May 12, 20241 yr 12 hours ago, shadow_operative2.0 said: It is, there’s been people chasing him for $ owed for as long as Camila’s name has been known. And her mom makes her kits. Her parents are Argentine (at least her dad is) and not Catholic, so they definitely don’t tithe… or pay taxes. IN OTHER NEWS: Danimal is on a mission and up a set & a break against C. Garcia right now. Danielle is absolutely crushing the ball and doesn’t give a shit if this is a clay court or not.
May 13, 20241 yr Sorana got steamrolled by Madison Keys. Boo. This match with Medjedovic and Medvedev is already exciting.
May 15, 20241 yr Author Jelena v. Aryna this morning, Vika v. Dani later. Iga v. Coco already in the semis.

Iga would rather face Keys & Gauff over any of the 4 of Jelena, Aryna, Avila, or Dani. Keys is a hard hitter, but is as fragile as a Fabergé egg. We saw that when they played. And Gauff’s forehand is as reliable as a 1970s era FIAT. All 4 ladies on the other side of the bracket can hit Iga off the court. I would expect to see Iga in the final vs Collins or Aryna.
May 15, 20241 yr Collins is 0-6 against Aryna and Coco is like 1-10 against Iga. Semifinals have potential to be duds

May 16, 20241 yr Routine straight sets win for Iga as expected. Hopefully Collins v Sabalenka is more interesting
May 18, 20241 yr Author Iga drilled Aryna to win Rome. She’s rather hot right now. Sofia lost in qualies of a freaking 500.
May 23, 20241 yr Author Hey, she won a 3-setter. Quote Bronzetti led Stearns 5-0 in the final set before Stearns came back to win 7 games in a row to take the match 6-4, 4-6, 7-5.
May 24, 20241 yr Author Peyton is playing really poorly on TC now, they’re gonna switch to Novak soon. Her shot selection is still stuck in college play sometimes.
May 24, 20241 yr Peyton does it again. She was down 4-1 this time in the 3rd and came back to win. Her first WTA final tomorrow
May 24, 20241 yr Author I would bet decent $ she doesn’t make it to the final. Withdrawal seems likely. https://www.flashscore.com/match/tr0tLqcS/#/match-summary/match-summary

Withdrawal seems likely. https://www.flashscore.com/match/tr0tLqcS/#/match-summary/match-summary I know some players withdraw from 250s the week before a slam to prepare, but unless she is injured I don’t see Stearns withdrawing from her first WTA final. If she had a career title or two under her belt I could see her withdrawing, but not now.
May 25, 20241 yr Author ^ Her second final, lost a clay 250 to Tatjana Maria in Bogota last April. https://www.wtatennis.com/tournament/894/bogota/2023/scores Peyton v. Sherif at 6 am, Dani v. Keys two hours later for the Strasbourg title.
May 25, 20241 yr Author Both final were thrashings. 2 & 1, for Peyton, 1 & 2 for Keys. Not sure what happened to Dani.
May 25, 20241 yr 4 hours ago, BevoAbyss said: Peyton Stearns won her first WTA title (a 250, I think) — the "Grand Prix Son Altesse Royale La Princesse Lalla Meryem." After a rough start to the 2024 season, Peyton has won 9 of her last 10 matches. The title was on clay court, so she should be rolling into Roland Garros. Not saying she’s gonna win it, but a Round of 16 is possible. Maybe even a Quaterfinal if she has some luck with the draw. Hook’em Peyton! Here's Peyton's RG section. She plays a qualifier in the first round and then things get tough. Would potentially meet Sakkari for a spot in the quarterfinals if she makes it that far

Not sure what happened to Dani. 1) Congratulations Peyton!! 🍾🥳🎉 She’ll arrive in PARIS saying “I’ll always have MOROCCO 🇲🇦.” Kind of “Casablanca” in reverse. 2) Peyton is so far and away the most butch player on the WTA tour. Maria Sakkari has a poster of Peyton on her wall with a post-it in hat says “#ButchGoals” on it. And Peyton has a completely lack of elegant movement that she has a poster of Sakkari with a post-it that says #GraceGoals at the bottom… and that is something that absolutely no one thought that we would ever see. Peyton has more burly butch energy and Robocop-inspired fluidity than about 90% of the guys on the ATP tour. 3) I love that a tan, blonde girl from Ohio, who went to college in Texas, picked up her first WTA trophy by beating an African girl on a clay court in Africa. WTF? 😬 Who saw that coming? 4) I expected Danielle Collins to completely trounce Madison Keys. Keys has such a history of collapsing and Collins has been so good this year that I expected a straight sets win with several breaks of serve, just in reverse.

May 26, 20241 yr Osaka looks about 25 to 30 lbs lighter than she was when she was dodging the press 2 to 3 years ago and then stopped playing for a while. She was a fat load for a while before she took time off to smoke weed and then get knocked up. Osaka is looking pretty damned good with her shots against Italy’s #1 Butter Face, Juggs Bronzetti. Osaka’s face looks about 5 years younger than it did when she stepped away. Bronzetti’s game is mid, but that doesn’t keep her from a loud moan/grunt every time she hits the ball. Osaka is quiet and may only lose 2 total matches this morning.
June 12, 20241 yr I’m watching Koepfer 🇩🇪 🌊 play Musetti 🇮🇹 in Stuttgart. The Boss Open Pulling for the Kraut because he went to Tulane and the W.O.P. has bugged me since he would lie down on the ground after each match win in Acapulco in 2021 and his defeated opponent would have to stand at the net and wait for his act to run its course. Plus… Musetti had a massive chin mole thing that he should have dealt with at a young age and I’ve never been a fan of hairy moles. Moles that practically had their own pelt Anyway, after some back-and-forth in the 3rd set, Musetti is now serving for the match at 5-3 15-15.
June 15, 20241 yr Author Fran Jones, a 23-year old Brit, fucking quit like the bitch she is before even playing Emma. I like Emma, glad she advanced, but I mother fucking hate quitters.
June 15, 20241 yr Author Galfi is typically hot, but she’s taped up like a mummy. 3-all with Bianca now.
June 16, 20241 yr Author Katie up 5-2 in the Nottingham final against Pliskova. Bianca lost in the Netherlands.
