What an embarrassing performance from Roddick. ..lol

I actually felt sorry for him. He stunked up the place with his awful performance.

Damn...thought John might beat Andy Murray....I can't stand Murray.

The match I am looking forward to is Djokovic and Federer.

The other blah...dont like either player...but I'd rather Nadal win than boring no talent Murray.

All of Murray's obscenities were stupid. Seriously is Murray that dumb....lol

*sigh* Why do you give your fans hope, Roger? Was shocked when he went up 2 sets to 0. Then I said he had to win in 3 sets because he's not going to win in 5 sets. Then amazingly, he gets 2 match points in the 5th set, like last year, and he doesn't pull it out. That return shot on Roger's first match point by Novak was amazing. For a guy who's career is on the downside, he almost makes it to the final and almost takes out the guy who's playing the best tennis right now.

Great men's matches today. I didn't get to see the Djokovic and Federer match but have it on DVD. I did see the ending on CBS. The Nadal and Murray match was less entertaining yet good.

The women's semis ....boring....boring....Caroline sucked! Serena giving her free cheap points and yet she still couldnt take the second set to a tie breaker.....

Caroline will never win a major with the kind of game she has now.

Yay Sammy, didn't choke. Got to see the last game here, had the live scoreboard up in the back ground of my compter here at work.

Well done to Sam Stosur, 6-2 6-3

Sorry, but I do think that it was a little rude of the William's camp not to appauld after the match. It is like one of them makes the final they are expected to win.

I am glad Sam won. She truly deserved to win. I am so happy for her. She played a great match. I was glad she was able to recover after the whole Serena fiasco. I'm happy that her loss in the finals at the French Open made her stronger in this final.

Serena.....ugh....b itch needs to grow the hell up! She doesn't know the damn rules and yet again she is fighting and arguing with the umpire. She didn't even know she wasn't the same umpire that did her other match. Serena looked like a damn fool. It was deja vu all over again with the kim clijsters match. Serena is just a damn bad sport. She only calmed down because she knew there was egg all over her face. Sam played better than her and those are the facts. Her family not clapping for Sam was low. As Mary Carillo would say that's not cool.

I didn't know there was a hindrance rule! I understand why the rule is there but common sense needs to come in play. Serena yelling "Come on," didn't affect the outcome of the play at all. At the very least, they should replay the point because there's no way a player should lose a point in that situation. If it weren't for that play and Serena getting energized for at least a couple of games, it would've been over a lot quicker.

If I knew anything about Stosur's play, I would've bet on her! Her forehand is amazing. Also, Serena had a late match (the officials screwed up here again. They should've played the women's semis first, then the men's semis) and a toe injury. Stosur had good underdog money. Damn.

I don't see the big deal about Serena's camp not clapping.

The rain plus the long men's matches made the women's semis match start late. Stosur had a longer match that night.

I agree with you about Serena losing sooner than later had her I'm black so thats why you are against me routine again hadnt hapenned...please GMAFB.

Wow...you dont see a big deal about Serena's camp being bad sports...wow....lol

Btw....The Tennis Channel will rebroadcast the women's final tomorrow night after the men's final on CBS. The tennis channel will also rebroadcast the men's final after the women's final. I can't wait to hear Martina's comments on the whole Serena issue....lol

It's such a little thing to me. How do you know they didn't clap for her before or sometime during when the cameras weren't on them? Why is clapping such a big deal anyway? Ooohhh....they didn't clap!!! Snap!!!! I will have to say "Come on!!" to people who think not clapping is a big deal! LOL

Serena's mother probably doesn't even clap when one of her own daughter's win... bitch looks as cold as ice whenever they show her.

Serena played terrible, its as simple as that. Her serve was atrocious. Congratulations to Sam! The better of the two players today. She seems like such a cool, down to earth girl too! Hopefully her success continues to build, maybe at Melbourne in January!

You know the pressure will be on her more to win The Aussie Open In January. She shouldnt let the pressure get to her because she is now a grand slam champion.

I always wondered why she wasn't doing better in singles. I would see her playing doubles and winning and thought she'd be great in singles. Why isnt she doing good. Glad my impressions of her doing well in singles came true. I really enjoy her game and matches. Most of the female players are boring to watch and all they do is scream during each point.

I wish they would ban all the [!@#$%^&*] screeching during the points...its so annoying and not needed by the women players.

    • 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
