Rain delays are ok and it was good to see some of the old matches.

I knew Roger was not going to win UO13, but I expected him to at least make it further. Robredo whipped him in straight sets!

Super happy that Serena put that little brat in her place. Hopefully, she won't be running off at the chops any longer. Sloane has a good game and slams are definitely in her future, but for now, show some respect and we need not mention that fluke in Australia ever again.

Kohlschreiber is hanging in with Nadal. Gimme 5 sets, but Nadal better reign supreme! I'm gonna need Nadal to spank that stupid Brit who won't go away.

Tipsy hasn't had a great year. He grinds a lot to wins matches and I think its taken a lot out of him this year.

The tournament was boring as hell all last week with so many weak match ups. The draw stunk this year.

I was hoping Kohlschreiber would be Nadal. I was never a fan of his but I recently saw an interview of his and truly enjoyed it. I have never liked Nadal but he was missed on the tour. He made a remark on how many hard court tournaments there are...too many. Really?? WTF is Rafa smoking?? There is only 7 total including the US Open and he doesnt even play 2 of those hard court tournaments because they are tier 2 tournaments. They should cut down on all the clay court tournaments. There is way too many from before the French Open to after it and then after Wimbledon...really?? And I think there are some after the US Open.

Djoker...pfft...pissed off since he lost to Murray twice already...he has gone back to when he was 3 in the world. I see Rafa being number 1 by the end of the year and then there's Carrot Top Murray...s hitty player with a sh itty attitude on court. Any wonder why there was talk on how to bring up the ratings for tennis....Roger is the most popular and brings ratings but he hasnt made any finals at all this year. And not many like Murray at all in the US. Joker is blah...he tries to be cute but most in the US hate him too...lol

    • I never understood the point of Marchetti. Summer left the show for a job there in Italy. OK. When she returned they had Jack buy the company. Why couldn't Summer have returned and simply stated it was not a good fit, she missed her home , family/friends etc It was absurd that this internationally successful fashion empire could just be bought by a US cosmetics firm at the drop of a hat. What was the point when they never did anything with it at all? Summer simply could have gone to work at Jabot. And wasn't there some nonsense about an offshhoot called Marchetti Home? Was Phyllis attached to that at some point? This show...

    • Haven't seen today's ep yet but so will be interested to see the clothes. So far I think they have been very character specific (even if I don't like some of them eg Kat's cutsie style) Anita is very showy/glittery, Nicole classic elegance, Dani sexy/bold colors etc. Unlike Y&R which seems much more generic. Also BTG pays attention to the men's wardrobe and has developed a style for the boyz-which is harder to do with male fashion. The absence of any of Derek/Ashley at any of these big events again demonstrates how they are in a different universe to the rest of the show. Not that a nurse and a fireman would be there but still they seem destined at this point to stay in their own lane and have little interaction with the core of the show.
    • Agnes had written for Bernard Grant for many years on TGL as well as Ernest Graves and Joe Gallison,Doris Belack,Robert Milli,and  Antony Ponzini at AW. So she would probably gravitate to writing a role with an actor in mind or choosing someone she had written for before who she knew could deliver.
    • Once Johnny Dallas' cut himself off from Laurie Ann Karr and their son, and once Laurie successfully recovered from her mental problems, she wanted a new, fresh, and healthy start for the next chapter of her life. She legally reverted her name and changed John Victor's  surname to Karr. After moving to the country (when Teri  Keane was dropped from the show), Bill and Martha Marceau legally adopted Jennifer, the baby girl whom they had earlier taken in when the child's biological mother, Taffy Simms (and other bio family members) proved to be unfit to raise her. Jennifer legally and emotionally became a Marceau, and gave that name to her own daughter, whom Jennifer birthed through surrogacy as a single parent. Et...voila! The Karr and Marceau legacies live on.

    • BLQ is having second thoughts regarding putting her baby up for adoption. Chase is upset he can't tell Dante. So both are putting this on at lulus feet. Saying she is holding it over them. Lulu is doing none of this. 
    • Yes she absolutely was involved in that story which seems to have gone nowhere.  She didn't start to remove herself from the writing until 1973.
    • Y'all are bringing back great memories of AMC 2.0 for me.  I haven't thought about it and the new characters in so long, well since it aired, and I plan to go re-watch it now. When AMC ended, I finally came to peace with it and accepted that I will never watch an hour of a TV show daily in my life again... something that I had been doing since I was 6-7 years old. I was starting a new career, relationship, and chapter in life when AMC 2.0 came out.  I found a way to watch it, but things felt differently for me at the time and when it was so short-lived and gone, it became such a distant memory, sadly.
