Speaking of a different Phyllis, I like Joyce Guy. She’s the polar opposite of WR: not a false note ever. Who here said she reminded them of the late Madge Sinclair? So spot-on. It’s hilarious how GH gets it so right with certain casting but BLOWS IT with these ridiculous (often political) hires.

Who is the guy to the right of Maria in the second picture?

I can not take Peter seriously. That is not the reaction I should be having. Imagine James Patrick Stuart playing any of this. It would be improved tenfold, and I don’t even like Valentin. RH is so distracting, even in throwaway scenes like the one with Jordan.

Lots of Drake this week: Lots of Drake breaking or tying records: Plus:

Ooof. Gotta hand it to John McCook. This is all so wrongheaded and done for shock value, but he’s committing to it and it’s almost affecting. B&B doesn’t deserve the actors it has.

It helps that Stafford and Bergman are good together. Adam doesn’t need THREE women craving his crotch—Sally, Chelsea, Sharon. Meanwhile Nick is going around looking forlorn at Phyllis. It makes no sense. (I know Chadam seem to be on the outs, but still.) Sally and Chloe could be decent friends, but I wish Sally had a real bestie. Like Theo could have been. I’m glad Camryn Grimes finally has a story that allows her to act, I guess.

Oh lord. $9.99 a month is a lot. At least they have a free trial…

Alejandro, a trainer from Houston 🇺🇸

💯 I’m sure he felt a sense of duty to Serbia, but… he wound up not being able to win any medal for them. (Steffi is one of the greats, but doing what she did at 19 in the women’s game is very different.) I don’t know what I would have done in his position. I don’t have 20 major titles lol.

I just wonder if Novak hadn’t Nishikori’d his draw (losing sets to far lesser opponents in the early rounds, including Nishikori himself), he’d have more in the tank. If he managed to keep Medvedev playing just a little longer to take advantage of the cramping… What if, what if, what if… lol. Novak really didn’t play his best this year, to be quite honest. He was lucky to have won the French and Wimbledon with that level of play. It’s a testament to his mental fortitude (clutch play) that he came this close to a Grand Slam at 34.

I’m glad the Slam tournaments are over for the year. Wow.

I’ve NEVER seen Djokovic get so much support, especially in NY, anywhere outside of Serbia.

I think he should tbh. Serena did after the 2015 run due to injury. Too much tennis. He should come back ready for Melbourne. He’s 34 playing Bof5 tennis. He risks his body if he pushes it too much. Well… at ND got ONE break lol.

Daniil isn’t going to crumble like the other guys, and Novak looks as discombobulated as his 2017 self. Down two sets and broken to start the third… it’s over.

He shouldn’t have played those damn Olympics. Hindsight. Got a little greedy. Disappointing. In any case, he’s had a great year, win or lose today. He just needs to not soil it with self-destructive behavior.

That was a shaky first game. Scratch that, shaky first set…

That was a pretty nice reception for Novak on Ashe.

I’m assuming you enjoyed the early-to-mid-2000s (with Clijsters, Henin, Venus, Serena, Capriati, Davenport, early Sharapova in the mix), or do you literally mean the late ‘90s (when Steffi was still playing)?

Ok, that was a looooong time ago lol.

Drake is looking like he’ll have 11 of Billboard’s top 12 with just tracks from Certified Lover Boy. Dude’s a streaming behemoth. He’d have 54 top 10 hits total if these predictions come to pass, 16 more than Madonna, who now has the second-most in history.

When was the last time the women’s tour was exciting for you? I thought 2018-19 had potential to start some new rivalries with Sabalenka, Osaka, and Andreescu coming up. This tournament was the most exciting it’s been in a while IMO. Last year’s USO semis with Osaka/Brady and Vika/Serena were also wonderful. Men’s tennis has some interesting new players, but it’s not yet exciting again to me. Intriguing, maybe.

Yeah, I thought about that too. Trying to figure out a way to hop on the surging Leylah train through the Commonwealth ties. I don’t remember them embracing the far less charismatic yet equally Canadian Milos Raonic as much when he beat their god Federer and played that Wimbledon final against Andy lol.
