Fuk u Fowler for making fun of fans who stayed to watch Thiem practice on center court. I am sure if it were Roger or anyone else you wouldn't have said a thing. 

 

Fowler: Don't those people have anything better to do than watch Thiem practice...laughter from Fowler. 

 

And continue to bet against him like you did today and saying Raonic had it in the bag. 

 

And your laughter while Thiem was serving for the finals was in bad taste u ugly monkey face trash.

 

Thiem got the last laugh.

Yet, they brought up John McEnroe's conflict of interest when he was Raonic coach while they chatted with Mary Joe and then her asking Thiem how he'd play Roger in the finals.....lawd....

This is me right now and Thiem's mom......she was tearing up as Thiem accepted the trophy......

I was surprised that the fans weren't as loud for Roger as they were last year. They were horrible last year when Roger played Del Po. ESPN and Brad Gilbert are getting blasted for not showing the trophy ceremony saying it was in bad taste and some saying if Roger had won they wouldn't have cut it off. I am noticing a lot of Roger fans were happy for Thiem except for his insane fans....LOL. Again Chris Fowler has no clue what is going on where Tennis or Thiem is concerned. Thiem was already ranked #4 so it is not a new high ranking as Fowler was reporting....

 

I am so happy he won! I was going to post a lot of gifs already out on his win....but I won't get crazy....LOL...

 

Rewatching it on TC and of course Brett Haber gives Thiem no chance of winning...can't wait to hear his reaction after the match is over....LOLOL

I'm still in shock and disbelief! LOLOL

I want to like her but she gets on my nerves...LOL

 

Her complaining to her coach that she was tired.....really? Lawd....I had to just laugh at her complaining.....LOL

And can Thiem fire Bresnik and keep only Nicolás Massú as his coach? He brings so much energy to Thiem and his box. Bresnik just sits there looking all grumpy all the time. Massu was up in almost every point in his match against Raonic on Saturday.

Congrats to Andresscu!  That was big for Canadian tennis - winning a premier tournament like this.  

 

 

This moment was awesome to see. It was so candid.  We got to see her admit that she's struggling, but more importantly, we got to see how much she wanted to win.  I've never seen it before.  When did they allow coaches to talk their player?  I always thought it was dumb that coaches weren't allowed to coach their players during the game.  It was like out of a movie or TV show where a coach gives a good pep talk and the player/team goes out in wins.  Bianca battled through injury, the heat, and losing 3 match points where she could've easily mentally shut down but she got through that.  And she's only 18.   What a fighter.    On March 18, 2018, she was ranked 196.   One year later she's ranked 24.   Keep it up!

 

 

"I want this so bad!"  You know how inspiring that's going to be for people, especially those girls in Canada playing tennis?

Just when you thought you knew all about this character named Justin Gimelstob, there are articles like this one that drop even more nuggets that make you say "ugh".

 

Justin Gimelstob: the chequered history of the man who wants to take over tennis

 

“He is very loud and energetic, and maybe you like it or don’t,” said Ivan Ljubicic, a former world No.3 who served alongside him. “The board meetings were never very quiet when he was around.”

    • It actually felt like TM-G was a bit softer in her scenes with nu-Ted that kind of matched his meeker energy as Ted on Friday. I was very curious how she’d play off him and now I have my answer.
    • My thoughts exactly! Fantastic find @DRW50!  
    • That was interesting; thanks. Courtney looks tired and/or bored AF, LOL!
    • 5-12   Lord have mercy.   I'm not sure how I feel about it. Perhaps what I said last week or the week before last. If the highlight of a soap is what people are wearing and not the writing, that's not a good thing. And that was how I was feeling watching this. There was not anyone that I was interested in seeing in the episode outside of Daniel and Sally tbh. Because Daniel continues to be the only thing that humanizes Phyllis for me.    I could care less for the Billy/Sally scenes where he's woe is me. I could care less about Kyle/Claire since the writers took all the drama right out of the pairing. Humanized or not, I could care less for Giggly Heffa.    I barely care for Teriah. But for me, it's nice to see something going on with them. Though it seems so horribly contrived.    I liked the costume designer appears to be trying to find individual styles for some of the characters. For me, Tessa's with the boots stood out given her indie musician history. It seems like Claire's style is coming into its own with block colors. I like Kyle's wardrobe is loosening up somewhat. I even loved the striped dress that Phyllis had on.    But again...where is the writing?
    • It was reported that Jane Wyman absence in the final season was due to health (it's documented that Jane was diabetic) but I believe her episodes being cut was a budget mode move. Similar move Dallas pulled in 1990, it was reported that Barbara Bel Geddes retired due to health (it's documented that Barbara had a heart condition) but I say salary dump. Jane Wyman only acted once after Falcon Crest, a 1993 episode of Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman, but she lived another 14 years after that. Barbara Bel Geddes did not act again after her last episode of Dallas in 1990 but she lived another 15 years after that. The trifecta of suck at Lorimar was Les Moonves, Leonard Katzman, and Michael Filerman. It was a pattern across all three CBS primetime soaps in the off the rails plus budget mode era to salary dump the long-time female cast members and bring on sweet young things hired on the cheap. 
    • To be fair, more than half of them are dead now. 
    • Kat may be a privileged elitist but that's not entirely true.  Kat first met Eva when Eva was snooping at Nicole's desk, so Kat's first impression of Eva wasn't very good.  Plus, Kat's instinct to not trust Eva was 100% right.  Kat's attitude toward Eva had nothing to do with Eva not "bowing" down to Kat, and her feelings toward her half-sister is very justified......minus the making fun of Eva's clothes of course. 
    • They said that this has metastasized to his bones, but the type of "aggressive" prostate cancer he has is actually very common and is treatable, or at least manageable. So the headline is misleading.   Apparently this type of cancer is hormonal which makes it somewhat treatable? But still, of course, sad.  Thinking of him and his loved ones.
    • Kat is a spoiled brat princess and Silk Press Sheila called her out on it.  Silk Press Sheila is someone not to mess with. I was actually scared for Kat when she was alone with Silk Press Sheila and recording their conversation.
    • It is funny that Stephanie and Philip still hide/blush/get embarrassed at the sight of each other.  Meanwhile, Kate's pouring coffee for Rafe at the pub as if they're only casual acquaintances.  Although, if Kate blushed every time she saw one of her former lovers, she'd be permanently red.
