I think its the same as Serena's back. They've played a considerable amount of Tennis over the years and the body has changed. Same with Fed. Rafa is a few years younger than S and Fed, but look at the intense level of Tennis he has played over the last 5/6 years. The back will heal, it will bother them again, it will heal and then it will bother them again until S and Fed finally give in. This is what finally caused Agassi to retire. He could not ignore the back problems he had any longer. 2006 was a tough year for me :(

Ha...I agree...lol

Ferrer went back up to number 4 because Del Po lost early last week in the tournament that he was the defending champion and Ferrer keeps playing every week so he adds points. I dont know how much longer he can do that as he gets older. Berdych passed Murray in the ratings with a tournament win last week. Berdych is just 10 points away from moving back to number 5 in the world where he was for a while last year. He is having a good year so far and could break the top 4 by the time the French Open ends. As for Jo Willy...he has been dropping. He was higher than 10. If he cant close the door soon...lol...he will drop out of the top 10 in a few weeks.

I thought they the announcers had said that Murray had enough to jump from 7 to 5??? I was looking at the numbers too and thought Murray had passed Berdych. I am still pissed Berdych didnt win yesterday....lol....He has been on fire this year...his best year so far....So many times I wanted Fed to win and he never did and now he does...lol...dont get me wrong I love Fed and Edberg combo...always loved both but come on....lol

And Murray isnt playing top 10 ball IMO.....

Ok you were right...lol...the rankings from 3 to 8 are so close and now with the win Federer is back in the mix. Should be a great year! Del Po dropped to 7 and more than likely out for the season.

I got my rounds confused cause i was watching both tournaments at the same time..well day and night...i was thinking Murray had reached the semi thus gaining 180 points but it was 90....so glad dimitrov won...i was so happy for him and it the fans down south sure were for him. He looked so funny with the sombrero hat..haha...so cute....hehe....wow....so that means Berdych will be seeded 4....I thought delpo would be out but wasnt too sure about Ferrer.....Ferrer better play next week because he has 600 points to defend making the finals in Florida. So Fed will be seeded 6th with Ferrer and Delpo out...and also Ferrer has a lot of points to defend come clay season too with a final 1200 point French Open finals....Dimitrov will move up to 14 then....in Indian wells.

    • 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.
