Weekend Tennis Roundup
Juan Martin del Potro, who is finally back in the Top 20, defeated Grigor Dimitrov 6-4, 6-2 to win Stockholm for the second year in a row.
It was still a good week for Dimitrov, whose win over Fabio Fognini in the previous round ended with an extended moment at the net. As a friend put it, "even though it looked like a pleasantly happy chat he could have been threatening him for some slight through that smile and wink. congratulating him or threatening him." (Yes.)
Jo-Willie Tsonga was the winner in Antwerp, beating Argentine Diego Schwartzman 6-3, 7-5.
The win put the Frenchman in contention to still qualify for the year-end championships in London, and capped one of the most erratic years in tennis history.
Damir Dzumhur, who made tennis history last month in Russia by becoming the first Bosnian-Herzegovinian to win an ATP World Tour title, captured title No. 2 on Sunday, defeating Ricardas Berankis, 6-2, 1-6, 6-4, to win the VTB Kremlin Cup. "I really don't know, but there is something special here in Russia. Maybe the crowd, I don't know," said Dzumhur after the match.
Good for him. But I was kind of rooting for Berankis, who like my paternal grandfather's father hails from Lithuania ...
has my old bangs -- and some of the best gams on the men's tour.
Meanwhile, Julia Görges of Germany claimed her first singles title of 2017 at the VTB Kremlin Cup on Saturday, defeating Daria Kasatkina of Russia, 6-1, 6-2. Goerges captured the third singles title of her career, and her first in over six years. Worth noting that Maria Sharapova, fresh off her win last week in China, lost in straight sets in the first round to Magadalena Rybarikova, who then retired in her next match.
And finally, Carina Witthoeft of Germany defeated Monica Puig 6-3, 7-5 to win the title in Luxembourg. It was a solid performance for the Puerto Rican who has been on quite a losing streak since winning the Olympic gold medal in Rio. She dedicated her week to her people back home, who are still struggling from the effects of Hurricanes Maria and Donald.

The women are now in Singapore for the WTA Championships, but the tour already gave out its year-end awards -- perhaps undercutting the importance its own tour title. Happy to see that Garbine Muguruza was named player of the year -- there's a good chance she will not end up No. 1 in the rankings, playing Petra Kvitova to Simona Halep or god forbid Elina Svitolina's Caroline Wozniacki circa 2011. Hingis/Chan were named doubles team of the year; French Open champ Jelena Ostapenko got most improved; CiCi Bellis was best newcomer and U.S. Open champ Sloane Stephens was named comeback player of the year.
All we can do now is hope Halep goes down in flames -- and that Muguruza plays like we know she's capable of. We really don't need another Slamless year-end number one.

Kit Williamson Talks Sexual Harassment in Hollywood
Stephan Horbelt, who used to run Frontiers and is now executive editor for the gay app Hornet, did a little digging into the topic of sexual harassment in the entertainment industry. He notes that before Harvey Weinstein was unveiled as an inside-the-industry predator — a misogynistic sexual harasser, alleged rapist and all-around creator of toxic environments for seemingly every woman who encountered him in a span of 30 years — there was the Fox News duo of Roger Ailes and Bill O’Reilly. And before them, it was Bill Cosby -- which is to say nothing of the man living at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. NW.
That got Hornet wondering: When will Hollywood’s other shoe drop, that “shoe” being worn by a gay version of Harvey Weinstein, for that matter? Who will be next?
Actor/filmmaker Kit Williamson, who appeared on the final two seasons of "Mad Men" and created and starred in the LGBT Emmy-nominated series "EastSiders," tells Hornet:
On being assaulted at his first Hollywood party:
“I was 18 years old on my first trip to Los Angeles in college. I went to a party with a friend of mine that was held at the house of a pretty big agent at one of the top five agencies. One of those big ones that has three letters in the name, if that narrows it down a little bit. The guy tried to put his hand down my pants while telling me that I would never make it as an actor if I was openly gay. It was kind of a one-two punch of harassment and homophobia, and I think the two things do kind of go hand in hand. One of the reasons why we haven’t had a gay Harvey Weinstein yet, I think, is that a lot of people don’t want to speak out because of homophobia.”
On various "industry parties":
“I came to the industry when I was already over 18, but it’s kind of an open secret that there are, or were, let’s call them ‘industry parties’ that were largely populated with a very young crowd, a teenage crowd. I do know people who went to those parties, and I do recall being invited to those parties and not attending. It honestly made me a little grateful that I spent my teenage years doing theater in New York, because I heard a lot of rumors of things that happened to friends and friends of friends. I think it’s an open secret that not everybody in that scene was 18, but I can’t speak from personal experience; I didn’t go to those parties.”
On what women are facing in Hollywood:
“We need to make [public conversation] universal in the hopes of amplifying women’s voices. Because every woman I know in Hollywood has been propositioned for a role, or forcibly groped, or in some other ways had her agency taken away at some point while working. Every woman I know. It’s an outlier story for gay men. Because my story — I have that experience, but it’s not the same.”

The Impossible Gayness of Being
Love that he pinpoint this eye-opening moment about being gay. Reminds me so much of my own, when Kate Jackson was on “The Tonight Show” in 1982 to promote “Making Love” — and when she told (guest host) David Brenner it was about homosexuality, the crowd reacted similarly. Brenner chastised the audience but I learned right then and there that I should be ashamed of myself and went from being an outgoing kid to a painfully self-conscious teenager and young man.
