Ewwwwww.....I knew CoCo was trashy but come on!

 

ESPN just reported it. Of course Jack Sock did the same thing two years ago when he lost in the first round.

Nishioka just took out Kohlschreiber in a five-setter with a ton of momentum swings apparently. I really like him, and it sucked that he tore his ACL when he was on the verge of really breaking through. Good start to his return, though.

 

Wow, how childish of Coco. I see she's back to her old, entitled ways.

And Jack Sock is gone again...LOLOLOLOL.  He is just horrible. I can't believe he is still in the top 10 with that loss. They were reporting that he had the flu again too....Lawd.....LOL

 

John Isner gone too..LOL....again Justin Gimbelstob was there as his coach

  I thought he was no longer his coach because he was spending too much time away from his family? Does Justin have a thing for John? I had to LOL at Justin's facial expressions during the match...LMAO

 

The Americans as a whole went 2-9 yesterday.

I think I was the only one who was  not surprised by Luksika Kumkhum's straight sets victory over Belinda Bencic. 

In fact, I was expecting it.  Bencic put everything she had into beating Venus, then had little left. 

Kumkhum, on the other hand saw that she wasn't going to face Venus and took one look and Bencic and likely said (in her mind) "I can take this match".

I can't even speak for most of them.  The only realistic prospects that the U.S. women had were Venus, Madison, CoCo and maybe Sloane, with Shelby and Alison only with a good draw having an outside chance at the second week.  So far Madison is really the only one left, I believe.

 

I'm going to exclude Venus, who is 37 and has Sjogren's which is a wildly unpredictable disease. I also wonder if the madness of her previous season has made it a challenge for her to reset herself for this season.

 

The last time Sloane won a match (anywhere), Serena's daughter was still practically in utero.  She also lost the doubles match with Genie Bouchard but they were unlikely to beat Makarova and Vesnina anyway.

 

CoCo went CoCo (see the video posted above).

 

Alison Riske had an actual chance against Kirsten Flipkens. Unfortnately, Riske pulled a Christina McHale, who is usually on the brink of winning before managing to lose.

McHale was a non-factor in her own match, but frankly, I no longer look for great results from her anyway.

      ) Anyways... I did really feel disgusted by Eurovision this year and I doubt I'll watch this horrific musical torture in the future. My ears and my psyche will not survive.  
    • 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
