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.

    • Just learned that Clifton Davis wrote this song!  I had no idea.

    • I think even if Marland had wanted to write more for Sara/Adam, his hands would have been tied as Robert Milli was one of the actors dumped by P&G due to his age.  From the bits and pieces I've seen of that period, Sara does have a key role in the Carrie plot, and Marland briefly gave her son Tim a more important part. I'm not sure if they just gave up on Tim once Kevin Bacon left or if they never really cared. I did not even know for many years that there was an actor in the part after Kevin...and then not one, but two. The Spauldingfield video on Tim doesn't even show the last actor (Nigel Reed), which kind of says it all. Anyway, I do get the sense Marland has some use for Sara, or for Millette. It's only after he goes that she is dumped. Of course he didn't ever hire her for his other shows, so maybe I'm wrong. (then again he never hired Geraldine Court either and he seemed very fond of her) Ann is an odd character to me as she is a proto-Lillian in being defined by pining for a Bauer brother and being involved in the death of one of their wives. I do wonder what else they could have done with her. She was friends with Diane, wasn't she? They could have had Diane manipulate her against Mike, I suppose.
    • 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.

    • What can I say?  I did my best.
    • 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?
