Of course I was rooting for Federer but now I'll be rooting for Kei - I want to see history. On the women's side, I'm happy to see Caroline back in the finals. I'll be rooting for her to win so she can complete the comeback and win her first grandslam. I felt so bad for Peng - she was in so much pain and had to be rolled out in a wheelchair. I loved how McEnroe and Mary Carillo were just blasting the organizers during that debacle.

YAS! Ew, no Queen Serena til the end.

Fed played so sloppy and was basically outplayed by Cilic. I can't even be mad at that. Well, there's always another slam around the corner for him to reach 18.

Caroline played such meh tennis that it should be rather easy for Serena to mow her down if she doesn't start off sluggish like she did last time. I was SO happy Djoker lost and I am having such fun watching Kei and Michael Chang in the audience.

Oh most definitely agreed. I like upsets as much as the next person. When I see you playing horribly, or the other person attacking out the gate and never giving up. I feel their fire and really root for them. I just don't really see that happening with her, ya know?

P.S. A little OT but have you seen A - Z yet Toups?

One awful final on Monday that no one will watch..what horrible ratings the telecast will get....poor Roger everyone was pulling for him in the stadium...even the clapping and no clapping on what Cilic did..LMAO......I hope K wins ..he deserves it after all the great players he defeated. Cilic just sucks big time. I dont think anyone wants to see him win it.

You know you wrong for that Toups.... you know you wrong! LMAO the ump too. That was an insane match and I had so much second-hand embarrassment it wasn't even funny. I would like to think she's matured more than that moment because it wasn't a good look and people let her know. I get the anger but man... no.

Lawwwwwd! No one could have convinced me this morning that both Fed and Djoker would be upset today! I'm still recovering :(.

Nadal out and these guys forget how to play...

Kei is not too much of a shocker because this guy has serious game. He survived Milos' serve in 5 sets and 5 sets against Stan. This was bound to happen sooner or later. Djoker usually bounces back but Kei, unlike Milos, has a complete game and it's a really good game. Quite excellent, actually. Today was no fluke. Remember he schooled Nadal on clay until an injury a few months ago.

Cilic? This upset crushed me because outside of that hideous outfit Fed wore, his game was atrocious! He's faced bigger serves and better all around games yet his hands were tied behind his back! Just awful :( Not getting #18 from him. Serena, no bullish!t tomorrow. The last 2 matches reminded everyone why you should be feared! I NEED #18

Congrats Martina Navratilova on your engagement :)

Toups, stops being hateful. Bougie had absolutely no shot at keeping that trophy on North American soil!

Ratings for the men's final are going to be forgettable. If CBS could end this contract one day early, I'm sure they would.

Woah, don't get me wrong, I don't hate Serena. I love watching her play. I was just poking fun at her, thinking of ways she can lose. LOL That meltdown was so infamous it even made the highlights package of the past 47 years of CBS' coverage.

I knew K could beat Novak. I was hoping he would. I havent forgiven Novak for losing to worthless Murray in the US Open Finals and Wimbledon. K sure is for real. Anyone who can beat or even challenge Nadal on clay is a winner in my book. I really hope he wins. He deserves it.

Cilic...ugh...cant stand him or his ass game...sucks.....I cant believe the guys in his draw could not beat this awful player.

I saw MN proposal on the Tennis Channel....happy for her

Oh forget...yes the great Milos...where is he??? LMAO....picking up the pieces after losing to K....LOL.....it takes more than just a serve to win a major and be a true champion...K does have it all...good forehand...good backhand...serve.....he doesnt rely on only part of his game...I am so sick of seeing male tennis players slide all the way to the left to hit a forehand...is it illegal now to hit backhands??

The ratings for Serena's match tomorrow will be good because of history.....as for men's final...yikes...I expect a very very low rating...maybe a 1.0 rating..in all truth....

Someone commented on Twitter what great ending CBS did with the ending credits....I was like they do that the last day of tournament but they know no one will be watching on Monday...LOL ...so they did it earlier

Actually, she was there, calling the line, in Serena's SF vs. Makarova. And yes, Serena did get called for a foot fault but it didn't seem to affect Serena at all, she just kept it moving.tongue.png

Yes, I am glad for Kei, hoping for a Fed/Nishikori final but Fed, honestly was fortunate to get past Monfils. Had Monfils had Cilic's focus, it's doubtful that Fed would've gotten to the SF.

