Oof, gurl. And this response:

 

So who’s “Simo” gonna blame…Patrick?

Is anyone surprised by this?

Absolutely brutal end to what was once a good, bordering on great, magazine. Once owned and operated by the New York Times, Sinclair & Tennis Channel bought it a few years ago for its url, starved it and finally killed it. https://t.co/82ii6VZvKt

I was being facetious when I posed this question but apparently Pam Shriver decided to run with this theory. 
I would have had a bit more respect for her on this had she just blamed the tortellini.

Halep is a pendeja!!

Denis is lucky he’s rich and somewhat handsome:

I have never been a fan by any stretch of the imagination but when accused, it seems to be a standard line of defense to deny. Sharapova’s case was an interesting case, though, because initially, she did admit culpability, before reversing her stance.

Speaking of Sharapova, her fans appear to be very salty at what they view as kid glove treatment of Halep in comparison to what they regard as brutal treatment of their fave.

I just read Darren defending her. He is saying it's untrue that she would never dope.

I know that some corners of Tennis Twitter used to guffaw and make insinuations about the nature of Cahill and Halep’s relationship but clearly, they do have a bond, which tends not to be the norm in the WTA, at least it doesn’t tend to be where non-familial coaching relationships are concerned.

Oh wow.  I learned something new today. I didn't know what a pendeja is.  I wondered how to classify Marjorie and Lauren.

I find it fascinating that after all these years, Albert Ramos-Viñolas is still such a solid player and not just on clay. He’s a bit under the radar as he’s never a real threat for big titles, but he’s kept his ranking up well into his mid-30s.

You're obviously not a latino.😂  

The wild cards given in Paris indoors is just ridiculous!

 

Hehe. Gotta say, Dimitrov vs. Giron is a lot of pretty for one court:
