Did anyone see the Sabalenko vs Tsurenko match? What the heck happened there?!

Seems like there is a recent trend of tennis players going to prison, narrowly avoiding prison, or under threat of possible prison time. Sanchez Vicario was known for being so clever on court, apparently not so much IRL.

I was watching Sinner on plus. Now watching Tsity and Van Assche.

Add Sasha to the list who could get five years for beating his girlfriend. Although they've said he probably get probation for it.

Both of his previous girlfriends have accused him of the same crime.

Oh, he was definitely the one I was referring to as possible jail time but you’re likely correct to say that it will probably be some kind of probation or suspended sentence or some combination of the two. I didn’t see any of the post match interviews but I read that a reporter asked him about the case/allegations and he looked bewildered and caught off guard by the questions. Surely, he had to expect that someone sometime would ask him about this.

Admittedly, I saw next to none of the women’s final (I had a feeling that Zheng’s nerves as a first time finalist would be no match for Sabalenka’s power and high level of confidence and focus. I had hoped the final might be competitive but had an underlying doubt that it would actually be.
I saw more of the men’s final and that was a lot more competitive. I missed the first two and a half sets, so I clicked on in time to catch Medvedev, right on schedule, get snagged by his 2 sets lead problem. Still, Sinner did earn that title with some hard fought wins, most of which, admittedly, I didn’t see.

Just imagine how he will feel once the court trial comes to the fore. After he got knocked out of the tournament, ESPN finally felt obliged to make a statement detailing the charges.

It took decades but I think ESPN has ultimately ruined tennis for me. I am seriously considering purchasing a VPN so I can watch RG and Wimbledon on their native broadcast networks.

Sasha pretty much said that people who believed his ex were stupid.

He's a scumbag.

Glad Sinner won. He was down two sets when I turned the tv off but DVR the rest. First time in a long time that a player I like won a major.

VPN?

Doesn’t he mean ex-girlfriends? Lest he forget that he’s had more than one woman make an allegation of abuse.

VPN is Virtual Private Network. I use a free one which is good for when I make financial transactions online but it’s limited to the U.S. I need a VPN that will allow me access to Europe.

Here is an explanation of VPNs.

      This show treats Claire like a glorified extra prop not the granddaughter of the 2 biggest supercouples this show has ever had. I don't think was ever invested in Claire nor writing for her & her connections to majority of the town. What a waste of a legacy character with so much potential

      Kim Zimmer could have had a nice career as a supporting actress in Hollywood, but that does not appear to be what she wanted. That's fine, but in the eighties, she was not going to have many options as a leading actress. The eighties were brutal for a performer like her.  Her one big film role lasted a minute or two. Even while she was on GL, she should have been doing episodic television. Was her agent that incompetent or was she just bad at auditioning? Her episode of "Designing Women" was quite popular and was discussed at the time for its subject matter, but she never followed up on it. It's bizarre to me.

      Billy just showed up for Vanessa's memorial (Sept 9, '96), which is so nice!  My first time seeing him like this outside of random clips from the past. He's out of jail for 24 hours, so not long. It's good to see him with the family.

      Definitely was more recent than not; when the set originally returned, the change hadn't happened.

      It was nice seeing Victorias house and I see it’s been remodelled. I’m sure this happened awhile ago but since I tuned out from the show for so long I am only noticing it now. Looks beautiful though!  Also, Billy and Sally gross me out so much. I don’t know what it is I hate so much about them. They give me the ick. Definitely a mismatch. I don’t buy that these people would be attracted to eachother in real life much less have a relationship..

      Also, isn’t there supposed to be a storyline with Mariah and Tessa? Mariah cheating or something (keeping some kind of secret) and they were only on screen 2 and 3 times this month. Like what? How am I supposed to care when I barely see them?

      Definitely wouldn't trust Dinah right now haha.  But that's great to know Billy comes back soon!  I'm excited for that. If he's at the boardinghouse, then I guess he does get closer to Nola perhaps, and then he'll be around Peter/Bridget and J, who is currently in his orbit along with Michelle and Dahlia, and Marcus is at the boardinghouse, so maybe they go the teenage story route most of this time until Billy gets back.

      Sounds like me, but I prefer to be referred to as Contessa. We all know I can go a long time not paying attention to certain things.  And, if I might add, hey there dude, you effed up pretty good this time and I think this was your last chance. So don't let the door hit you in your behind as you go BYE MOMMY!

      That did cross my mind at first, but I'd be more inclined to believe it if this didn't involve Trump. I'm not at all sure he is capable of being that sneaky. Of course, there's always a possibility I guess that his advisors are doing it without telling him, but that seems awfully risky. Trump is such a loose cannon you can never predict what he's going to do or say.
