What a match between Wozniacki/Kuznetsova! My girl battled through that second set, down 4-1 in the set and already down a set. I would've been sad if Caroline lost on a day that Ana Ivanonic lost and course Maria Kirilenko losing yesterday.

I can't believe the Federer match is going to be played tonight! LOL I hope Federer wins and that it won't be a close one because I do not want to stay up to watch it.

Yeah, that Djokovic/Dolgopolov first set tie-break was amazing!

They pimp Fish because he's American lol. The American Tennis Media for 15 years were used to having two Americans in the top 5 winning grand slam after grand slam (Agassi and Sampras). The, Roddick came along and looked to be the next best thing... well he tanked, is now out of the top 20 and Fish has been consistent enough to get a top 10 ranking. Its no surprise he's focused on alot, at the US Open.

Funny you should mention ratings. This years French Open final between Federer and Nadal was highly ranked. I don't know how well the Djokovic vs Nadal Wimbledon final did but I do get that they want to pimp the americans so the ratings can go up. I mean really..all the pimping Donald Young is getting in the US Open is absurd. Again like Fish he has accomplished even less.

If I were the ESPN commentators and CBS ones minus Mary Carrillo...I would worry about women's tennis. It's on a big downslide. The Women's final of the French Open this year did very poorly in the ratings.

If there is one thing that really peeve's me off when watching a sport of any sort is bias commentary.

It is like there is only one person on the court or one team out on the ground/field, and 9 times out of 10 it is the other side lol.

They go on about what they need to do better what part of their game they need to pick up and I would scream at the TV hey what about my side and how they are going. Which is most proberly the reason why I would prefer to watch Tennis matches that involve Aussie's with no sound on.

The absence of the Williams sisters is no coincidence. The women's game has been built around those two the last decade and no other player has shown to be very consistently good, and there is no other rising American which does not help either. Serena appears to be coming back to form rather quickly and barring any other injuries, she probably has a good 3 or 4 years left where she will be a perennial grand slam contender. Venus however, I think may be finished especially after being diagnosed with these disease.

    • With Eva having Ted on her side now. Leslie will for sure now be jealous of her, lol. This should be fun.
    • It's possible that Leslie has narcissistic personality disorder https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/narcissistic-personality-disorder/symptoms-causes/syc-20366662
    • Me saying all the praise for Eva/Ambyr. Y'all..

    • Yeah, something is not right here. I will continue to have doubts about Leslie being Eva's mother for the time being. Until at least the writing/behavior of her character changes. She is acting way too cold/uncaring/hateful to be her mother. I know as soap fans, we have seen our share of rough around the edges, bad acting mothers. But even some of the roughest of soap mothers have acted like they love their children. Even if they don't always make the best decisions regarding them. Or are often at odds with them. Leslie has not shown anything for me to show that she even cares about Eva, even a little. It's all about what Leslie/wants needs and what Eva can do for her. As soon as she felt like Eva no longer served a purpose for her she threw her away. I am interested in seeing what happens with Leslie going forward. She really doesn't have anyone on her side. Eva at least now has Ted and Tomas to a lesser degree. I think that some others will eventually come to accept Eva in time.
    • I'm looking forward to seeing the first 18 minutes or so that we missed earlier this episode. But I loved what I saw today: I thought that what I saw of Bill's/Ted's interaction was realistic and interesting. I know we have hardly seen them interact, but I think that they have nice chemistry together. And Iiked the dialogue that they had about their roles/mistakes in this whole paternity reveal/hurting Nicole. I would like to see them interact more together in the future. I also enjoyed Dani being there for Nicole and giving her good advice. I did lol when Dani said she wanted to take off her earrings and be left alone with Leslie, Eva, Bill and Ted... I like Nicole as always acting mature and measured and trying to process what has happened to her along with support from her sister. I like that her family supported her and gave her space (including her parents) and then she went to them when she was ready. I enjoyed her scenes with her parents at the end. Speaking of parents, Leslie continues to act like this. Her behavior towards Eva is trash and she literally threw the picture of them together at the end in the trash. She really doesn't deserve Eva, and I continue to wonder if she really is her mother. She is just too cold towards her and sees her as a means to an end. I really wonder if she thought that Ted was going to help Eva. Or if she was hoping that he would turn her away as well. I'm glad he helped her and wants to try and have a relationship with her. It will cause conflict with the rest of the family, but it's the right thing for him to do, IMO.
    • What an interesting read @Paul Raven. Thank you so much for posting it. Annette
    • She’s riveting. And how she transitioned from utter devastation after the confrontation with Leslie to hopeful in the Ted scene—so seamless. She’s easily the most exciting actress I’ve seen in daytime in a looooooooong time. If she’s not the face of this show in a few months, they’re leaving money on the table.
    • Yeah either Leslie is a demented mother, or Leslie is not the real mother.
    • Ambyr is killing it per usual. The Eva and Leslie confrontation was GOOD. I gotta admit Ted taking in Eva and promising to do right by her made me cry.    See, he can still be a decent guy
