I flove Dimitrov but it is weird to see him at #4 considering his year was great half of the year and the rest of the year he hasn't done much. He will probably end the year at #4 but he has a lot of points to defend at the beginning of the year in Australia...720 points. So he won't be there very long. I see either Thiem or Cilic leaving #4 at the Aussie Open. It should be a very interesting Aussie Open with everyone back and the weird seeding. I think Kei is going to be seeded as low as #24 with Delpo as high as #10.

Serena is getting married tomorrow and in a few weeks so is John Isner. Brett Haber asked Jim Courier if he had gotten invited to Serena's wedding and he said nope but said....I did get invited to John's wedding. Brett Haber....I don't think John's wedding invite compares to getting one from Serena's wedding event of the year....ouch....hahahahaha

Yeah, she's getting married in New Orleans.  I also heard she might have an exclusive agreement with Vogue magazine to release wedding pictures (not sure whether that's true).

 

John Isner-meh. LOL.

 

I'm surprised at the number of people who are surprised that Thiem and Mladenovic are dating. Supposedly, he mentioned it in an interview he did with some Austrian magazine. 

I just assumed everyone knew, she's been in his box at matches for several months now.

Lucky bitch.....LOL  For some reason though I feel Thiem might be bisexual.

 

Did you happen to catch his match today? His mom and dad were there and I think two of his younger brothers and a sister. I didn't know he had that many siblings.

I'm still waiting for Grigor to date a guy. Maybe he has and it wasn't reported. Never thought he'd win the year end championship. It got him around 1500 points and a year end rank at #3. Never saw that happening after his poor performances after the Aussie Open.

 

So the final rankings.....

1. Rafa Nadal

2. Roger Federer

3. Grigor Dimitrov

4. Alexander Zeverev

5. Dominic Thiem

 

It should be a very interesting Aussie Open come Jan with all the men back and Serena back as well.

It is sad.  I have memories of that breakdown on the shoulder of the Duchess of Kent during the trophy ceremony at Wimbledon.  I was so happy for Novotna when she eventually won the title.

 

It was reported that when Martina was undergoing treatment for her breast cancer, that Novotna often drove her to her appointments.

    • Ashley just wants to schtup Andre. She needed to create a big meltdown in order to get rid of Derek and feel no guilt. Doug needed to lay Joey out on the floor. He needs to get some courage and beat Joey down to the ground. Kat turning down a date with Tomas to see if Eva was locked up is a sign she's going to lose him. Even without Eva in the picture she was going to have problems. The way she talked to him when he bumped into her and she didn't know it was him seemed to be a red flag too. Leslie has revealed a whole lot of the truth on her own. Without her making all those comments to Kat she wouldn't have ended up at the police station.

    • Regarding the mobster storyline: The scripts, the cardroom set, and the writing for Joey -- are all terrible. They seem to be writing a realistic depiction of compulsive gambling as an addiction, showing that it pops into his head all the time -- it has become hardwired into his brain.  The APA (American Psychological Association) describes compulsive gambling as having a similar effect on the physical brain as drug and alcohol addiction. https://www.apa.org/monitor/2023/07/how-gambling-affects-the-brain I think Jason Graham (Doug) is doing an adequate job playing Doug as a compulsive gambler, with the thoughts/urges coming into his head all the time, and being unable to stop. However, the cardroom set is awful and the mobster storyline is a bad cliché, so it's all so uninteresting to watch. I think Mr. Graham is doing the best he can with the crap they gave him to work with. If anyone reading or watching has a gambling issue, check out Gamblers Anonymous.  They have many types of meetings -- in-person, online, video, audio, etc.  They also have resources for friends/family of compulsive gamblers.
    • Today was painful (especially for Philip).  I still feel for Xander. He was clear he was happy sharing and working with Philip. It's just one more betrayal from someone he loved. Going back to last year when he found out about Victor and Fiona, then Alex and Philip. He forgave and tried. Then Philip went behind his back again. He's been walking on the edge for weeks. This is a man who was abused, neglected and has never had any therapy for his horrific past. He has zero coping skills because he's never learned them. I hate this but I refuse to hate Xander
