Michelle Collins is no longer in the opening credits of the show. No picture no name…nada….LOL

And Roger looked very slow in his match today. I don't see him winning another major. I actually think he should retire..

Both CoCo and Thiem lost. I was actually looking forward to seeing Thiem vs. Zverev. I was equally looking forward to Keys vs. CoCo. Coco had a meltdown of pure exhaustion. Thiem also ran out of gas and you could tell. I hope Zverev wins! If he does he will be ranked #24 in the world. Right now he is #28..up 10 spots from last week!

Justin Gimelstob went on and on again at how great John Isner played today. Mary mentioned how Justin was still heavily involved in his game even though he wasn't his coach anymore.

I guess he is older now and a little less nervous about playing a gay character. That was the rumor at the time correct? He wanted off ATWT because Luke was going to be gay? I thought that the rumor was La Zimmer that didn't want him playing the role anymore?

LOL….maybe they want him to just stand there and smile and squint those eyes of his…LOL

Im glad Co Co won. I can't stand Aga's game….it is horrible. How she is ranked in top 5 is beyond me…she was on her way out of the top 20 a year ago which IMO is where she should be with the tennis game she has.

There are a lot of awful actors on TV. At least he comes off like a nice guy. I am surprised FV hasn't hired him for a part on GH. He'd be much better to see than Doggy Daddy or Roger Howarth.

Her shade is hilarious: "All I can say is we employ a veteran, and he's a good person." She must have really wanted him out. I wonder if the execs regret it now that he apparently has gained weight. I wasn't going to check the show out but this makes it sound like it at least deserves a try. UnReal is SOOOOOOO good. I'm obsessed with it. It's not at all what you would expect from a Lifetime series. I highly recommend. If you're not a fan of Josh Kelly, don't worry; he's not the central focus. I wish he was a bigger focus on the show. The guy is great and enjoy his fb postings...

Thiem wins again! Sasha wins too and moves to #34 in the rankings past Grigor who continues to drop and is now at #38. Looks like Kei is injured again. I don't see him winning a major anymore. I think Thiem will pass him in the ratings by the end of the summer. Can Justin Gimelstob STFU?? He was commentating on John Isner's match and still acts like he is his coach…..then he was saying John had the best shot in tennis which was his serve….Mary Carillo shut him down….LOL….said his return wasn't very good and thus why Serena is better than him and John's lack of success….LOL…..Justin made some comment how Serena's serve wasn't as good as John's…..

I am just surprised that Berdych got rid of DV so fast….considering how long he had lasted with his previous and only coach. And him wearing his wedding ring when he wasn't before looks odd…….As for Feliciano …I am sure Judy Murray is doing cartwheels at the news….LOL…and so is every gay male who watches tennis…..LOL. Grigor has had more gf's…than wins on the tour lately…..LOL…..He can't have both….he is a player that can't have the females around him and concentrate on tennis….it really is a shame that he isn't giving it 100% in getting his game back on track. Stan has never been good in grass…he looks funny playing on grass…so not surprised that Fernando won….I saw the match and Fernando played well.

Lundgren is coaching one of the new male stars…I forget which one. You know its bad when Lendl goes back to Murray and doesn't give you a call saying hey I am available again….LOL. I have a feeling a lot of people on the tour and off the tour agree with McEnroe when he said that Berdych doesn't really want it that bad. Once again today he lost a match to Baggy which he should have beaten. He is still at #8 in the world but if Raonic does well in the tune up to Wimbledon he will overtake him and Berdych will drop to number 9. With 3 to 4 other guys real close in points to him …Berdych could drop out of the top 10 just like Ferrer did. I don't see Ferrer returning to the top 10. The guys ahead are younger and just too good. And Grigor lost another first round match today….sigh….so much promise wasted…..

He is doing great! There was an article today about Federer and how this might be the end for him because of his two loses against Thiem and his injures this year. I'll say maybe 2 years with him. Did you hear what McEnroe said about Berdych during the French? He pretty much blasted him on not really wanting to win a major. I wonder if Berdych heard about it. And who is his new coach? I laughed when Mary Carillo said she had no idea who the man was coaching him….and Lyndsay Davenport said the same thing….LOLOL He is a mystery man. I also noticed that once Valleverdu left….Berdych started wearing his wedding ring on his finger instead of his shoe lace. I found that odd and maybe telling?? And he started playing the tennis he should have been playing except in the Quarters where he ran out of gas...

Thiem wins again!

Flavia looks gorgeous! She looks so much better than Berdych's trashy wife did with her underwear wedding dress..…LOL. That would have been a great wedding to attend. And Dominic Thiem is looking great again this week! Murray has hired Lendl again as his coach. I am sure somewhere right now Tomas Berdych is yelling and screaming…LOL

Here is a scene with Rick Ryan. Dee Stewart is also in the scene. I always liked the actress who played Dee. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vqDGM4dB2XU Here is a scene with Rick and Bob https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aGFuwPSYVgY

True. I just believe that if Craig turning evil again was shown on the shown instead of him coming back to Oakdale with a plot and scheme would've probably made older fans buy it more. I do believe that Rick would've been more reasonable over Craig to be the show's pariah. I feel like when Scott Bryce came back that they should've restored Craig to the leading man he was under Marland. They could've made someone else the pariah. Nah, Goutman wanted Craig hated but the audience wasn't buy it. I forgot what the story was at the time. I tend to forget stories that insult my intelligence. Since fans/viewers were on Craig's side he blamed it on Bryce's acting. So he fired him. Fans that were left watching, which I assume were the long term viewers, knew Bryce's Craig very well and thus his reasons for doing things. They had come to love his version of Craig so putting him in inept story that made him the villain was going to fly with long term fans.

Its believable and not believable that Craig did those crimes. Remember Craig put a bomb in Steve's truck only to be the one who got caught in it. During his time in prison he begged for forgiveness from his mom….he later got out of prison and changed…don't recall if it was Marland or SBH who redeemed him. He didnt have any signs of going back to the dark side until Goutman and Sheffer took over. I mean it is believable he would turn evil again by his past but for the longest time he was prince charming and Steve became the villain by Marland. I never understood why they didnt keep Rick Ryan on longer with ATWT considering he had a sister in the canvas.

Tennis Channel was discussing it today and they mentioned how Maria didnt put on paper that she was taking meldonium. She is lucky she only got 2 years. I don't know why she is appealing it.

Tennis Channel had the breaking news this morning. By the time the ban is lifted Serena will probably no longer be playing. Maria might as well just retire. As for tennis….Stefan Kozlov beat pathetic Stevie Johnson in a tune up grass court tournament. Stefan is in the quarters…good for him.

I keep waiting for JVA to say I'm Valene…..LOL…….she looks so much like Sharon Case's mother ….LOL Poor Ted Shakelford …he looks like sh!t! And Kevin Dobson doesn't look much better…neither has aged well.
