Tennis, tennis, tennis........😀 ok, i've got my favorites......

All the Americans......a couple of Japanese players, a couple of Canadians, one or two Brits, one Australian, totally despise the guy from Australia named Kyrgios. Anyone else agree with me??

let people like Kyrgios get away with all that? A few years ago they were talking about him like he was just awful (he was worse than awful) and needed to grow up and then it got worse and they said some pretty harsh things about him, especially not only his big mouth but the odd janky way he plays. Now it is as if he never did anything wrong and his play is amusing and amazing. I think his behavior is still bad but less loud maybe, such a poor sport, still nothing that has ever been acceptable. I do not understand how this happens, if he becomes a major champ, #1 someday, they will slobber all over him.

I like a whole lot of players right now. I have not had a solid year of following for several years now so I cannot even solidify favorites except that I will follow Fed right down to the last ball he ever hits (if I can live that long).

Canada, I swear she looks a lot like the Orange piece of shit’s daughter. 😳 😳 😳 Eugenie Bouchard....anyone else thinks she looks like #1 daughter?? I must be nuts. Love Roger as well. ❤️

I liked her a lot when she was playing well but then she did sort of disappear. Like I said, I have not been able to follow like I used to. She does commentary? I never saw her close up really but that would creep me out a lot. Ewwwwww.

5. Bouchard is recovering from an injury. She is doing the commentary for the time being.

I think TTC should back off on her makeup! It's really overdone and totally unnecessary. She would resemble Ivanka less with less makeup.

Personally, I think every woman in the world should wash their face and stop with the crazy robot faces! My god, they all look alike with the botox and the created eyebrows etc. I can hardly understand a person wanting or allowing their job (hello female journalists, ewwwww) to force that kind of stuff that they will have to live with forever. OK rant over, it is popular but it makes me cringe and laugh knowing exactly what that will look like in 30 more years. Seriously, eyelashes so thick you cannot see through them and they reach all the way to the fake eyebrows?

Back to tennis, I hope she is OK soon. IIRC she did really well then not so well. Was that pressure do you think? I just remember hoping she would do well at all the slams but she was inconsistent. She still has time.

Agree, she’s wearing WAY to much makeup.
