Do you remember the incident that happened between that *itch Henin and Serena that year?  I don't remember exactly what happened but something with Henin putting her hand up for Serena to wait, and then Serena waited and either faulted because she tried to stop her serve - it was something like that and then Henin stood there looking stupid...not admitting that she held her hand up and asked for Serena to wait, and then the crowd started whistling and jeering SERENA.  It was so dirty.  I was always a French Open fan but that did it for me and that crowd.  And I'm not even a Serena homer...that was just dirty.

I remember "The Hand" incident. Henin was not above playing dirty to get what she wanted and that was the most vivid example. The crowd shook Serena so badly for questioning the call and Henin's lack of disclosure that she never recovered in the match.  

Some people cite this as the incident that made them dislike Justine.  Funny thing is, for me, I was always suspicious of her. Even before this incident, she had a negative aura where I was concerned. I can't explain it, it was just something about her from the get-go that I didn't care for.

 

 

 

Yeah, that was never a good fit.  TBH, Berdych was treading water for quite some time, even before he and Goran started working together but Goran definitely didn't improve Berdych's game. In today's tennis, if you're not improving, you will fall backward.

 

Speaking of coaching,

 

I read that Agassi is going to continue coaching Djokovic through Wimbledon. Is Agassi still not getting paid?

I think it's a trial basis and he isn't getting paid.

 

Got to say Halep looked good today. She played rather well.   And I always love a Stan match....it is never boring especially with Monfils on the other side.....speaking of....saw his kiss with Gasquet and it didn't compare to Grigor's kisses....LOLOLOL

As, for the Women, I have to be real and sound like a bitter *itch, Venus is gone, Kiki's out...I don't think Caro Garcia is going to win (although that would kind of be nice), even Wozniacki stealing a first (and likely only) major might have made a nice story but with the women left, I don't really give much of a s*hit.

This was Andy Murray(Tattoo) today......

I watched the match live right along with you. It was an early start but worth watching it!  Nobody gave him a chance to beat Novak. I wonder what John McEnroe has to say now? Everyone at TC had Nadal and Novak as the top 2 favorites. Now they aren't giving him a chance against Nadal. Ummm...whatever.....

 

And everyone was already penciling in a Nadal/Joker semi.

 

Novak falls to #3 in the world and if Stan makes the final he leaps over Novak too and Joker drops to #4. IMO I think Stan will beat Murray. I haven't been impressed with Murray at all.

 

Stan looked good against Marin......the look on Marin's face after the loss was priceless....LOL....he was pissed....LOL

It should have been but the draw was staked on the bottom half.

      What kind of work would Johnny do? He looks very inexperienced at everything.

      What consequences are there to suffer? He didnt commit any crime and everyone already hates him. If anything this will set back the progress he's made with Naomi

      Yes and I also loved how she focused on Chelsea and Naomi when she spilled Bill's involvement in all of this.

      OH, I AM.   And it looks like it's a pretty good episode so I might watch later on this weekend after work cuz I see a lot of scenes with people I actually like. Very happy to see Rocco/Danny appear to be getting story, too.

      Edge of Night (EON) (No spoilers please)

      By Soaplovers · Posted

      I do agree that a revival of EON would work, if it doesn't fall into doing all of the typical soap opera tropes... which it became guilty of in the final few years of the show with the over abundance of Raven/Sky at the expense of the actual detectives, police, etc. And I know it was mentioned earlier that Raven had lost any true connections on the show with the death of her on screen mother, and the loss of April/Draper/Deborah.. and I do agree with that. I actually thought the show would have done something with the Shelley character that could have connected her to the Raven character.  There were a few scenes where the two would have scenes and size one another up before they would go their separate ways.. so I assumed perhaps they would have been revealed as half-siblings and/or perhaps cousins.  Alas.. not to be.

      It definitely flowed beautifully. So much that I was annoyed when Vanessa/Doug because I wanted to get back to the party. I know it was intentional to build up tension and suspense. It worked. lol. I'm glad it was there in hingsight because it gave us that great conversation between Doug and Vanessa. Foreshadowing? And yesss!!! This episode was sooo old school soap giving beat after beat after beat leading up to the unveiling of Eva as Ted's daughter. And we still have plenty of fallout/aftereffects to work through.   Speaking of...Bill, Bill, Bill lol. Good to have confirmation HE was the scary lawyer.   I'm sure I will have a busy Monday, but I can't wait for it. I don't know what I'm looking forward to more. Probably Anita vs Silk Press Sheila tbh. And yes, I feel they will be matching each other 'blow for blow.'

      And if they go there, it could also be tied to Johnny completely cutting him off, possibly going to work for Titan, etc.

      @AbcNbc247 maybe it is just that they've gone to that well too often, and I don't like when DAYS goes dark, but I'm OK with EJ abusing drugs, and just skipping the whole sobriety part. Side note: experiencing hallucinations of my son killing me would be enough for me to never want to take a pill again.
