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. 🔥

James from Ghana 🇬🇭

Aaron from Orlando, Florida 🇺🇸

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.

Venus beat Bertens.

Dang from Vietnam 🇻🇳

Cool moment.

Hmmm...

She will be fine, of course. But she’s come so close since her return but had so many weird incidents (the meltdown opposite Osaka, the turning of her ankle opposite Pliskova, etc.)

Serena can’t catch a break.
