Konta...blech! 

With all the foolishness with crappy weather and courts in crap condition, looks like the Italian Open is going to get the winners it deserves this year. 

I was about to post something like this. Konta has never won a clay court match at Paris. 

Damn it. I wanted to post my “Konta lost” Venus video.

 

If Kiki had won, she’d have been #2 in the world.

Only because every other WTA player was practically a corpse in Rome this year!

Talk about a complete bust.....Konta and Diego in a masters 1000 finals and semis......dreadful

No comments on today's matches or Nadal's comments after his win?  Crickets chirping...LOL

I couldn’t watch, but read that Novak looked awful. First-ever bagel set in their entire h2h. Then he managed to take the second. Anywho, I just got back from a trip, so I haven’t been following things as much as usual.

I saw bits and I mean bits of the men's final and completely skipped the women's final. Joker looked exhausted. Nadal was acting rather big shot after the win and mouthing off about how he was going full speed ahead....pleasssseeeeeee bitch.......the tournament fell his way in every way from the rain to two matches in one day to not playing Thiem to playing an exhausted Tsitsipas and Joker. I even posted this on TC social media. Rafa had an easy draw and exhausted players....Tsistipas played 5 straight weeks...crazy....

Gulbis gonna Gulbis.

 

 

Gotta be honest and say that I too watched that roof opening event instead.

 

Djokovic and Nadal battling it out once again in the Rome final on Amazon Prime. But the big tennis ratings winner in the UK this afternoon is the hit and giggle under the new roof at Wimbledon, given a prime afternoon slot for three and a half hours on BBC One. Millions watching

Hilarious.

 

 

 

Nadal gets a qualifier the first and second round....is this rigged? Joker gets Hurcowitz first round..he's dangerous ..

Nadal’s RG draws are always comical. Pretty much every threat is on the other half. I wish there was more transparency with the draws.

 

Apparently Paire played his most disciplined match ever to win the Lyon title, but FAA is injured, which is a shame.

I hadn't realized how easy Nadal's draw is. Everyone who has beaten him on clay this year is on the top half minus Tsitsipas. Rafa better not win!

 

Early tomorrow morning first round begins.....hope Roger is upset.....he is playing a dirt baller....

I hope he retires soon! He bores me to tears.
