Becker has 3 sons. Noah and Elias by his first wife Barbara Feltus and Amadeus (yup, that's his real name) by his second wife Lilly Sharlely Kerssenberg.

And then there's the daughter Anna who people derisively refer to as the cupboard child.

Thanks for letting me know about Davis Cup, I can get on the app as well.

From a few years ago but, 2nd wife is in the blue, first wife is in red and eldest son is next to her. Both are now exes, lol.

This DC format is a mess. I keep forgetting to tune in because it's on several different platforms. I read that Sock had to retire from his doubles match or something. Both he and Isner can go. Mardy hasn't been smart in his choices. In what world do you call up Sock and Isner but you leave Tiafoe off the list? Whatever happened to Tommy Paul, Taylor Fritz, Marcos Girón, Brandon Nakashima?

Bueller? Bueller? Beuller?

 

Also, I thought Serbia lost their tie today, but they still advance?

I'm too bored with this format to figure it out right now.

Fritz, Giron and Brandon are doing world team tennis in Indian Wells California. Tennis Channel is covering it.

Tommy is probably still celebrating his first tournament win in Sweden.

Escobedo then?

Can't blame the others for not doing DC. Closer to home, likely more money, while Davis Cup is not even offering ranking points anyway.

It makes it all the more questionable that Frances only get a belated call to play once the tie had already started. 

Marty chose a dude-bro team on first call and got the results he deserved.

Aww Kei.

People are already speculating that the increasing insistence on vaccination is what finally made Konta decide to retire. IMO, injuries and a vastly changed Tour due to the pandemic, likely also factored into the decision.

Good! 

I also think, despite the millions in what is essentially guaranteed money in China, their human rights atrocities and repeatedly trampling civil liberties is making it harder and harder to justify doing partnerships with them. It's likely become a headache for the WTA.

That coupled with the pandemic, forcing and ultimately showing Steve Simon to alternative tournament venues, has proven that the WTA has other options-- maybe not ones that are willing and able to pay enormous sums of money, but that atmosphere in Guadalajara...I can't remember the last time I saw a non-major have that level of crowd enthusiasm. China, while they began with a lot of enthusiasm (and relatively small crowds) has become stale even before this disappearance of Peng Shuai. I feel the same about Singapore as the site of the WTA finals-- it also got stale.

Onward, hopefully to a fall swing that has match times more suitable for a good night's sleep for me.

      We all have our picks 
    • Teach me to post cocky about all these rampant relations! As for the cut, it just made Leo Howard look more stunningly handsome. There are guys I think are hotter, but he's got the prettiest face hands down.
    • Yes Arianna and Sami are blood related through Sami and Theresa. They are also adoptive/honorary related because Arianna's third.parent is Sonny, which makes Arianna and Tate related through Justin and Isabella.
    • I saw more about Biden Old or the staged feud between Elon and Trump or just the usual distractions, but I will admit I don't stomach most of the news anyway.
    • Figured it was something like that. It's just feels weird that Will came back to see John but he's not gonna be at his funeral but

        They are blood related. Through Sami and Theresa. I didn't notice it last week, but it looked so fresh today. Like he got cut minutes before they started filming or something lol
    • Bill convinced the Governor to pardon Luna. Steffy was too busy badmouthing Hope & Brooke for most of the Spring to concern herself with such trivial matters.
    • There hasn't been a media blackout, there's been live coverage on national news all weekend.
    • There's been something of a media blackout, but beyond that the only reason it's getting any attention is because Trump and the Republicans and their sycophants in the press are trying to create riots to pave the way for martial law.  And of course all the people who care more about setting fires and destroying property than anything else are happy to help them.  I've seen more interest in people arguing about whether or not they should be waving Mexican flags and how American flags are tainted than I have in the cause, which just reinforces what a malaise we are in. Many who claim to care about immigration only care to the tips of their fingers, just like Palestine and the rest. But these policies what people voted for. As long as they personally aren't affected, they are eating all this decimation up.
    • I was happy to see Caroline again even in one short scene. This was her first appearance since April 3. I was wondering why we haven't seen her, since Hayley desperately needs a talk-to aside from Bill.  I am also wondering where Jacob's partner is. Does Marcel have an opinion on Jacob spending so much time on the Laura case? Especially since Marcel warned Jacob about allowing his family to get in the way of police business. I liked seeing some vulnerability from Leslie today when she begged Eva to give her the helmet and gloves back. I'm still wondering how she will get out of the corner she has been written into. When we were first introduced to Leslie, she seemed like she might be a Machiavelli but since then it's clear that she more of a haphazard villainess doesn't seem to have a long term plan aside from causing random chaos.  Chelsea's desperation is cringeworthy but I actually think it's fairly realistic for someone who is closeted or newly out.
