Congrats to the Joker! 3 straight AO's - amazing! After the first two sets going to a tie-break, I thought I would miss one of the greatest matches ever but Andy couldn't recover after being broken in the 3rd set.

Nah. I just lost $10. If Murray won, I would've won $60. LOL

I want Sloane double bageled in the first round by someone outside of the top 200, and I need the people in the stands to make that happen. If she continues needling Serena in the press [for no reason], the spectators are going to let her have it during matches. Sloane won't do well if they turn on her. Every point will seem like the first, which makes the match longer.

Her mother needs to sit her down quickly!

And, I was laughing so hard at that first interview when they noted that her mom was trying to get her to STFU and she wouldn't -- this girl is such a flip flopper and I love how she's holding Serena to a different caliber when ALL if not most of these women and men either grunt or hype themselves up with a fist pump after getting a point, like please have several seats and the fact that she keeps losing is just icing on the cake.

This little bitch just did a fist pump and a "come on" after winning a point, but Serena can't do it? The noise Pova and Vika make during and after a point? GMAFB!

She's trying to back track and say the stuff was off the record BUT IT WAS STILL SAID! Then she goes in again and say S tries to scare people? Ugh! Davenport said it's not a good idea to go after the top dog in tennis, and she is right.

Serena laid a shellacking on Tatishvili. I love when she plays like that.

Rafa was a bit touch and go this morning. He had me worried against that big handsome German.

Venus might want to think about retirement. Her body can't do it anymore. She is young and wealthy, so it might be time.

Monfils is very impressive. For a while, I wanted him to go away because he just didn't look like he took the game serious. Too much flying and diving and all he came up with were injuries. No wins to show for the clown antics. He seems to have re-directed that energy and playing a really good match against Berdych.

Don't forget Sharapova! OMG when she and Azarenka play -- Mute City up in here.

LOL, not even just that but you are BARELY in the Top 20, your highest level of Tennis is besting Serena duing that round at the Auddie Open when usually you're out during the first or second round... like have several seats and its not just her I say this stuff about. I remember last year or earlier this year when some girl and guy made fun of Serena's T&A during their doubles match when they were on break and I'm like, doesn't she wipe the floor with you?

If she had enough game to back it up then I'd be like, ok maybe you can throw a little shade but no, you have no titles and your game sucks so STFD.

I didn't see Ren yet, going to try and catch it if NBC airs it a bit.

I read about that but glad Rafa pulled a win.

Agreed 100% every thing she goes up for she's out early as hell, her health may no longer allow for this. She should definitely retire from singles, she may be able to do doubles with Serena because they are good with that.

I've always liked Monfils... I haven't heard much from him in ages because I think he normally was out during Rd. 1 or 2 and I definitely have started liking Tsonga and Tipsy.

    • Hmm, okay.  BTW, my only problem with Kai & the surgery story is where is this guy's family? And, another BTW, I think I may have inadvertently added to that rumor from last year about a male descendant of Justus Ward. You see, that is an idea I could really get behind! Like I would pay to see those scenes. And, true, I did hear it ... [sheepish grin]

      Yes they can. While rare, its not like soaps in the past havent said F that and used flashbacks of a scene even when a recast has been done. OLTL used to do that
    • Well, I am glad to know that & for it to make sense, so thanks for the info &  the perspective, also. At the end of AMC 1.0, I thought the new young talent was really quite good, but I missed Eden & NuBianca just ... well, I wasn't 100% sold on her & Bianca was so important to me. But then, Tad & Dixie were also important & yep, there's another problem, for me I mean. I'm not your typical AMC fan but I hung in there anyway. I know what you mean because it wasn't as good as it once had been but it was still Agnes's show in Pine Valley. Some of that is a bittersweet nostalgic clinging to the past, I guess. By that time I'd been through so many show cancellations. AW, Santa Barbara, PC, The City, GL, ATWT.

          Betsy Snyder, when she was at DAYS was part of the WGA winning writing team before she died, tragically far too young.  
    • Yep Edmund and Tad went under cover to infiltrate the... Willow Lake (I think?) old folks community scandal that was exploiting Phoebe, etc.  (Which at one point led to Edmund rescuing Brooke from quicksand--common around Pine Valley I guess

      ) EDIT maybe I'm wrong.  I found the quicksand scene

      But for the story all I can find is Edmund going undercover as the gigolo "preying" on older women, Eduardo (no one would recognize him with that disguise and name ) so the drag must have been.. a different story?    
    • But then he HATES the original Heather Webber (Cher's half sister played her, right?) and we know what happened when Robin would step into the role a year after this.  He does seem pretty spot on about actors who show promise otherwise.  It's interesting he knocks OLTL early on (though I loved all the recently released episodes from this era we got) but does give a lot of credit to the actress playing Cathy despite earlier complaining about her story.  And over all, while quite negative, his various pros and cons on the shows sounds about right with what I know of the shows at this time. This was a July dated issue of the magazine but and I know they date mags a month or two in advance--obviously when he wrote this he didn't know Lovers and Friends was gonna go off the air (in May I think).
    • You know one of the soap outlets posed that question just last week: Who do you want Trina with Spencer or Kai? And, of course, the picture of Spencer was NAC. I said, well, a lot. I chose Kai. I said that Spencer had been an entitled brat & that some people valued him over her, when I valued her above all others. I guess we'll see.
    • You're right. The only thing I can think of is if GH finally decides to bring back Spencer.
    • Sharon Rose Gabet told me on Facebook that she calls this "Baby Raven".
    • I imagine the storyline would now segue into Laura's accident. But I hope they manage to keep Leslie around though. I really don't want her to be written out, or get the DOOL treatment where she just pops up every so often to cause some short term trouble; the character and the actor were such a find.
