Ok, I am not having it!!! What is going on with these upsets. Federer is out, Sharapova is out, and now some young whipper snapper is giving Serena a hard time!!! Damn this is an amazing Open.

Oh good, Serena took the first set. Weird, twitter photos make Serena's dress look blue, but on TV it is black.

Well that sucked, I sure understand Serena's position when she said "men have done worse but because I am a woman".... Hope they do something about this for the future. Glad Serena stepped up and said make it good for Osaka.

Serena should have stopped protesting after the first warning but she wouldn't let it go and escalated the whole mess by calling the umpire a liar and a thief. That caused a second warning and then game penalty. Osaka tried to give Serena back her lost game but the 20 year old Osaka was just too good and was going to win anyway. I saw Serena's coach gesturing but it's debatable that she was looking at him as the umpire said. It's just too bad because it put a damper on Osaka's victory. I hope Del Potro wins, can't stand the other guy.

Australian Open... WOW this is amazing, this Tsitspas (sp) Federer match is incredible. It was so fun to watch and Tsitspas played an unbelievable match. His family was so cute to watch.

He was leading for the entire race. He veered out slightly coming around the final turn and partially blocked one of the other horses (who wasn't a contender anyway). The jockey said the crowd noise made him jittery. It was unfortunate. He was clearly the best horse and would have won regardless.

Guess who won the Preakness? You know that horse that was impeded by Maximum Security's drift, his name was War of Wills. The jockey had to pull up his horse so he wouldn't run into the back of Maximum as Maximum veered off his lane. War of Wills WAS a contender in the derby until Max drifted. Well, War of Wills won the Preakness. War of Wills was pulled up to avoid hitting Max, and when War of will pulled up, he bumped into Long Range Toddy. Thus impeding both horse and allowing Country Homes to come in 2nd and get first. I'm glad War of Wills had the shot at redemption as he may have won the Derby had he not been bumped around.

This is a pretty big deal for Canadians! Bianca Andreescu, a Mississauga teenager just won the Rogers Cup tennis event! She was playing Serena Williams in the final and Serena had to stop due to an injury (which is too bad) but it’s still incredible that Bianca got to the final and won! She is the first Canadian to win in 50 years! https://www.ctvnews.ca/canada/bianca-andreescu-becomes-first-canadian-to-win-the-rogers-cup-in-50-years-1.4544937

WOW... Adrian Warren just opened the finals of the US OPEN and did an excellent job singing. Plus I must have not ever seen the opening of the day before because they did a really neat presentation of a giant flag. Serena Williams, 37 years old, is playing Bianca Andreescu of Canada, who is 19!

Pretty amazing. I was happy to see that Serena didn’t make it easy for her either. It looked like she was coming back. Another thing about it that was nice is they genuinely seem to like each other.

Australian Open... starts the 20th but they are having difficulties with qualifying rounds due to the fires. Roland-Garros @rolandgarros· 1h Due to poor air quality in Melbourne, the matches won’t start before 1 pm. #AO2020
