I got a glimpse of the Body Issue. Apparently some people are complaining that while the photographs of the male athletes show them engaged in their sport in action, most of the women are doing stationary poses.

Most of the buzz online seems to be about this Fielder person...a baseball player, I think.

Venus got one of the covers of the Magazine, there were 6 different covers, I think. I think this photo is much better than the first one posted, the first one had a weird angle. Roger Rasheed (Dimitrov's coach) must be going out of his mind at her cover. I remember a few years ago at OZ, he got in some hot water for uttering some very excited comments about how much he liked her derriere...while doing commentary for Australian TV!

I think I've seen that photo of Fabio, quite some time ago. Surprisingly, there are quite a bit of those types of unclothed photos of tennis players out there. I think Verdasco, Tsonga both have photos similar to the kind presented in the Body Issue.

Stefan Edberg's son Christopher wins junior tournament. Christopher is on the far right. I guess we will be seeing him in the future in the pro tour. He was given the championship trophy by his dad.

This split was in the stars for weeks now.

I think Annacone is used to working with players who probably exude more desire. He probably pushed harder than she was willing to go.

Maybe I'm reading her wrong, but Sloane comes across as someone who seems pleased to put in the same level of effort because it was yielding Quarters at Major tournaments and when she would reach the second week of a GS tournament, it had the effect of drowning out all the voices that asked why she had never won a regular tour level tournament. Now making the 2nd week of a Major tournament is no longer a given, so there is less backup against the naysayers now.

I find it ridiculous that someone with Sloane's talent has never even won a WTA Tour level tournament. There is definitely something going on there. People say Sloane is laid back-- so was Lindsey Davenport, so is Venus Williams (in a way) but I never doubted their desire to win titles and Majors.

Perhaps she should play some doubles like many successful singles players have. It seems to be yielding benefits for her boyfriend Jack Sock who seems to be posting improved results in his singles play.

But she needs to realize that the years go faster than she can imagine and she needs to step it into a higher gear.

    • yes. today Monday's episode started with words displayed "part 1" and ended with "to be continued"
    • I find Missy Reeve's views offensive and I don't want to defend her, but I don't think she ever said anything publicly about Days "gay content".   In fact, I don't think she's ever said anything negative about Days at all.  There's no indication Missy is difficult or unprofessional on set-except for the whole affair thing years ago lol-but that's a whole different topic. I can dislike Missy as a person and still think she's the perfect fit for Jen.  Cady tried and it didn't work for me.  Whenever Missy steps into the role it works.  It's a two things can be true situation.  Missy has some bad opinions, but she's great at playing Jennifer.
    • Doesn't the funeral go into Tuesday 
    • Christian Streaty wrote her second freelance script today on Days. Surprised they gave the first funeral episode to a newbie.  
    • And the third thing, which I have no cite for, and I may look to see if one is findable, but supposedly she said that the show had too much gay content in it. And, to be fair, that could be someone making a criticism about balance & not be bigotry but when it's added to the other, that's why it bugs people. Edit to add: The reason this may be impossible to source, and therefore of no use, is because it was not a public statement. She is supposed to have said it at the show, about the show, to colleague/s, one of whom repeated it in public, but that is convoluted to try to track down, so feel free to ignore. I did do some looking & I am not optimistic.

      The greatest tv series season finale in history.   
    • Mick Savage was sooo unbearable. And more unbearable was the reaction from the female characters to him - they were acting like he is God's gift to women and sooo irresistible. To a point of unbelievable cringe. 
    • Today was a short one. Only 33 minutes.  The ‘Part One’ graphic at the beginning was pretty interesting though. I didn’t expect them to do something like that.  I like how everything was focused around John and his family and friends. Again, the acting and the dialogue was very well done and well written. And I love that they were able to incorporate Drake’s, “swing for the fences” phrase into the script. It was nice seeing everyone interact with each other, especially characters who don’t often share scenes together. It felt like every character was part of a big family or community. Plus, an outdoor funeral in June makes a lot more sense than an outdoor funeral in December.  But yeah, it’s very, very strange that Will isn’t at the funeral, especially since we know that

      I would much rather he had been there today. And, where’s Anna too? And Jack and Jennifer? What was the point of bringing them all back if they weren’t going to attend the funeral? I expected Steve to want to close down BlackPatch, though I’d rather he just retire and let Paul take it over. But I like that Kayla was there to comfort him. I wonder if he’s going to change his mind at some point.  It was nice seeing Shane again too. Now, he just needs to have more scenes with his son lol but I enjoyed seeing him comfort Marlena. I’m not really sure about his interaction with Cat though? Was it really necessary for this to happen now, at John’s funeral? They could’ve waited a little longer to introduce this story arc.  Btw, was Tate bleeding from his head in his first scene with Arianna? 
    • This is the coldest early June in my life. It's like it's January.
