her flop line isn't returning.  Liam was so annoying toyda like a kid in a car asking over and over "are we there yet?"
