  1. When she first appeared on the scene about 3 or 4 years ago, she was a chubby short Mexican girl with a lot of fire, but not much firepower. She has slimmed down, muscled up and has turned into a decent player. Her short stature means that 2nd serves with a lot of kick are a big problem for her, but Madison didn’t seem to want to adjust and hit more high bouncing serves or forehands. Iga’s normal forehand (and to a lesser extent, Coco’s) would have sealed this match in un an hour. Instead, Madison won 18 games and still lost the match. What a head case! I thought that her win in Australia would allow her to play more intelligently… apparently not. 🙄
  2. I saw a photo that reminded of one of the girls above back when we were in high school and sent it to her this afternoon. I asked who the photo looked like. This was her response. I think that I may have grown up in a different world than some on Surly.
  3. Went to Stuttgart this summer to visit a German amiga from when I was taking Spanish courses in Buenos Aires 18 years ago. My friend works at Mercedes Benz and she, her husband, and I went to the museum… Old car Bus from Buenos Aires in the past. …and across the street from the museum was Stuttgart’s stadium. …so this hits close to home.
  4. Mboko🇨🇦 is OUT!
  5. Josh Pate !! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Josh_Pate
  6. Funny that you should mention a kid chasing a ball. There was a kid chasing a ball that wasn’t even to his position along the side of the net, much less down and still, when the fat fuck shouted out “First Serve”. So there was a moving ball kid involved that Bonzi was going to wait to get to his spot and get settled before he actually started his serve. BONZI WAS NOT IN HIS SERVE MOTION. So thank you for highlighting the ball kid portion for your flawed response.
  7. MEDVEDEV takes the 4th set 6-0. Bonzi has some leg issue.
  8. ¡Nein! If a ball kid chased a ball on the court and he had stopped the 2nd serve, he wouldn’t have been awarded a 1st serve. A minor pause, just keep going. If Bonzi weren’t a piece of shit, he would have just duffed a first serve into the net and the crowd wouldn’t have hated him for the rest of the match. But now the world hates him. And they are cheering his faults. MEDVEDEV TAKES THE 3RD SET TIEBREAKER!!
  9. MEDVEDEV!!! Shitty fucking Chair Umpire looking to go home makes a huge mistake in awarding a first serve to Bonzi and now it looks like the crowd is going to push this match to 4, maybe even 5 sets. FUCK THAT FAT FUCKING CHAIR UMP!! 🎾🖕🎾🖕🎾 Come on Daniiiil!
  10. Strongly disagree. That Wang is cute! 👀
  11. 57 different ethnic groups I know surgically modified noses. I remember looking at a group photo of girls from my high school class about 2 years into college and saying: ”Nose job… no… no… 2 nose jobs…Nose & Chin job… no… 3 nose jobs (one initially, one after she walked into a sliding glass door due to poor vision, and the third due to cartilage collapsing and that needing to be fixed…” For someone who is not a plastic surgeon or a model talent scout, I know what I’m talking about. Sorry if that gets under your skin. …and don’t get me started on veneers.
  12. Y. Wang has a really cute little nose that is rare-to-nonexistent for people from her country. I may be shallow, but I believe that she has undergone rhinoplasty and I wholeheartedly approve. Again, sponsors’ checks are much more consistent than tournament organizers’ checks and doing (legal) things to help your tennis career is a savvy move.
  13. Terrible take! She beat Iga this year and she had the entire stadium behind her. She should have been the betting favorite. Fine the kid! (…and retroactively fine Musetti several times over while we’re at it.)
  14. On LOUIS ARMSTRONG… Caty McNally looked really good absolutely crushing Jill Teichmann. She finally looks like the player that you would think would pair with Coco when they were a doubles team. Apparently she’s had injuries (and maybe an elbow surgery). I would get a stylist for her hair, because endorsements are more dependable than tournament winnings, especially in tennis. She’s now talking about 2018 (answering a question) like it was decades ago. She’s is now telling us “Time flies, everyone. Enjoy every moment.” (She’s only 23… a wise old 23 year-old.)
  15. Falling to the court after winning a first round match, that isn’t close to your biggest win of the year, should be a fine-able offense. Good for Eala, she’s good and cute, had the entire crowd behind her, and doesn’t have the most unfortunate chin in all of women’s tennis. But absolutely fine bitches (WTA & ATP) who fall to the court in the first round after winning the match.
  16. Are we talking about the same Jerrah who passed on drafting him 3 times before Cleveland drafted him? Jerrah sucks, but not that much.
  17. He should have … run.✅ He should have not sucked so much, but he couldn’t help himself. If the Browns keep Sanders on their 53 man roster, that is 💯% down to the guy who made the call to draft him in the first place. (The owner, I think, but maybe the GM.) There is no way that the coaching staff wants to keep Sanders on the roster.
  18. Masarova (playing Sabalenka right now) is quite fit! She looks fetching in her fuchsia (magenta?) ensemble. She was also up a break on the screamer, but it has all gotten away from her. She is hitting unforced errors all over the place, but looks lovely doing it. A post match shower with these two would be a great way to end the summer.
  19. Interesting to see the NFL careers of both brothers end on the same night. 🤔
  20. What’s this shit about extra channels? ’Splain-me how I find them. Por favor.
  21. U.S. Open starts tomorrow! I am a fan of Grand Slams starting on Sunday and running 15 days.
  22. Their top WR must be slow as fuck! I say this because Dia was throwing BEHIND his receivers on most of his throws the first 3/4s of the game.
  23. I don’t. I went and watered the lawn with a hand hose because it’s not a sprinkler system approved day and then I went for a 2 1/2 mile walk to get over 1,000 burned-from-exercise calories on the day. Now it’s late and I’m going to sleep. Nothing about my evening fell into the “silly” category.