    • Eddie has begun uploading the 1990 episodes. I'm so happy about that. I was mindfully taking a break till there's plenty of episodes I can binge watch when I feel like it. Now that 1989 is complete... I can't wait to press play on February 1989 and resume where I left off.

      Me when someone asks me to be proper and demure. 
    • This is just a guess but I feel like the fact that they keep mentioning her dead husband is for a reason. We know Martin has a secret that likely involved someone dying. Martin's victim could be Alan which Leslie/Dana either knows about or finds out and she uses that to blackmail the family into letting her crimes slide.  
    • Just thinking how the Ruth/Leticia guest spot really cemented how Days had changed. Stunt casting with a campy/comedy character in a 'wacky' storyline was something that a few years previously would have been completely out of place on Days (and most other soaps for that matter).
    • I am interested to see how they handle Leslie/Dana down the road. If she continues in this path, it would be unrealistic to have her around. Like other shows have done this with a 'villian' character and ended up with people looking stupid putting up with someone they detest. Another thought-could they be building up to a murder story? Maybe Les/Dan will be left in a coma and we will have a whodunit with several characters as suspect. It would also be a chance to redeem her I wonder how long the show will go w/o resorting to soap cliche stories-twins,switched at birth, murder mystery, long lost child etc
    • Yeah, Martin really did make me laugh when him and Smitty jumped up to drag Leslie out. I am interested in seeing how this fallout will impact his storyline as well. Especially since he is so protective regarding his family/family's image. I am interested in seeing how he will interact with Eva for the time being, they did have a warmer interaction earlier on once they met. But he seems to have doubts about her possibly being Ted's right now. I wonder how long it might take for him to come around with her. I could see the younger generation warming up to her quicker than the older ones. Though of course I think there will be anger/tension for a while regarding the reveal and her role in it. Perhaps Naomi/Chelsea will ease up on Eva first then eventually Martin/Kat might down the line. I really do love Nicole. I'm glad that DD is playing her. She really is the heart of the family and also agree the show. She is so easy to root for and I'm looking forward to seeing how things work out for her. I am enjoying the development of most of the characters on this show. I enjoy most of them including Bill with his trifling self lol. I do feel that Bill's love for his daughters is genuine and that gives him some depth. A few of the characters I don't care for that much (like Bill, Ashley, Vanessa). I wasn't too big on Andre at first, but I am warming up more to him as the actor is settling into the role. I like most of the characters on this show. Also, I am interested in seeing what happens if Eva indeed goes and lives with the new doctor that was introduced. I could see this adding another layer to her story, maybe she will become more vixen-ish, on what type of relationship they end up having. And/or maybe she will end up becoming more hardened as she deals with being an outcast, especially if she falls out with Leslie as well. I think that AM will do a good job of showcasing the different layers of this character as she deals with the fallout of the affair/paternity reveal.

      Got another sad news from the Bahamian community (not a celebrity)  https://www.instagram.com/p/DJMSrYCgyes/?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ== Former Bahamian Senate President J Henry Bostwick, Husband of former 1st Bahamian Female Cabinet Minister Dame Janet Bostwick is dead yesterday on his 86th birthday.    Thanks and for those who've aren't familiar with the talk shows in The Bahamas on this thread here, his talk show named The Freedom March with Dr Rodney Moncur that airs on ILTV and The Beat 103.5 FM Nassau every weekday afternoons. IIRC, he suffered a illness before he died.  Here's the link for his final taping of the show before his death: https://ewnews.com/this-is-powerful-rodney-moncurs-final-sign-off/
    • (video, sound up) https://www.instagram.com/p/DIopBYDOGwy/ April 19, 2025 theonlydaphneeduplaix I’m not a fan of running. I’m not a fan of biking. So instead, I do what I love to get me revved up!!! . What that 20 minute warm up always looks like for me. What do you love that gets your body moving? LET’S GO!!!!!!! #DanceItOut #NoExcuses #FitOverFourty #TakeYourBodyBack #FindWhatGetsYouMoving     .           .
    • One thing I thought about is if Hayley will have a reaction to Bill threatening to kidnap and sell a baby. That's another level of viciousness and with her just having thought she was pregnant it might make her feel some type of way.
