I didn't see much of Indian Wells, and neither final.  But reading about Nadal - honestly it sounds like a pulled rib muscle.  I had it once.  It sounds like exactly the same thing.  There's nothing you do for it but wait it out and don't tweak it.  When he says breathing problem, that's exactly what it's like.  Mine (believe it or not), I had been working out and afterwards had trouble breathing in.  It made me laugh, so...I laughed.  "this is ridiculous".  "what is going on....hahahahahahaha."  Then I couldn't breathe in after the air had gone completely out of my lungs.  Then it wasn't funny, and I thought...my God I'm gonna die from not breathing???! (hahahahaha), and it did it again.  Finally got my breath, and thought...not working out again.  Going to the Doctor.  At the Doctor, he said - pulled rib muscle.  But it doesn't sound like you did anything working out, maybe only aggravated it.  It was likely already there.  So get this - he says, has there been anything recently that you did...any kind of straining or quick motion that you would have pulled it?  Nope, couldn't think of anything.  THEN BAM.  It hit me.  I said...wait...you know what?  I was laying by the pool on my stomach on a lounge chair several days ago, with my feet hanging down on the concrete.  A wasp (you know how they come and drink or get wet wings and can't fly)...crawled onto my foot and stung me while I was laying there.  I flipped over FAST and mashed it off of me.  The Doctor said - and that was it.  That's exactly when you pulled your rib muscle...that's exactly the kind of motion I'm talking about.  So....it was just a waiting game of several weeks before it went away.  I'd bet 100% that's what it is with Rafa.

Apparently, Rafa's rib stress fracture means he will likely be out of competition for 4-6 weeks. 

Conspiracy theory nutjobs are using this as promote antivaxx propaganda to claim that because Rafa stated problems with breathing (I have had a bruised rib from yoga years ago and yes, it hurts to breathe, or do any movement of the torso on that affected side/area) that it must be because he was vaccinated.

Just saw it on tv. I won't miss her but surprised she's retiring although she did it before.

Not everyone wants records...some like her winning a major or two and a one thousand tournaments is enough.

Everyone's journey is different. I'll admit that when I first saw the announcement on SM, my first thought was that this might be another cricket break, but it does seem like her heart isn't in it, she'd rather stay in Australia, not have to travel and at this point, she doesn't need the money.

I tuned in to the Miami tournament to hear Courier gush over Kyrgios.  I’m tired of hearing about how great he is and awesome for livin his best life.  And I’m reminded when I hear his constant mumbling how much I dislike him. Blah

Yup!  The ATP website will feature the tournament. So hopefully I'll get to see their matches. They have been missed.

 

Can't believe the Miami tournament has been more entertaining than IW. 

From all the news and players pulling out cause of injury to Brooksby misbehavior and almost getting defaulted.

    • "And OMG, watching the scenes of Roger's return in comparison...the quality in the writing really nosedived. The stupid mask." Very much agreed.  Having Roger hide behind a mask for weeks/months, with it culminating with him swinging in on a vine at Blake/Phillip's wedding....geez.  So juvenile. IMO, Guiding Light never did a good job reintroducing major characters, either from the dead or elsewhere.  Masked balls = awful.  Amish = awful. When Reva was brought back from the dead, she should've just showed up in Springfield as Reva, and informed everyone that she had been gone for years because she felt like it.  She had a four-year fling with some dude who ended up dumping her due to disloyalty. Josh would be pissed and declare that their love is not *always* but *sometimes* and he'd act accordingly.  Her kids would hate her.   
    • Agreed. The Emmys next year are gonna be a pretty tough competition and I hope we get a Days sweep lol  Not only does Deidre deserve a nomination for these last few weeks, but I also think Paul Telfer, Raven Bowens, Carson Boatman, Dan Feuerriegel and Alison Sweeney have good chances as well.
    • It’s not about a lack of faith and trust in MVJ, it’s about a a lack of faith and trust in Ron Carlivati, who I think can be very sneaky and manipulative when he wants to be.  And, all that “He’s just a breakdown writer” talk never changed my mind about anything, because at Days, it was “just a breakdown writer” that gave us some of the worst episodes I’ve ever seen.

    • I think they’re desperately trying to cover his awful tattoos. But anyway them being unable to style short kings properly has been a major pet peeve of mine for a while now.  I honestly don’t understand what some people expect from actors to even begin considering them for recognition. Let’s be real—awards mostly mean that an actor is respected by their peers and has some level of cultural relevance. Actual judgment on the acting itself? That’s often secondary—highly subjective and shaped by the times. I completely agree on both points. If you’re an actor or a dancer you shouldn’t get any tattoos (sorry not sorry). Tomas’ tattoos are ugly too. And regarding the couples- you’re completely right. These writers are unable to write romance.   Further comments: - Kat cannot be this dumb to keep tampering with evidence over and over again. And I’m officially not a fan of the actress—every time she’s in a scene with Leslie, she doesn’t seem intimidated at all. She plays it like comic relief, which is just too much, especially when paired with Leslie’s histrionics and over-the-top antics. Leslie is older, dangerous, and has literally been portrayed as homicidal—Kat should be at least a little scared. • I also didn’t like Kat playing damsel in distress with the hotel manager. It gave off the same weird energy as Dani with the cop. I would’ve much preferred the version Paul Raven suggested, with her sneaking in through housekeeping. • And yes, Dani again accused Hayley of faking the pregnancy—this time even specifying she might be using a pillow under her shirt. (No fake miscarriage being mentioned) I stand by my take: this is ridiculous writing. No one in the real world—except us, the chronically online soap watchers—would even think of such a conspiracy theory. Haley is no Beyoncé. • What in the world was Chelsea wearing in her hair the other day? And this whole thing with Madison is beyond cringe. Chelsea’s coming off as needy and toxic—basically like every other Dupree. • I’m glad the casino storyline is moving forward, but it’s still boring as hell. Honestly, I’d be so here for a plot twist where Vanessa and Doug take Joey out. • The direction and editing lately have been rough. Abrupt cuts, weird pacing… something just feels off overall. There’s a strange uneasiness to how it’s all coming together. • And finally: Tomas is too much of a saint. Where are the messy sluts when you need them? (Vanessa doesn’t count.)
