This. It’s beyond overdue. And it wouldn’t be *that* inorganic. At least not any more than the shows already are.

From your lips to God’s ears! 😂

Ivan Lendl is looking MUCH better these days. I hardly recognized him at the trophy ceremony.

Um... 😂

Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper did a dry run of “Shallow” at Gaga’s Vegas show. Gotta fine-tune it for the Oscars, I suppose.

This match was BANANAS. The closest thing to gladiatorial spectacle I’ve seen on a tennis court.

I like that TC has the rights to those matches. The wheelchair matches were quite entertaining as well.

I didn’t realize Lorenzo Musetti won the boys’ single championship. It looked like the American Emilio Nava was in total control of that match. But... cool!

Well, here’s a stat!

Yeah. I just edited my post because I’d forgotten Serena had actually won four in a row in 2014-15.

Oh no. He just meant winning consecutive slams within the past eight years (Serena, W & USO, 2012 and USO, AO, RG, & W in the second “Serena Slam” and her quest for the CYGS in 2014-15). Naomi broke an eight Slam streak of different individual champs.

😂

You’re welcome, @DramatistDreamer. We were really beginning to face these very issues when I worked in cable, so I try to read everything about streaming I can find, only because it’s very fascinating to see how it’s evolving. Case in point: As we discussed previously:

Indeed. Chris Fowler just mentioned she was the first back-to-back Slam champion on the women’s side in the past eight years other than... Serena. Good company. Her clay/grass games probably need some work to get those French and Wimbledon titles just yet, but how great is it to be No. 1 and still have so much room for improvement, even on hardcourt? And oh snap, Matt Zemek with the shots fired against Ben Rothenberg (and his anti-Bo5 obsession): Petra’s emotional runner-up speech:

NAOMI DID IT! Wow. Incredible. Back-to-back Slams and the new World No. 1! Choked in the second, holding multiple championship points, but collected herself and pushed through. That really delivered the drama. So, so good. Gutted for Petra, but she’ll have chances with the next two Slams.

This guy 😍

😍😍😍 Loved when she rocked out.

^Right.

Interesting article with some info applicable to the soaps.
