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.

    • yes. today Monday's episode started with words displayed "part 1" and ended with "to be continued"
    • I find Missy Reeve's views offensive and I don't want to defend her, but I don't think she ever said anything publicly about Days "gay content".   In fact, I don't think she's ever said anything negative about Days at all.  There's no indication Missy is difficult or unprofessional on set-except for the whole affair thing years ago lol-but that's a whole different topic. I can dislike Missy as a person and still think she's the perfect fit for Jen.  Cady tried and it didn't work for me.  Whenever Missy steps into the role it works.  It's a two things can be true situation.  Missy has some bad opinions, but she's great at playing Jennifer.
    • Doesn't the funeral go into Tuesday 
    • Christian Streaty wrote her second freelance script today on Days. Surprised they gave the first funeral episode to a newbie.  
    • And the third thing, which I have no cite for, and I may look to see if one is findable, but supposedly she said that the show had too much gay content in it. And, to be fair, that could be someone making a criticism about balance & not be bigotry but when it's added to the other, that's why it bugs people.

      The greatest tv series season finale in history.   
    • Mick Savage was sooo unbearable. And more unbearable was the reaction from the female characters to him - they were acting like he is God's gift to women and sooo irresistible. To a point of unbelievable cringe. 
    • Today was a short one. Only 33 minutes.  The ‘Part One’ graphic at the beginning was pretty interesting though. I didn’t expect them to do something like that.  I like how everything was focused around John and his family and friends. Again, the acting and the dialogue was very well done and well written. And I love that they were able to incorporate Drake’s, “swing for the fences” phrase into the script. It was nice seeing everyone interact with each other, especially characters who don’t often share scenes together. It felt like every character was part of a big family or community. Plus, an outdoor funeral in June makes a lot more sense than an outdoor funeral in December.  But yeah, it’s very, very strange that Will isn’t at the funeral, especially since we know that

      I would much rather he had been there today. And, where’s Anna too? And Jack and Jennifer? What was the point of bringing them all back if they weren’t going to attend the funeral? I expected Steve to want to close down BlackPatch, though I’d rather he just retire and let Paul take it over. But I like that Kayla was there to comfort him. I wonder if he’s going to change his mind at some point.  It was nice seeing Shane again too. Now, he just needs to have more scenes with his son lol but I enjoyed seeing him comfort Marlena. I’m not really sure about his interaction with Cat though? Was it really necessary for this to happen now, at John’s funeral? They could’ve waited a little longer to introduce this story arc.  Btw, was Tate bleeding from his head in his first scene with Arianna? 
    • This is the coldest early June in my life. It's like it's January.
