First set, Bartoli 61..

Lisicki's nerves are so evident, and she's about to cry in the middle of the first set. Her win against S was not a fluke because she backed it up against #4. Her first serve goes straight into the net, and that is the complete opposite against S. She better pull it together because Bartoli is pouncing on everything!

77 YEARS! Not only did Andy accomplish something this huge, he did it beating in true fashsion - beating the best player in the world (in straight sets too!) To have a nation, a kingdom, all that pressure on you can be very daunting but he was able to pull through. Damn Lisicki! I could've won $77 if she had won. LOL

Rankings including Wimbledon.....Roger dropped to 5 and he is number 6 for the year end championship and only the top 8 make it....

Roger could drop further as low as 8 or 9. He has a lot of points do defend this summer...Rafa will probably pass Ferrer since he has no points to defend since he didnt play last summer....I think thats why Roger is playing clay court tournaments he hasnt played in years....I can see Berdych and Del Po passing him before the US Open.

I was thinking the exact same thing! Roger could very easily miss the top 8 by YE. He's not winning the US Open (so sorry to have to say this), so he better pretend to be Wosniacki, Safina and Jankovic and play any tourney he can get his racket on. These 3 women made it to #1 w/out winning a slam because they played so many tournaments in between slams. Not sure there is anything to worry about with Tsonga, but Berdych and Del Po have beaten Fed in key matches before. Going out in R2 at Wimby, his best surface? We may have a problem.

Don't even want to think about Murray winning :(

Correction: Buzzard didn't win, Djoker lost playing that awful amateur match sad.png

Yeah Murray won last year. I dont see him winning this year and Novak was runner up. The final was awful as well with the wind over 40 mph....just lousy tennis conditions and the match sucked!

So both Murray and Novak have lots of points to defend....Berdych reached the semis losing to Murray. He should have beaten Murray too but the wind was all over the place during their match too and Murray won in 4 sets. I forget who the other semifinalist was.

    • 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.
