Lord, where to begin?

 

I thought Sasha played well and so glad he won. I am shocked that he is the first of the younger group to win a 1000 title. He beat Nick and Thiem who I thought would get one before Sasha. And Sasha is now number #10 in the world and will be seeded #9 in Paris. Could they have given him a shittier trophy? This is a 1000 tourney and the trophy looked like a junior tournament trophy made of plastic. IMO clay is not even Sasha's best surface. I think he is far better in hard court and fast indoors.

 

Novak

..he is dr jekyll and mr hyde. He looked awful from the beginning from double faulting to shanking balls all over the place. Where was the yelling?  Where was his pimp thrusting? All we got today was pure obscenities with a warning. He actually should have gotten a point penalty as he continued to curse. I had to LOL at his brother Marko and his wife in the stands. Marko looking at Jelena with the look of here we go again and she was of the look of WTF?  But the best part was seeing Marko react to a bad shot by Novak by laughing...priceless!  

 

And news that Novak will announce Andre Agassi as his new coach on Wednesday. Nice try Boris but he isn't hiring you back....LOL

 

Oh Novak...bye bitch!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Breaking news....

 

Andre will work with Novak starting at the French Open.

Andre and Boris have history and it is loaded with beef, so it's going to be interesting to see those Nolé- related tweets from Boris from now on.

If anything, and I said this ages ago, Boris should've tried to work with Sascha Zverev. Oh well, doesn't look like that will be necessary.

Ah didn't know there was bad blood. Boris was still licking yesterday by posting on twitter on how great Nole played.

 

I think Sasha is fine for now.

 

I usually find the FO dull and my least favorite major but I am looking forward to it this year. So many good storylines this year.

I think it's brilliant. I honestly can't think of a better fit in terms of game, success level, and temperament. Agassi had a way more severe career slump than Novak ever did, so he knows how to bounce back from adversity to achieve great heights.

 

Unlike Andy, Novak seems to be slowly but surely finding his way. He's back in the mix on the Race to London. And I like his chances in Best of Five matches at Roland Garros.

 

I think I can agree with SS that this will be a really exciting RG. Too bad I'll be traveling in SE Asia for the duration of it, but hopefully I can catch some matches.

Easy solution Nicole...start winning.....LOL.

 

I guess it's easy for the Trumpsters like Ryan Harrison to continue playing tennis since they are loaded with money off court.

The costs to a tennis player will ensure that many of the hungriest (and perhaps some of the most promising) athletes will go to more accessible sports.

Perhaps this is one of the reasons why except for a few players, American men have been languishing in the rankings for pretty much a generation.

 

 

Lord.

      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?"
