Serena says she will be returning in 2018.

 

Andy's upset earlier this morning made me

Novak should have lost again. I had to LOL at TC comments on his playing and how some of his shots were WTF moments....hahahahaha.....I am thinking Goffin will beat him tomorrow....I was hoping for a Thiem win but oh well....

 

I knew Cuevas was going to beat Stan.

Stan has to be motivated and probably didn't give a damn...LOL.  Cuevas has been playing good ball lately and he is a dirt baller. He can be out there all day if necessary that's why I picked him to win over Stan.  Stan won Monte Carlo back in 2014...his only 1000 masters win.

And he's won Monte Carlo already. I think his next prize is Wimbledon. I am sure he will be motivated for that one. The only major he hasn't won.

 

 

Speaking of motivation....it sure looks like Novak is totally out there just to be there. His game is all over the place and seems not to care anymore. He should retire if he doesn't want to be out there anymore.

Some of Novak's fans are out of control on social media, seizing on other players to verbally attack. Why not take the high road??

 

Ilie Nastase is getting dragged for his disgusting behavior at the draw ceremony for Fed Cup (Romania vs. Great Britain) even hitting on a pregnant Anne Keothavong (GB's coach) and making coarse remarks about Serena's unborn child.  

He's been doing this kind of thing for decades, from what I've read...why is he still allowed to persist?!

They get all over Kyrgios but they can't get a hold of Nastase???

Yeah, I heard quite some time ago that baby #2 is on the way.  

A few #Nolefam were basically saying "Who cares whether or not Serena comes back?" trying to attach their remarks to some remarks that Vesnina and another player made about how at 35, Serena couldn't be at the top forever. Vesnina joked (supposedly) that she wished Serena would stay in long enough for Vesnina to beat her (keep dreaming, girl). These sourpuss fans took their remarks and ran with it- to state that nobody cared if Serena returned or not.

Some fans responded that, well, ticket buyers and many fans care since Serena often fills stadiums and sell lots of tickets.

 

I get that these fans are in a foul mood- it never feels good when your fave loses, and to boot, the crowd seemed to be with Goffin more- but what does Serena have to do with any of it? Why throw her in the mix? These folks sound so bitter and ridiculous.

Ha...the few fans Nole has are awful. I see them popping up on social media. Without Serena women's tennis is going to suffer. I hope Venus can take Wimbledon and the US Open this year. Vesnina sucks...her winning IW was a fluke. She hasn't done squat since....losing in the first round....LOLOL. I wish someone would tell her to shut with those noises she makes when hitting the ball. Even Tennis Channel has made fun of those noises she makes.

 

As for Nole...he is playing/acting like when he was ranked #3 in the world. Losing matches and out of breath....LOL

