I admit to not wanting to hear anything more from Sandgren at this point.  I really wouldn't mind if he'd be pushed back to the margins of the Challenger Tour, or better yet the Futures, where I really don't have to see him.

 

As for the U.S. Davis Cup, I don't intend to watch them at all.  I'm not sure why Courier et al. are clinging to that group, it's not like they've won anything.

Tennis Channel discussed the racist pig today. Interesting that they said he was going in hiding for a bit when arriving in the states....LOL. They showed and discussed Serena's tweet to him. How he said how anytime Serena lost was a good day. Just WOW at that statement. How he once stumbled into a gay bar and said no one needs to see that. And many many other things. Martina was rather hot under the collar. And made some bold statements towards him. Also, they said tennis players aren't happy about his comments. Jim Courier discussed how he already had used him as a practice partner for the Davis Cup Team

and what a nice person he was....whatever Jim.

 

On brighter news.....the Hall of Fame was announced and going in will be Helena Sakova(I know I misspelled that but too lazy to go google it...LOL) and Michael Stich. Martina teared up at Jana Novotna when her passing was discussed. BTW Helena was there in person discussing her Hall of Fame induction.

These types of homophobic straight guys always crack me up.  Like he was in such danger in a gay bar.  Yeah, you stumbled into a gay bar where....no one noticed you because you were undoubtedly the ugliest guy and worst dressed in there.  They think because they're straight every gay guy wants them.  So silly and ignorant.  Look in the mirror hun, you're not hot.  You're safe as can be.

Former Tennis Pro Petr Korda's son is competing in the semis in the junior Australian Open Championship.  He is a right handed player while his dad was left handed player.

He is playing under the United States Flag. I guess Petr moved here with his wife(former tennis player too).

Yet, people are still trying to argue that women don't deserve equal prize money.  What a tired argument that I wish would evaporate.

 

James Blake was great in his response to an equal prize money curmudgeon.  His response was basically "You pay the same money for a 90 minute movie as for a 3 hour one".  Also, I'd add that not all three hour movies are good, while many 90 minute movies can be lean, tight and well told stories.

 

 

Yeah, I got up and after seeing that the match had already ended, wondered what happened then read that Chung had retired, which is certainly a disappointment but ranked at #58, he had a great tournament and I am sooo grateful that he put Sandgren out of the tournament.  For me, it was almost as satisfying as watching Venus bounce CoCo out of the tournament in the semis last year.

    • Kim used to say that you can tell when she was unhappy because she would try weird or new things with her hair.  I don't think Rauch was at OLTL at the time Zimmer was but their producer at the time probably wasn't much of a peach either. 
    • I wonder if less set use was preparing for the move. They probably were preparing for this for awhile now 
    • The early part of the season is decent. After that, Season 9 is one of the worst seasons until season 13. Season 10 is a little worse.    That would have made sense, even if it cost us one of my favorite scenes (Ben putting Lilliemae in a headlock). That's an excellent storyline and leads to the show's last strong season finale. 
    • The TVC Studio 31 that they used for 38 years was only about 13,730 sq ft., according to the TVC website specs: https://televisioncityla.com/stages-offices/ Sunset Las Palmas Studios has 11 sound stages, which go up to 20,000 sq ft., though we're yet to learn which of those sound stages will house B&B. Depending on which one, the specs for it can be found here: https://www.sunsetstudios.com/los-angeles/las-palmas-studios/ Sound Stages 4, 5 and 9 are available for use starting September 1, 2025. It's unclear if either of those stages would be used by B&B since they begin production there starting Tuesday, August 19, 2025, which would be before the date shown on the website, but we shall see. Of those three sound stages, only Sound Stage 4 and 5 make sense since they are larger than the specs the show had at TVC, while 9 is quite smaller.  Sound Stage 4 would be the best option overall for B&B since it has 18,819 sq ft., the largest individual sound stage at the lot - Stage 3 and Stage 8 share space, which combined makes the space 19,900 sq ft. --- Forgot to add, unless there was an issue with storing the sets, the changes at TVC should have had no issue with production on the show, resulting in fewer set use as there has been no movement in terms of construction that would impact either show (B&B/Y&R). Of the 2-3 times I've been at the studio, the most recent for Don Diamont's 40 years at CBS, it was the most dead I had ever seen the space, but that could be due to vacations, holidays, or the preparation of the B&B move.
    • I didn't post about it in the BtG thread as I still don't watch the show (an hour runtime is just too much for me right now with a new soap I can't just mostly skip through) but I can't imagine the ego of someone who is hired as a breakdown writer and decides to [!@#$%^&*] their own name all over the show. Classless beyond belief. Any writer who cares more about masturbatory behavior than quality of work should not be hired.
    • Yeah, it would've made things more tightly woven.
    • I like Chelsea and Madison. Two very pretty black women as a potential couple. But I really wish this show would've showcased two very handsome black men as a couple instead.
    • I didn't even think of roasters from GH

      Maybe this roast will take even more than two years
    • Irna wasn't involved with ATWT at the time of Neil's death, was she? I'm imagining a situation where right after his latest doctor's appointment, he's killed.
    • The Cruise of Deception was the first thing that came to mind when I mentioned that Brady might take after that side of the family
