I was iffy about playing Cincinnati before the wrist injury, so no she should withdraw from Cincinnati.

At the slightest hint of injury (as Skating says), drop the intensity.
But she is 18, and it is not as if she has had a brutal schedule for the year. It can make a difference if you are seeded inside the top 16.

I may be suffering from Andreescu PTSD - remember when she played Miami after winning Indian Wells with her shoulder being held on with duct tape - so I'm glad she withdrew. Also, I'm now assuming that this is her career peak, and she'll spend the next decade trying to get this form back while struggling with a variety of injuries.

Maluma went into dad mode at a concert in Mexico City over the weekend.

The Colombian sensation took a moment during a show to scold a parent who brought a young child to a loud concert, as seen in social media video. The singer-songwriter clarified the age of the child, who is one year old, before giving the parent a talking to.

"Do you think it's a good idea to bring a 1-year-old baby to a concert where the decibels are through the ... roof, where the sound is blasting?" he said in Spanish. "Next time, protect their ears."


He continued: "You're swinging him around like he's a toy. That child doesn't want to be here."

Ponchi at fourteen they don't want to go anywhere with you because you're too old to get them. After all you were never fourteen.

My mom says I was born age 30.
A really boring kid.
