Well they were suppose to have a ceremony ina church in November, cause they had a civil ceremony, she wanted to have children,he had children from previous marriages, wasnt keen to have any more kids.I would think they would have a pre nup
I don't think Cahill was too fond of him. Besides, I would hope having kids is something they talked about before tying the knot.

Remember he didnt didnt go to their civil ceremony? agree I know he is much older than Simona, something you should discuss before tying the knot.

Simona Halep has undergone surgery for blocked sinuses. Simona has had trouble breathing of late, especially at night.Halep will need a few weeks rest, before she can start physical activity.

2022 unsporting c-word of the year vote so far goes to Dayana Yastremska and big shoutout to Dayana for being an absolutely despicable pos resulting in my bet being voided 2 points before she lost. Thanks Dayana! I mean it 100% I was well chuffed but you're still a coward to retire 2 points from defeat at 2-6 3-5 0-30. What a scumbag! :facepalm:

Hey Fronty Yastremska has a long history of 'unsportsmanlike behavior' that does not surprise me at all.

It was funny though 'cos I had €10 down on her to beat Raducanu who has dropped to 83 (!) in the rankings following her first round loss at the USO and I thought that might have affected her even though Yastremska has been injured a lot and has terrible form. I then backed €5 at evens for Raducanu to break serve with Yastremska serving at 3-5 to recoup half the lost 10 only to see "interrupted" and was thinking hmmm, rain delay, what kind of match stops at 2 points from defeat and then saw both stakes returned. I was delighted haha but that's a shoddy move by her. Awful sportsmanship. I don't know much about her so not good if she has a history of stuff like this but very thankful at least! Mine was only a tiny stake returned but many must be over the moon if they bet a lot on her to win.

I found this article. That is really terrible behavior.

That article is wrong on one thing though 'cos it was Yastremska who was serving and not Raducanu. I know 'cos I had Raducanu to break when Yastremska was serving to stay in it and she quit down 0-30. Still shocking behaviour.

I have to say, match fixing has entered my mind here, and I'm not even inclined to think of it. ITF/WTA needs to look into this woman.
Big time! Don't cut her any slack 'cos she's Ukrainian either. I had no idea she's done this so many times till Margaret mentioned it and that article you posted shows her shoddy past.

I had no idea, either. Good on Margaret that she pays such close attention. At the very least, isn't this lack of effort and poor sportsmanship? But, realistically, it stinks of something worse. Davydenko was mixed up in something like this, some years back.
