“This tournament needs to go to bed – it’s drunk” – Denise Carlon

Well, I think that is quite the appropriate remark… clean & concise… what a weird one… Just Denise and me? no? yes? maybe? Well, I think it holds water and it that water has since evaporated, so nothing left… Yes, I think I am feeling a bit esoteric so, get ready for what I am going to throw at you…

Allegedly Arnaldi isn’t feeling well and I am sure that doesn’t really sit great with Cobolli but, he get a win and that win takes him to the final… no “match” just moving on… and the wife beater is also though… sigh… what a day for terrorists… Now, Cobolli is great and I am hoping to see him cross that finish line because I don’t know how Zverev is going to quiet that little demon inside himself… Maybe Ru Paul can help… I did want to make a couple of comments about the idiot commentary from that entire panel of people… Mensik flew in his mental coach for the match today… I don’t see anything wrong with it… but the racist and Querrey were going on and on about how that isn’t going to help… You don’t know what he needs… Even Sloane Stephens weighed in stating that it would make her anxious… really, a mental strategist is going to make you anxious? Very disappointed… Then there was the most awesome commentary from the MacInroe twats… it used to be Czechloslovakia… then it changed to The Czech Republic… now they want to be called Czechia… why don’t they make up their minds… seriously? Then it devolved to even the players are changing their names… wait, no one changed their name… they are just requesting YOU to pronounce it properly… what a bunch of idiots… and I really need to find billions of dollars so we can have a channel that only has commentary when they explain something out of the norm… That is all… and maybe it comes across the bottom like a ticker tape for a couple of minutes and then move on to the match… Seriously, shut these F)(#$*)#(%* up! (Insert your own word)… #26 Mensik is out… four sets… and he looked a bit beat up… something wrong with his neck… sigh…

For the women… Andreeva made pretty quick work against #15 Kostyuk of the Ukraine… 15 winners to 31 unforced is pretty much the story here… next to 14 to 19 for the Russian… I mean… I could paint a picture, but I will instead use numbers, 6-1, 6-3… Kostyuk never got her feet under her… it was hard to watch… and of course the commentators have to weigh in on the political statement of NOT doing a handshake at the end of the match… Hi John Isner… have you ever been to war? Have you ever watched your entire country lose person after person… be brutally murdered by rockets and bombs, no? Then shut the absolute FUCK UP! Yes, there are two sides, but, one of them is the right side… Слава Україні! You have a different opinion… congrats! go and get your own blog… The second match was fantastic… really… it was a dismantling of #25 Shnaider (the war monger)… I mean… it was a great match for the qualifier, Chwalinska who won, 7-6(3), 6-3… She was painting the lines… making it SOOOOO difficult for her competitor to get anything back… and when she was on the defense, it was ball, after ball, after ball back to the Russian… It was kind of a Coco match… defense to offense… and she moves on to face Andreeva… should be a fun match…

Anyway… as you know… Kresimir has clinched the women’s draw… obviously because the draw is drunk… thank you again Denise… and now that the men’s semis have concluded, Len is heaving the trophy above his head two days in advance of the Men’s final (unless you are reading this tomorrow or another day or are in Australia)… Congrats to Len! nicely done… Your mediocre selections were just that much better than everyone else… FYI – one point man… ONE FUCKING POINT! but YAY YOU!!! I didn’t call out the miserable last… but, that is rude… Eric and Rob… you tie for it in the Men’s draw… and James, while you picked yourself out of last in the Men’s Draw… you hold the plunger on the Women’s Side of things… congrats!!!

Well, I am rooting for Chwalinska & Cobolli – so there… Not going to be held to a different standard… It will be interesting to see how this turns out… or is it turnt out… who knows… get off my lawn…
