Why would he give it a rest when he keeps winning? Who cares what a bunch of folks on social media think? He has enough fans. You don’t need to be the most popular player in the world. 

 

Anywho, he’s now 25-22 against Roger and 27-25 against Rafa, the “GOATs.”

Novak is the one that makes it a big deal when he yells at the fans for supporting Roger during matches...he needs to move on....he wants to be loved like Roger is and it aint happening....and UGH to Kei making it....he is getting on my nerves too......

Kei got in by default....lawd he is. on my hate list too....

John Isner and Justin praying and using their voodoo magic in hopes that Rafa pulls out....LOL.....that's all that needs to happen...lawd...awful.....love the satisfaction that both are upset by this.....LOL

There have been a lot of “Nole!” chants in Paris this week.

 

Dude is spent today and has been battling a cold all week, which any reasonable viewer could see. Nadal pulling out after the draw meant Fed and Novak were on the same side. Yesterday’s semi should have been a final.

 

Khachanov is great, though. I like him. The Russians (plus Zverev, Shapovalov, and Tsitsipas, all of Russian descent) are really leading the NextGen.

Wow, Karen Khachanov bullied that baseline today, lol!  Of the GenerationNex group, his volleys are a cut above the rest, from what I've seen.

 

Even if Nolé is fatigued, he's beaten people looking much worse than he did today, so Karen still had to go out there and take the match and congrats to him!

Fair play to Khachanov. He’s the only guy other than Sascha of that group to win a huge title like this. I don’t think Roger would have fared better in this match.

 

Certainly it’s a more satisfying winner than last year’s champion.

I'm like what mother names her son Karen....LOLOLOL....Isn't Agassi Armenian too? 

 

And Lawd Karen's uncle is hot....LOL...the one Sascha was complaining about....LOL. I see where Karen gets his good looks. 

Roger would have faired worse.  And speaking of Sascha...he is already complaining that he is tired and that the season is too long.......pleaseeeeeee....he is such a whiny bitch......

 

And speaking of Isner....fans are hoping that Nadal does play...they don't want to see Isner anywhere near the year end championships....to quote the tennis fans...."He is a BORING player to watch"

It's more likely that his father named him since his father is Armenian. Yes, Agassi is ethnically Armenian, though his father was from Iran.

I don't know if you remember the tennis player Sargis Sargsian (he's friends with Andre) who retired sometime ago but he is also Armenian. 

Not for nothing but Serena's husband is Armenian-American too.

    • Poor Philip. I appreciate how seriously his and Xander’s scenes were taken though. It felt like real drama and not like a big joke. You could actually feel Xander’s pain and anger. It adds another dynamic to the Kiriakis family storylines and I’m looking forward to the effects that this is going to have across the canvas. I can see them weaving Kate and Roman into this storyline as well. And it would be really nice if this somehow helped cause conflict for Stephanie/Alex too, especially because of what Alex did today. With any luck, Stephanie will be furious about it.  And I’m glad that Sarah has Maggie to confide in about her secret. I also liked seeing Steve and Shawn (and their matching jackets

      ) continue to be on the case. Kevin, revealing everything to them is another interesting turn in this storyline. Plus, it seems the writing has improved for Shawn as well. 
    • TBF, I don't think we've seen her interact enough with the "have-nots" to know if she is or isn't. It's possible, but I don't think you can say that from her interactions with Eva and Silkpress.
    • You're right - though I did confuse his name with an actual actor who was on Dynasty.

    • "Might" is not "is". And I was talking about the specific case about her attitude to Eva. 
    • But she can still be a priveliged elitist. She might have the same attitude to anyone from 'the wrong side of the tracks' whether they had an agenda or not. Nicole seems to be an outlier in her family.Her parents, kids and sister seem to think themselves above reproach.
    • Damian's clothes have definitely been a specific look -kinda reads 70's pimp to me . I guess it's a trend?? but it seems more suited to Holden. JR is 51  and I guess Damian is supposed to be a little younger but it looks a little odd on him in my book. But at least they're trying. The men's clothing has been bland/generic for years-either suits or basic casual stuff interchangeable  b/w them.
