This show is likely to be more diverse. Hopefully landing on streaming means it can stay a bit racy.

Nick keeps talking sh!t about Novak and keeps lording his 2-0 record over him (even though Novak was losing to everyone around that time). Meanwhile, Nick keeps losing early every time he shows up in Novak’s section of the draw.

Yeah, I heard he looked super flat. But I also Rublev was flawless.

Wow at Yoshi! Edit: saw that Kei was sick.

Some history of that first merger (which I admittedly haven’t read in its entirety): https://variety.com/2019/tv/news/cbs-viacom-merger-20-years-later-moonves-redstone-karmazin-freston-1203265965/

I keep reading that ViacomCBS, in order to build competitive scale against Disney/Netflix/etc., is looking to acquire properties like AMC Networks, Discovery, AND Sony’s entertainment businesses (which would have Y&R implications, naturally).

I’m all about this Nishikori/Nishioka match later today. Can’t watch, though. 🔥

Just saw Madison came through against Mugu. How random that Cryface Sevastova, who lost R1 in both Canada and Cincinnati, just made her top 10 debut in the live rankings. I know she just won a tournament in Latvia, but still. She’s defending SF points at the USO later this month, so she’s got a lot riding on this hardcourt season.
