I guess it's too much to expect announcers to call matches and skip the psychoanalysis, mind reading, and projecting. The first set was all about how tired Djokovic was and how he wasn't on his game presumably Wawrinka's fault. Then they switched to how he was made to go five matches because of his endurance training. They were pleased that "this guy" was waking up and "this guy" was possibly tightening up. I stopped watching for a set and a half and turned back on in time for the final set. I don't remember all of that noise when Djokovic failed to show up against Andy Murray.

And how stupid is their graphic of a "big four?" Andy Murray doesn't belong in a big anything unless it's a list of ugly players. Roger Federer may have fallen off but are they seriously comparing his career winners to Andy Murray? This is all Djokovic's fault for not dispatching Andy Murray twice.

Good for Nadal.

Men's Final Rating

2.7 rating with a 0.9 in women 18-49

Much lower than the women's final with Serena....5.3 rating and a 1.6 in women 18-49

Men's tennis needs one of the USA male players to start breaking out....Nadal, Murray and Joker are NOT bringing the ratings in the USA....only Roger seems to do that for now.

    • 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.

    • You're welcome! I can't wait to read what your thoughts are... when and if you get into it, of course. "The Mansion Of The Damned" is amazing. It has everything - thriller, horror, crime, drama, soapy madness. Then as soon as it ends... you get Raven's return... which re-starts the whole show for me. So... I'm really happy for you! You're in for a treat.
