It’s actually a thing. The photos crack me up.

What are you upset about? Their handling of the tour? There is not much they can do. I wish we had more tuneups for these majors (if they happen) because it's setting up to be a disaster. But, with the way the COVID madness is, they have to go with these protocols. I would probably just cancel the year and regroup for Australia.

I think we're getting more UTS today. It looks like the schedule is:
Junkballers Moutet and Brown.
Grigor and Feliciano.
Popyrin and Gasquet.
Verdasco and Benny P.

Moutet - The Tornado
Brown - The Artist
Dimitrov - Grigor (lol)
Lopez - The Torero
Popyrin - The Sniper
Gasquet - The Virtuoso
Verdasco - En Fuego
Paire - The Rebel

And some cringe... LINK

You know they want to call Grigor playboy or something like that.

I’m currently watching CoCo Gaulf + Venus Williams vs CoCo Vandeweghe + N. Melchar.

I’d have to say the Gaulf + Williams doubles team has the better advantage.?

Halep pulls out of Palermo.

I think I’m actually losing hope for 2020 now too. Between the travel restrictions, quarantine rules, and whatever protocols each tourney will have in place, I can’t see it being worth the trouble.

But at the same time, that would just be delaying the inevitable. Viruses can’t be eradicated.

Yea Crack that’s pretty much gonna ruin the rest of the WTA year. Just start anew in 2021 Melbourne would be my best guess. I respect that little running Ramonian baseline banger Halep with all my heart. Halep absolutely stole that 2018 Wimbledon Championship from our Queen Serena. Nobody was beating Simona Halep on grass court tennis that day not even prime Martina. Halep just wasn’t having it, she was determined to hold up that Wimbledon plate.

I still feel disaster coming, but that makes me tingle a little bit.

More UTS today. Zvervev and Moutet now. Gasquet and Felix after that. I assume the winners will play a final.

I see Nick pulled out of the U.S. Open. I'm not sure that's newsworthy anymore. He gave a statement that was sort of annoying as he is playing moral authority, but was relatively well done. I enjoyed this:
quote:

“You can’t be dancing on tables, money-grabbing your way around Europe or trying to make a quick buck hosting an exhibition.


He really seems to hate Coric and posted that his intellectual level = 0.

He's supposed to be a rebel but he's staying home with his mask and doing as he's told like a bitch.

NY wins WTT title on this shot.

Funny that stupid rule came into play. NY was down 20-18 after regulation time and then won 2 games and a tiebreaker.

Cool. Thank you to Serena's coach for running this exhibition, without which we wouldn't have had much these past few months. But, this British chick on the call is super annoying.

Yeah, I love the kid and want to see some deep major runs (I did not realize he is still ranked 20).

Alex didn't even know he won the match with this goofy scoring.
