Plus, here’s a mic drop:

Wow at Wang Yafan coming back from a set and break down against Kenin to win her first WTA tour title in Acapulco. She really gets some pop on her shots.

Oh funny. I went to school with the writer of that article many, many moons ago.

This has been making the rounds today:

I was thinking that Stephen Schnetzer still looks handsome even with that bushy beard. 

He can still get it after all these years. Hot and *that voice.*

It’s not often that I root for John Isner.

I wonder if the full electronic line calling they use at the NextGen finals in Milan will ever be fully used at tour-level tournaments across the board. I’ve read that it’s likely a lot cheaper than employing several linespeople. Certainly, it would help avoid these shocking calls.

Although I enjoy watching Stefanos play, he does come off sometimes as an entitled brat. Monfils had a chance to close out the match in straight-sets in the 2nd set TB and made a big blunder in not challenging a ball that turned out to be out--even the commentators called it right away and wondered why Monfils did not challenge.  When he sees the video, he's going to want to kick himself.

Anyway, congrats to Tsitsipas on making the Top 10.

Ugh. That’s infuriating. That’s not the first time he’s let a dubious call slide when he’s had challenges left. 

Not sure if there’s an MJ thread but...

Impressive. Could be TV’s most successful soap.

Rena Sofer and Wally Kurth (Lois/Ned, GH) - paired on the show, married for two years before divorcing

Laura Wright and Wes Ramsey (Carly/Peter, GH) - dating

Lisa Brown/Tom Nielsen (Nola/Floyd, GL) - married nine years with an indie rocker son, divorced

Courtney and Peter Simon (Kathy/Scott, SFT) - married 44 years; Courtney had previously played a character on GL who dated Ed Bauer, a role later recast with future husband Peter. Courtney wrote for GL while Peter played Ed.

Bill and Susan Seaforth Hayes (Doug/Julie, DAYS) - duh
