Nadal and Isner is gonna be interesting. I get so umcortable watching Iz because he's so damn tall.

But word on the street is that Sharapova "made" papa Yuri call Connors and fire him. They didn't get along from day one. Maria felt that Jimmy had no knowledge of women's tennis or her game. She felt he brought basic teachings to the table and offered nothing of value. Since Yuri insisted she hire Jimmy, he should be the one to fire him? Um no, Maria, ultimately, you hired Jummy and you have to man up and fire him. But what's done is done, Jimmy is probably toasted right about now (all he said was that he was going home and having a stiff drink).

My 2 favorite female players did battle, and of course, I love when S wins, but I would not have been broken up if Na had won.

The close score makes it look like a great match, but it wasn't. S played some bad Tennis, and I don't see her winning the US Open if this continues.

I had to turn, turned back later on and she won. I was happy.

My mom was making me laugh about del po saying how he was up and let Isner come back so he deserved to lose.

Li Na was handling it a little bit -- hope she steps it up even more for US Open if she's playing.

Really disappointed that Serena couldn't close the match today. She should be embarrassed! However, eventually, she will be where Fed is. They can't stay #1 forever, and her replacement is on her way just as Fed's was over a year ago. The tennis she played in Cincy? I'm shocked she made it to the finals. However, she is possibly the GOAT in women's tennis, but she is now at the point to where not playing well against the field is different from not playing well against Vika, Stosur and a few others.

She looks very healthy, but Vika wants the US Open, and she is possibly the only person to take it from S. Here's to hoping S remains #1 at least until February 14, which is the month she took that spot.

Congrats Nadal! Didn't see that match (or S' for that matter, just kept up with the score on Twitter), but because it appeared really tight, looks must see. Will have to check it out.

John Isner moved up to #14 with a final appearance at Cincy.

Milos in the top 10 didn't last very long...lol...he dropped to #11.

Richard went back into the top 10 with an early loss at Cincy..weird...lol

    • Another lot of skipped episodes to look forward to when the time comes on Videoland. So annoying. They have skipped so many, especially in  season 15 where they skipped 19 episodes throughout the season.
    • thank you for uploading the rest of season 12!!! I hope i can get them soon the links down! Thank you again for posting the B&B classic episodes to revisit!!!!
    • 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.
