@slick jones’ soap hoppers thread is such a great resource, in case people want to cross-check or just go down the rabbit hole:

I hate when you can’t follow the whole tournament on a platform other than TC, which I have to pay extra for. It’s a problem, particularly with the French. I’m spoiled by the other tournaments airing on ESPN.

And I like that. We’ll see if she can be a Naomi and back it up with more majors or be an Ostapenko.

I thought it was a fun match, and I’m glad to see someone new win a major. She played really confident tennis.

Shemar Moore’s sole daytime role has been Malcolm on Y&R.

That shadow on Chatrier makes the match unwatchable. Cloud clover is helping. This is actually pretty entertaining. Some very aggressive play.

Indeed.

I was hoping to see Tom Pelphrey in the teaser too. Not sure how big his part is, though.

They all but confirmed it by finally cutting Maya from their recent opening but glad to see KM make it official. Sad that they allowed a “historic” character to just do the Irish goodbye. A waste and they painted Maya into a corner with a story they knew they couldn’t truly execute.

Lots of baseball legends leaving us in the past month...

Novak got it done, but man. This is a guy who was wearing a huge neck bandage and was complaining about his elbow a couple days ago. He didn’t need to take the scenic route today, especially with Rafa being much more efficient against Diego.

A potential holiday collab with Ariana and JHud?

Novak had match point and just completely came unglued.

Kenya is *living* over this, I can imagine.

Last minute replacement: Jack White.
