John Gabriel (Seneca from RYAN’S HOPE and Andy Rivers on The Mary Tyler Moore Show, among other roles) has died at 90, according to his daughter, who announced his passing on Instagram. https://www.instagram.com/p/CQFBhDNJ915/?utm_medium=copy_link

I saw that on The Hollywood Reporter too. From the photo they selected on THR, only Gallagher and Levin are still with us.

@SoapsudsNishioka posted this video of practicing with Thiem at the French (note you don’t really see him at all—but it’s just funny to hear Yoshi’s commentary about Thiem’s technique and how difficult it is to play him): https://youtu.be/nYHgmVwf_pM

One of the greatest character actors ever.

Ha!

NBC is garbage.

Never count out Novak.

Strong 2015 vibes.

Getting Wawrinka vibes from this match. Djokovic has imploded after breaking to serve for the first set. He did all the hard work to dispatch Nadal. I wonder if he’s just depleted. And Stefanos isn’t missing much.

I hate when you watch bad, flat soaps and realize the actors have so much more personality and humor than what they’re able to show on screen.

I wonder if we’ll see regional styles come to the fore. Like Tennessee or Texas leaning on country or different regional versions of hip hop represented. And with Hawaii, American Samoa, etc. eligible, we could hear a lot of little-known indigenous styles. Spanish-language music with Puerto Rico, etc.

That was… hmmm. Very muted celebration from Krejcikova upon winning a Slam singles title. Nice tribute to Jana Novotna from Krejcikova. Krejcikova jumps from No. 33 to No. 15 in the rankings. Some controversy about whether or not Pavs’s shot was out on championship point:

Pavs had gummy bears during her trainer break lol.

Krejcikova is running away with this final against Pavs. Disappointing. Spoke too soon, as usual…

Two, three… yeah, the guy’s held up that trophy 13 times. Insane. He’s 108-3 at RG. Was not expecting such an epic match after Rafa took that 5-0 lead.

His second loss to Novak… he also lost to Robin Soderling in 2009, when Federer finally won the title.

Holy sh!t, Novak pulled it off!
