mandoist17-05-2026 - What a crock-o-shit this media attack is! There are plenty of such incidents to choose from in tennis. Players often walk past as they are concentrating on what's coming. Some realize it and turn back to connect with the kid; some just simply are focused elsewhere and should not be anti-Social Media Slammed for it. Wasting space online when there are more important subjects to cover.mandoist17-05-2026

- Poor sap. She dumped him with a Capital "D" !! Oh well... as long he "doesn't tell me what to do" he may survive most of this season.mandoist15-05-2026
- Anytime your opponent blows their opportunities can be called "luck". Have to admit though, Gauff can run like hell. Ditto for Svitolina. Of course there's always that old addage: "Have to be Good to be Lucky".mandoist15-05-2026

- Unreal. The amount of luck Coco Gauff had in that last game was simply insane. Most players need 14 matches to get that lucky.

- "Injury" seemed to have very little to do with her loss. She almost said it out loud in her presser! Anyone paying close attention could see minor 'cracks' appearing in her game since last season. It's been proven that getting side-tracked by media junkets, filming TV commercials, soaking-up the perks, and incessant 'Social' network posting leads to major distractions from the tournament grind.mandoist10-05-2026
- Blaming citizens (innocent citizens) for what their bad leaders do is not really fair. Americans are learning that lesson every day!mandoist10-05-2026
