A well placed body serve can truly be effective sometimes.  Venus and Serena have been really effective at serving up some pivotal body serves in their careers, it wouldn't surprise me if Mouratoglou noticed by watching the Williams Sisters use this shot and advised his players on how effective it can be.

The problem with Roger is he hasn't had that bad loss unless you count that loss at the US Open to whats his name....LOL. Pete Sampras had that awful loss at Wimbledon and then retired after the US Open which he won. He knew it was time. Roger is loses to the top 10 players and some outside but hasn't had that loss that says to him....I can no longer win......his career was extended because of Murray and Novak's injuries which gave him 3 extra majors he wouldn't have won if they were on the tour.

Oh please it was a lucky guess. Bad luck to win this tournament anyway. Ask Sascha whose had an awful year after winning it last year. And Grigor...where is he now a days since winning it? I tell you its bad luck.

Whether or not it was a guess, Chit can answer for herself, I think. 

You won't get any arguments from me on the value of the YEC though.  On both the WTA and the ATP, the entire tournament means very little, other than points and money.  Still, I think the winners will be pretty happy with both the money and the points.  Especially on the women's side, where the WTA's prizemoney totals eclipsed the men's, lol.

You told me didn't you?...lol

 

I wanted Thiem to win of course...I guess mainly for the points...lol. Distance himself from Medvedev and Tsitsipas. YEC is a weird tourney...gives out lots of points....isn't a major or 1000 tournament yet its made a big deal because it involves the final 8 yet the last 4 years the#1 player hasn't won it. The last 3 that have won it had bad luck....Murray major injures...Grigor...where is he?....Sascha had a bad year....won just one tournament...a 250 one at that. 

 

And thIs tournament has two trophies...#1 ranking trophy and the winner of the tourney...lol....just too much...

Who TF is gonna watch Davis Cup during the God*amn weekday??!  I tried to stream a match on the "official" website and the livestream was f*cked!  I gave up and I no longer care about Davis Cup. 

Sorry but Pique trying to make DC like FIFA World Cup is not a good idea. As it is I won't be able to care about DC until the weekend, Thursday afternoon at the very earliest.

Ugh.  Pre-emptions and Tennis channel is running re-runs.  

 

The women's year end finals were terrible...people retiring various times.  And I just don't think Ash Barty is all that.  

 

Meanwhile how have I missed the hotness that is Belinda Bencic's boyfriend?  He is tasty.

I agree re: Roger.  He's still advancing deep into draws and is still competitive.  I was talking with a friend who follows even more closely than I do and he thought the same thing - I think Tsitsipas, Thiem, Zverev are likely the heirs.  Medvedev is like watchiing paint dry for me.  Kyrgios I think is going to be the player that never reaches potential...I don't know what it is with him...I don't care for him but he has more potential but is such a hothead.  When you get into a fight with the chair umpire over wanting a white towel that you shoulda brought yourself is.....alottttttt.

    • I still can’t help but think that this was all Ron and Paula/Jeanne just decided to run with it.  Maybe it’ll improve over time 
    • Anything, but this non-story.  Who cares if Stephanie publishes her Danielle Steel novel or not?  Maybe Joy will be back sooner or later with the baby. Last Chance Sale at Nordstrom rack.  I bet JJ has one too. Yeah.  For some reason I thought they shuttered the whole Publishing department after that.
    • Quote from the May 14, 2025 AP article on BTG: https://apnews.com/article/beyond-gates-renewal-d7369f7a60a0a992483294acb950ef6d Charlene Polite Corley, Nielsen’s vice president of diverse insights and partnerships, says 52% of the total audience is Black. “It’s bringing folks along for this really unique story being told in a lot of ways for the first time. And so, yes, the Black audience is leading here, but there’s a whole lot of other kinds of folks who are tuning in, too,” she said.
    • I'd appreciate it if you wouldn't put words in my mouth. I never said he shouldn't have been upset about it. He knew before the wedding and went through with it anyway. She offered to split up with him. He decided to stay. Then he treated her dirt, even after she had just lost her baby. If he couldn't deal with it, he should have left her. (Or, SHE should have thrown him out. The story made no sense.)
    • I wish the triangle with Philip was still going on with them. Maybe Days got a good deal

    • The only way I saw successful playlists for DAYS uploaded to youtube was maybe 10 years ago  .... The uploader had code names for each playlist by obscure nicknames for each character, without mentioning DAYS or the actual character names in the description.  You'd have to be an expert on the show's history to know the obscure nicknames for each character - something mentioned in the show's dialogue once years before. Importantly, commenters were asked to not mention the name of the show or the characters or the actors in their comments, or their comments would be deleted, which meant that the channel owners had to check it daily to delete such comments. AND the videos were all unlisted, so you'd know about it only from word-of-mouth, but were asked not to post about it anywhere. This was many years ago and I enjoyed watching those as they were up for several months. However some unaffiliated fools would create their own playlists on their own personal youtubes, linking to the unlisted videos and labeling their personal playlists with real show name and character names... so of course Sony caught it eventually and it was all lost.

    • I bet they update the opening credits to switch out MJ and Keith
    • I honestly felt like Gabi/Alex had a deeper conversation on their short date than Stephanie and Alex have had in their entire relationship.   Didn't Alex try to reboot Titan Publishing with Theresa, and it flopped?   So Sophia and Rachel have the same birthday?  Lol.  It was strange Tate got sick at the party and I have no clue what Sophia's about.  I really don't think she's scheming, but I do think she'll ending wanting to keep the baby. The Kevin stuff is a bit silly.  He needed Phillip to tell him to just make one dose and bring the rest back?  He doesn't have time to do that before the Dr. comes back to the lab?  Kevin's right outside lol. Nice Kayla/Marlena scenes.  I really hope they don't drag finding John out much longer. She said closing in.  Deidre was sobbing so hard I had to check the closed captioning
    • Literally the same exact jacket from the same designer, Steve in black and ShawnD in brown. I posted a bunch of May 14 and May 15 episode photos on page 2 of the May spoiler thread, including the matching jackets and the designer.
