I don't want Cilic.  I think he's a hothead.  Strangely I didn't like Roger years ago.  Now, He's old guard.  It's kind of like - I would always root for Martina or Chris over anyone younger.  Even when the torch should be passed - nah.  I want my girls.

Cilic only gets hot on occasion. Makes me wonder if he is doping again? I don't care for his game but Roger better be ready because Cilic will be ready on Sunday. Roger didn't look that great against Berdych today.

I saw most of the first set and thought Venus was playing well but DVR the rest. What happened to her in the 2nd set? This was her best chance to win a major. One writer pretty much said she isn't winning another major. I tend to agree. She should retire this year after the US Open. I mean what a way to go with two final appearances at majors. Venus just can't win 7 matches anymore. It is too much for her.

Roger better be ready? He was the 7-time Wimbledon champ and 18 grand slams total, and he hasn't lost a set.  Now make that the 8-time Wimbledon champ and 19 grand slams overall and didn't lose a set all tournament.  Of course he was ready. 😄  Roger is still playing great tennis at such an old age.

Lawd Cilic was a blubbering hot mess!

He had a total meltdown! I thought I was watching Mardy Fish.

 

I really wonder if Murray will play the US Open. ESPN is pretty much saying Joker is out at the US Open. With the win Roger is at #3 with Nadal at #2 with Joker at #4 and Stan at #5 with all those points to defend at the US Open.

 

Should be an interesting summer hard court season and US Open.

And can we stop with the big four already??

 

Roger 19

Rafa 15

Joker 12

 

 

Murray...a measly 3 with 2 being Wimbledon and lots of help from the tourney and the fans. Heck Stan has won 3 and lacks just 1 while Murray still lacks 2.

I'm not going to entertain talk about Venus' alleged impending retirement. Nobody knows sh*t.  As she said years ago, people have been trying to retire her for years!

 

People predicted she'd retire after she was diagnosed with Sjogren's in 2011 after she'd been playing with it since 2006!

People also suggested that Roger retire years ago and even last year, after knee surgery, people predicted he was done.

Yet, here he stands with two Majors.

Folks, it's a personal choice and really nobody's business.  If you don't want to watch tune out. There are several players that I know I don't watch. No big deal.

    • Yes and I also loved how she focused on Chelsea and Naomi when she spilled Bill's involvement in all of this.
    • Danny: Don't drink it. Just hold it. Rocco drinks three laced cups.

    • 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. 
    • 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.

    • Part of the reason that Courtney worked at OLTL was because the show had an actual character for her to play.  One that was somewhat different than her character on AW, and after the way she was treated over at AW.. it had to have been nice to be courted onto a new soap that actually valued your contributions.  
    • I figured the "long" was already implied
