Sloane Stephens won the third round and will face Maria Sharapova next. She needs to mature and hopefully she will....sooner rather than later. For now, I'm just going to view what she did as the silliness of youth since I think she was only 19 then and 20 as of March. I hope she continues to do well and soaks in all of the life lessons she's bound to learn.

If she beats Sharapova, I'll be impressed but I'm waiting for Sharapova's beating from Rena.... I don't even chalk that up to youth tbh. Yeah it might suck to not being talked to -- it always does but GTFO with all that and I don't believe her for one minute thinking she was talking off the record. I really don't -- if it was off then your mom would not be trying to shut you up but when will these people learn to bring a tape recorder as well, so just in case on that one off chance you are right you have proof.

I think way too much about this stuff but Thanks Wales!

Isner is a dumbass...lol...he continues to get himself into these 5 set marathon matches....glad Tommy won though....Isner still has a lot to learn before he can challenge for a major.

Isner only has his serve (much like Andy Roddick), which would be ok if you didn't have so many players, with complete games, who can return it. Isner better hurry and win something because his knees won't be able to take much more of this. He is way too tall for the game and the other players are smart. Keep the balls low.

Marin Cilic, who is not quite as tall, is another one who is too tall for this game.

Isner has a good forehand too but doesn't know how to blow opponents off the court with his serve and forehand combo...I cant believe how big he is and still he cant control the points with guys who don't hit the ball as hard as he does.

I cant stand Marin or his game....his serve is cringeworthy....I have never liked him or his game.

You know, Gilles Simon has the same BH as Roddick. Two handed shoulders locked as he hops in the air most of the time. It's the most annoying thing, only I can tolerate Simone.

What do you think? Can Sveta send Serena home? She is a fantastic player, but I don't think her complete game is back, so if S makes it past Sveta, RG13 is hers!

I really want this!

    • 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.