    • Dante STFU!! Gawd this Gio hate is so forced. Dante blame your idiot son! He's responsible for landing in the hospital.
    • I think Steve and Chase (with Adair) are dropped fairly quickly into John Whitsell's run as EP. I didn't think Tomlin wanted those characters out especially given how much effort was put into resetting Chase, a character Tomlin didn't create, and Adair by placing them at the paper, testing Adair with Ryder, and then having Chase discover Estelle was alive. Steve got an actual onscreen goodbye, but Chase and Adair later go an offscreen exit to San Francisco or somewhere else in California.  They chem tested Steve Kendall and Suzi in September, 1983, just as Elizabeth Swankhammer started as Suzi. Steve saved Suzi drowning in a lake on location. I felt that Suzi / Steve was meant to be the post-Suzi/Warren story with Stephanie possibly manipulating Suzi and Warren to keep both Warren / Wendy and Steve / Suzi apart. I assumed the plan was (at some point) Stephanie / Lloyd. Or it should have been.  I don't think Bela should have lasted beyond the circus story. If I had to sit through some sort of triangle, I would want to see it end with Bela dead. Even in a bad recycled plot, but ultimately I don't think Bela had any real story potential and should never have been paired with either woman. Under Mayer/Braxton, Sarah became more conservative and judgemental over the course of the last month or so of their run. I don't think Tomlin's version was as layered from what I remember.  @DRW50 I think Conroy lasted a full year June, 1984 - July, 1985. I always assumed he left, but that was just speculation. Phillip Brown's Steve just seems to have disappeared.     
    •   Vanessa is bordering on nasty ho territory. Normally I agree with you @Soapsuds but not on this. Dani opened up to Andre about her insecurities since the end of her marriage, and Andre listened and supported her. Their booty call hook ups are so turning into love.
    • 5-13   Hmmm. That was a little bit better.   I admit that it did appear that Damian and Lily are dancing around each other. I don't mind it tooo much because I like them together. But there is only so many times they can have issues around trust. But at least he decided he might be willing to work with her against Dumas.   I actually enjoyed Giggly Heffa/Billy/Sally. This time at least. I would have liked to see Phyllis continue to be introspective and form an obsessive bond to Sharon...which was where their storyline appeared to be going...because it felt like it was going to lead to something new. So sad that does not seem to be the case. That said...Phyllis scheming is something I can get behind and MS does give good scheme face. Bonus that it will move the Dumas storyline right along by her taking things into her own hands.    Phyllis...and Victor? Well...hmmm. I have to giggle at these Summer mentions.  I agree that Damian definitely has his own style. For the most part, I love it because it does help him stand out. Though he appears to be going through an all brown phase that has been kinda hit or miss. I preferred when he came on, and his style was mixed up a little bit.    When I think of Holden's style...he definitely looks L. A. or a big city. And I also think metrosexual off his clothes and general vibe. Which at least I feel suits him and is still very much different from Damian.   Thank you! Yes. It really has been very plain when it comes to the men's wardrobe over the years. So it is part of the reason the changes are standing out so much more with them. Now she needs to do the same with the women. I love leather is being tried...because Goth...but I feel it works perfectly with some characters' styles over others where I see it and think it's just there to be there or a lame attempt to be edgy.  
    • @VelekaCarruthers thank you, but was not Katherine who had feelings for her friend Joann because she missed her deceased husband and felt lonely and tried to kiss her and Joann ended their friendship? I have not seen anything on You Tube and I don't know if the kiss was aired or not. I still have to consider the kiss between Bianca and Lena on AMC in 2003 as the first lesbian one on US soaps.

      @dc11786 thank you for the detail about Azure and Bernardo's sex scene which I ignored - or, better said, I know Azure comes out to Bernardo right after having sex when he want to know the true after reading the scoop by Jared Chase, but I didn't know their first time was showed on TV. Now I really want to see this episode. I'm reading on Wiki that Another Life went on air on Christian Broadcasting Network and maybe that is the reason for which Tony was an unseen character as Stanley Walker in Will & Grace. @j swift thank you too for the answer. Very helpful. ✌ It seems this storyline was a mess and very bad. What a shame and missed big opportunity.    
    • I don't care.  I feel that murderers and rapists shouldn't be romantic leads.
    • https://variety.com/2025/tv/news/7th-heaven-reboot-cbs-studios-jessica-biel-1236401017/ Sources say that the new show would focus on a diverse family, and that none of the original cast members would appear.  Anthony Sparks will serve as executive producer and showrunner on the reboot.  Jessica Biel, who starred in the original series, is executive producing under her Iron Ocean banner along with Michelle Purple.  DeVon Franklin will executive produce via Franklin Entertainment and his overall deal with CBS Studios. Sparks was previously the showrunner on the critically-acclaimed OWN series “Queen Sugar.” He also worked as an executive producer on “Bel-Air” at Peacock and the Mike Tyson biographical series “Mike” at Hulu. His other TV writing credits include “The Blacklist” and “The District.” Franklin is best known for producing faith based films like “Miracles from Heaven” and “Heaven Is for Real.” He previously held positions at Will Smith’s Overbrook Entertainment as well as MGM and Sony’s Colombia Pictures. In his time as a studio exec, he worked with Smith on films like “The Pursuit of Happyness,” “Hancock,” and “Seven Pounds.” His other credits include the animated Biblical film “The Star” as well as “Flamin’ Hot” and the BET+ original series “Kingdom Business.”
    • I think both of them have been given balanced, nuanced, and honest writing about who they both are, flaws and all, for months now. It's not so basic or black and white.
    • Grant Aleksander talks a bit about Capitol 50 minutes into this interview. He says he did the show because he was under a hold due a pilot he made for Aaron Spelling and only had limited choices in what he could do. John Conboy agreed to hire him at Capitol for six months but told him he would only really have two sets - a pool and a bed.
