    • That link is too long!

      I had no idea it would come out like that. Listen to Bridge Over Troubled Water sung
      by Art Garfunkle.

        • I was jus t going to say to mira that I was getting quite worried about Elizabeth. It’s very unlike her not to be on the site during a slam.
          Can only echo Margot ‘s words…

          • I’m Back!

            My only siblings are a decade older than me and live in Spokane, WA. My sister called the Saturday Wimbledon was on, and I needed to drop everything and get a flight to Spokane because my brother was very sick and had a pulmonary embolism. It was serious this time, and I’m glad I went up. He is going to be okay, though he has so many health issues that I need to be able to go when I get the call. I have never been very close to my brother or sister, but at this point, that doesn’t matter; I want to be there for them. I don’t like Spokane, and we have vastly different political ideas.

            Anyway, I loved the results of the ATP Wimbledon!
            Carlos is loveable and fantastic.

            What happened to Ons Jabeur was sad. But from out of the blue comes Martincova! Happy for her, but so sorry to see Ons be a runner-up in the final again.
            I got home last night, but the first thing I did was check the TDC, lol. I feel terrible missing these weeks, but I won’t miss this weekend’s draws; they will be good!
            And the weekend of August 7 is Canada already πŸ˜€

  1. When it comes to overgrip recommendations, several options cater to different preferences. For players with sweaty hands, choosing moisture-absorbing overgrips made of microfiber or perforated synthetic materials is ideal. Some popular brands like Wilson Pro Overgrip, Tourna Grip, and Yonex Super Grap are known for their excellent moisture-wicking properties and tacky feel. For those seeking a softer touch, overgrips like Babolat VS Original and HEAD XtremeSoft offer a comfortable and cushioned grip. Ultimately, it’s essential to try different brands and materials to find the overgrip that suits your playing style and grip preference.

  2. Good to see you back and OK, Elizabeth, and good your bro is well, at the moment at least.
    Have never heard of Spokcane! No reason I should’ve of course!

  3. Haaa!!…there u r RC!..M,amy & Alison very worried bout u!..somehow i knew u will come here when u’re able to do so!..tennis always unite us all!

    Sorry to hear bout yor brother RC!..and glad he is ok now..

  4. Not necessarily directed at anyone in here, just thought id share this as I hadnt heard of this before.

    Histrionic personality disorder (HPD) is a mental health condition marked by unstable emotions, a distorted self-image and an overwhelming desire to be noticed. People with HPD often behave dramatically or inappropriately to get attention.

    • Damn yeah, Ive heard about this – apparently a lot of people suffer from it without realizing it and is lethal when combined with a twitter account.

      • Yep, When someone ignores his own family and cant stop harassing other people and the public, you know its time to see a psychiatrist.

        • These people are so disillusioned that they will act according to their social media profile photo as well. If their photo portrays a look of ‘I’m one step ahead of everyone,’ they will end up behaving that way unknowingly, becoming a constant public annoyance.

  5. Nasty people if you look closely at their mindset. They even steal all your ideas and claim it as their own. If you want to see the absolute worst in humanity, look no further.

    • Yep, trying extremely hard to be a leader and doing good for humanity doesn’t hide what you really are.

      It might convince the impressionable masses, but I’m pretty sure most reasonably intelligent people can see through the BS.

      • When you constantly undermine people that are older than you and imply that they have to learn more, its extremely arrogant an disrespectful. Yep, someone people got too much praise from their father and were never taught to respect their elders unless there was repercussions.

        You can tell a lot about someone that behaves this way.

  6. β€œone of the bravest women I know”

    …and how many brave women do you really know?!

    …and how do you judge her bravery, by reading her posts without really knowing how messed up she might be, nor who she really is and what are her deeds?!

    Silly woman!

    • Alison,
      I’m cheering for the girls from Ukraine. Marta Kostyuk won a tough match against Andreescu earlier today, and now maybe Elina Svitolina Monfils can win this match vs. Azarenka. Come on, Elina!
      I imagine you are sleeping now. Sleep well, and see you later!

    • Too many to lock up Amy, not enough prisons πŸ™ Did you read threat of prison is improving Trump’s chances? Incredible.
      And Sunak looking worse than Johnson on enviromental issues πŸ™

        • Trying again! It won’t affect his die-hard base in the GOP Margot. In fact they will cling ever closer. But it surely will affect independent voters who are the key to an election.
          Think Jack Smith is a man of integrity and very smart.
          As for Sunak. If you get denounced by a billionaire investor with background in mining!!for being part of a government of morons politicizing climate change what can one say?! Too true.

  7. Hi Elizabeth enjoy your tennis, whatever shit that’s going on in the world, rest assured we will always have that πŸ€—

    • Yes, Alison,

      The humans are going to hell in a handbasket! As my dear father would say. Canada is on fire; the forests in all the western states have fires. It is hotter than Hades here. But many places in the East are having severe storms.

      We will not be a democracy if that grifter Trump gets elected president somehow. He shouldn’t be allowed as a candidate! It’s ridiculous.

      I haven’t watched much tennis this week, but I did see Andy Murray beat Nakashima today. Andy is not quite where he was yet, but he is playing better and better. I’d say he was not quite as fast around the court, but he found a way to take control and beat Brandon in 2 sets. Gael Monfils won his match, and I see Elina had no trouble with Kasatkina.

  8. I hope Dan Evans can keep playing like he is through US Open! He has been on hot streaks before, but they don’t last. He needs time to recuperate after a hot streak, is what I have learned about him: an amazing athlete, Dan Evans.

    Tallon Griekspoor hammered the carthorse today, amy! 😊

    • Always a pleasure to see the Cart Horse lose!!πŸ˜€
      Not that I did see it..
      Shall we go back to talking tennis on the WTA thread rather than here? Ricky can’t be too overjoyed…

      • The great Talons picked the horse and cart up and dropped them in a field.

        It made a dull final in Wa, DC, into a possibly an exciting one. πŸ˜€

  9. The Devil is a master at character assassination and persuasion/temptation. All you can do is hope that others aren’t that naive to fall for it.

  10. The Devil wants absolute control and attention, and wants to take everything that is good in life away from you. He hates it because he’s got none of it and will never experience it.

  11. Be careful you’re not naive and “sympathizer” to what is ultimately evil, no matter how well they try to dress it up.

  12. Just read his relentless tweets and ask yourself, “Is that the kind of world we want to live in?” The only reason he can get away with that is because you can’t prove he’s directing the harassment at you. If you could prove it, you would be able to sue him, and the police would be knocking on his door.

  13. I’ve already spoken to the Australian Government and Federal Police and at this stage there’s nothing they can do about it, even though they are keeping a watchful eye on things
