Just checked and Ferrer only has about 25 points to defend at Indian Wells and thats why I think he pulled out. He knows he needs to play the following week in Florida where he has a lot more points to defend. I knew Ferrer's years of grinding on the court would catch up to him.

Don't leave out Sugarmama. Little Giorgi clocked her big time. Maria arguing about the bystanders calling an out ball out? Waste of energy because the ball had left her side of the court and had just about landed when the noise was made. There was no hindrance. Just a matter of time before Sven Groenfeld is a thing of the past. I believe Maria is only holding onto him so she can avoid ridicule, especially after dispatching Connors so quickly. One match? Although I did hear that they clashed quite a bit in that short time.

The match between Harrison and Fognini. I would fine both asswhipes! It was ridiculous. They couldn't bleep out Fognini's foul mouth because it was live. He wouldn't play until the supervisor came out and he lost the point anyhow. Then you have Harrison tossing his hissy and trying to force a BS MTO in retaliation. I was disgusted!

Sloane slayed Ivanovic. Ana has not lived up to her win against Serena at AO14 [not many do].

Azarenka and her theatrics. The commentators were all over her. Total drama queen!

Nadal does not have many years left. He consistently played an intense level of tennis for how many consecutive years? His knees and back are paying him back in full.

Tsonga did so much better w/out a coach, so he needs to dump this guy and find someone who can refine the game he had prior to his current coach. This guy clearly is not helping!

Agreed..so disappointed in Berdych loss...he was playing so great but was so flat in his match. Fed is just holding on he has been playing well either. None of the top men have been playing well except for Stan and I thought Berdych....Murray sucks and should have lost long time ago...I cant believe he will move back up in the rankings considering what an awful year he has had so far. I hope Dimitrov takes the tournament.

I know Dimitrov was my last hope. I love his game and attitude. I cant stand gulbis..he is a smart a$$...he was mouthing off about Dimitrov after his win and how he was going to be number 1...lol...in what planet...especially with his airplane forehand...lol

With the loss Dimitrov will stay at number 16 in the rankings.

Murray is out!wub.png Murray still moves ahead of Berdych at number 5. Murray has had an awful year and yet he is back up to number 5 after being at 7. He has big points to defend next week and at Wimbledon.

    • Sarah (with the English accent) isn't just some random character.  Sarah was once the housekeeper for Eliot Dorn and Margo Huntington.  One of the following 2 scenarios happened a few months ago: (1):  One night, while Margo wasn't at home, and while Oscar the Doorman wasn't at his post, a burglar sneaked into the private elevator, rode up to the penthouse, stole several thousand dollars worth of Margo's valuable diamonds and pearls, and tied-up Eliot Dorn and Sarah the Housekeeper, ensuring that Eliot and Sarah couldn't pursue the burglar back down to the lobby or phone the police to apprehend the burglar. OR --  (2): Eliot Dorn was SLEEPING with Sarah the Housekeeper, and the two of them conspired to steal Margo's jewelry and went on a lavish spending spree and then tied THEMSELVES up to make it look as though a burglary had occurred in the penthouse. Margo Dorn currently believes Scenario #1 occurred, and she's rather annoyed that the "incompetent police" haven't located her stolen jewels yet.  Eliot and Sarah know that Scenario #2 actually occurred.  When Sarah stopped by the Unicorn and saw Eliot kissing Raven Swift, Sarah snidely said, "Oh! This must be Mrs. Dorn!  Nice to meet you, Mrs. Dorn!" Sarah knew good & damn well Raven isn't "Mrs. Dorn" because Sarah worked for Margo Dorn on a daily basis for many months.  That was Sarah's not-so-subtle way of announcing, "I'll be paying a visit to District Attorney Logan Swift and letting him know that his wife is sleeping with you, and I'll be paying a visit to WMON to let Margo Huntington know that you're sleeping with Mrs. Swift!"  lol.     
    • The AMC hate came from Jamey Giddens/DC and their industry friends, IMO. For whatever reason I always felt they targeted the show, and it was wrong. AMC ratings were decent and even went up under Pratt (Yet, he was fired). The ratings were also good under Broderick and lowered out after her interim.  There was no reason to be upset with the show other than it being slow. They literally played it safe and did the best they could in 2010 and 2011. 
    • I have very detailed synopses of all 1976 storylines for the soaps from the Daytime Serial Newsletter. Please let me know if you are interested in a particular show and I will post it in the appropriate thread. As I stated they are very detailed, so I don't want to clutter up threads if posters are not interested.

    • Surely we (and Billy Flynn) are not going to be saddled with a character named Aristotle Dumas? This isn't 1970's Edge of Night.
    • What annoys me a little bit about the "day players" is they sound a bit too "Brooklyn-ish" sometimes.  Obviously, the show was taped in New York City, and the actors are all New York actors, but Monticello is supposed to be located in Illinois or Ohio.  Occasionally, they grab actors and actresses for small roles who have VERY distinct New York accents, which contrasts sharply with the main cast, none of whom have noticeable accents (except for our dashing European gigolo, Eliot Dorn, of course).  The heavy Brooklyn accent works fine if the character is a bookie, or the owner of a pawn shop, or a guy who's selling stolen guns on the street corner.  But when it's a steadily recurring character -- such as the first Mrs. Goodman, who worked for Miles and Nicole -- it's pretty jarring to me sometimes.  And you'll see it often -- such as an "under-five" character who witnesses a car accident, or a character who witnesses a shooting, or the occasional desk clerk, or waiter.
