Tennis Twitter can be irascible but sometimes the meme and the replies mix in a hilarious way. The comment that mentioned a one-time quote by Giorgi about how she didn't "watch woman tennis" as the reason why she's hanging out with Lepchenko, because she doesn't realize that Lepchenko is suspended (yet again) for taking a banned substance. 

Also, why does Giorgi look like she's in her 50s in this picture??!

Initially, I had absolutely no earthly care about this apparent break up between Matteo Berrettini and Ajla Tomljanovic. None whatsoever...until I saw someone's tweet that Felix Auger-Aliassime apparently unfollowed Matteo.

Here I thought they were such good friends (or so the commentators keep telling us any time they play each other). I know that Felix's girlfriend is Ajla's what... cousin or something? But what could Matteo have done that would make Felix, his supposedly good friend, and seemingly such a mild mannered friend at that, unfollow him on social media? And who are the people who actually monitor the unfollows of others??

Apparently, he's following again, or never stopped? 

Boy, I can't believe I'm following this adolescent drama!

I remember Cahill once briefly split with Haley. I don't know what sorcery she pulled to get him back but they worked together for awhile after that initial split. I do think Cahill probably wanted to stop traveling for quite some time and is likely burned out but it probably would have been better for Amanda had he not made an agreement at all.

I can't remember the last time I've wanted a player to retire from the sport so badly!  Naomi was good for the WTA but not anymore.  Her antics are old and exhausting.  She ruined the match for me.  Is this the WTA or WTA: Let's Make Sure Nothing Upsets Naomi?  It's not fair to other players, paying spectators or viewers.  Tennis is not for Naomi!  You suck is nowhere equivalent to what TWS went thru.  Don't even try it!

Two great matches in Nadal vs Korda and Tsitsipas vs Sock. Finally some entertainment.

Then Naomi..... Yikes....she wanted to talk to the fans during the match...of course the umpire told her no...at the end she was allowed to address the crowd...TC panicked and muted the winners mic....

Naomi thanks the crowd and continues crying and says what the heckler said kept going through her mind during the whole match.

As a tennis fan, I can take or leave Osaka but if tennis wants to not have this happen (at Indian Wells of all places) maybe give these players some strategies for dealing with heckling, especially on the WTA side.

I do think that at this point, Osaka just doesn't enjoy tennis anymore but it's up to her to figure it out at this point. You all know that I am firmly opposed to people telling players what to do with their careers. Players cry all the time and suddenly folks have objections to it? C'mon, man.

      BTG: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      Yassss....come on Maurice and Brandon...give us nothing!!! Wow, their need to develop their craft shone like a blinding light this episode. Brandon in his Martin and Smitty scenes sounded like he was reading and the facial expressions were giving Disney Channel. He did much better against Maurice in the Martin v Ted scenes. Now, Teddd-dyy (Dana's voice) was just flat. I watched the episode just now after reading the comment on here that Maurice needs to stop swaying, and now I can't unsee it. Has it really been this bad all along?  Ambyr carries. I don't need to say anymore. I am kind of excited to see this Kat/Tomas/Eva stuff play out.  Bill is such a dick to Dani. Like that's the mother of your children that you cheated on with your daughter's best friend but you look to take those low blows. Lord! When he said that thing about it being obvious he didn't care about Dani anymore since he was the one that walked out...that was cold. I even felt for Dani. Bill definitely is all over the spectrum. You can see a villain possibly surfacing, but you also see this great father. The elder Duprees move a little funny. I'm wondering what that is all about. Are they just overly protective matriarch and patriarch because they think it's what's best for their family, or are they afraid their secrets will come out or there's something more sinister there. Why would Vernon want to keep that information from Martin?  I hope something interesting comes out of this June stuff, but as of right now, I'm not too invested. It's not helping my interest on Naomi or Jacob either. However, tge actress playing Naomi has comes a long way from day one.

      None of the males are taking their shirts off every week, so we know they have some degree of acting skill.

      Thank you for sharing. I guess Nancy was catatonic most of her time on the show, so I guess the gasps make sense, lol. I had heard Cathy and Dick DeCoit were supposed to be on the show longer, but Trish Stewart leaving changed all that.

      @Rmodelboy Thanks for posting that On-set pic of June. She looks great, you just might be right about her being Hayley sibling.

      Claybon said Samantha and Tyrell were initially 6 and 7, but aged up for technical reasons, first aged up to 10 or 11, and then finally to 16 and 17. Is that the first time soap children have been SORASed twice before ever airing?

      Is this someone you should be dealing with? I got the drama on lock. Leave it to me. You are my sister. You have loved & protected me every moment I've been in this world. It's my turn to stand up for you.
