I think whether or not they are deserving is another matter. All I’m saying is that their bets paid off. Probably pretty safe bets in a year when everyone and their daddy is getting nominated for GoT.

To be fair, they weren’t wrong about Kit and Emilia, who were nominated in the tougher lead categories.

Alfie Allen, Gwendoline Christie, and Carice van Houten all self-submitted for Emmys because HBO thought they were long shots and didn’t bother. They were all nominated yesterday, which apparently doesn’t happen much with self-submissions. GoT was, of course, riding a wave in its final season and scored 32 nominations, the most ever in a single year for a program.

This is funny. Federer makes the same play with Djokovic on the left and Murray on the right, with very different results.

Also, STAT! Can you imagine having to beat all three (including Federer)?

This is super cool. I’m sure his reception in Japan will be massive. STAT. How clutch was Novak during those TBs? He really tightened up his game, but Roger really came unglued.

David/Kat still hold up as a couple. Such great chemistry between Nia and Monti. Monti’s Southern accent was STRONG.

Novak was awful on return. He usually plays Roger so well.

Weirdest, jankiest GS final ever. I love Novak and I’m glad he won his 5th Wimbledon and 16th Slam, but that was terrible. And the TB sort of felt like a coin toss.

Serena didn’t seem to be that enthusiastic about her team during her remarks. I just read that Simona made THREE unforced errors during that whole match.

Simona is no longer a one-major wonder.

I mentioned the Kerber final. This was almost exactly the same, except that Halep was even better. Great mover and defender. Serena came in not really tested by an elite player. If Serena is still making finals, she’ll still have chances.
