Ewwwwww.....I knew CoCo was trashy but come on!

 

ESPN just reported it. Of course Jack Sock did the same thing two years ago when he lost in the first round.

Nishioka just took out Kohlschreiber in a five-setter with a ton of momentum swings apparently. I really like him, and it sucked that he tore his ACL when he was on the verge of really breaking through. Good start to his return, though.

 

Wow, how childish of Coco. I see she's back to her old, entitled ways.

And Jack Sock is gone again...LOLOLOLOL.  He is just horrible. I can't believe he is still in the top 10 with that loss. They were reporting that he had the flu again too....Lawd.....LOL

 

John Isner gone too..LOL....again Justin Gimbelstob was there as his coach

  I thought he was no longer his coach because he was spending too much time away from his family? Does Justin have a thing for John? I had to LOL at Justin's facial expressions during the match...LMAO

 

The Americans as a whole went 2-9 yesterday.

I think I was the only one who was  not surprised by Luksika Kumkhum's straight sets victory over Belinda Bencic. 

In fact, I was expecting it.  Bencic put everything she had into beating Venus, then had little left. 

Kumkhum, on the other hand saw that she wasn't going to face Venus and took one look and Bencic and likely said (in her mind) "I can take this match".

I can't even speak for most of them.  The only realistic prospects that the U.S. women had were Venus, Madison, CoCo and maybe Sloane, with Shelby and Alison only with a good draw having an outside chance at the second week.  So far Madison is really the only one left, I believe.

 

I'm going to exclude Venus, who is 37 and has Sjogren's which is a wildly unpredictable disease. I also wonder if the madness of her previous season has made it a challenge for her to reset herself for this season.

 

The last time Sloane won a match (anywhere), Serena's daughter was still practically in utero.  She also lost the doubles match with Genie Bouchard but they were unlikely to beat Makarova and Vesnina anyway.

 

CoCo went CoCo (see the video posted above).

 

Alison Riske had an actual chance against Kirsten Flipkens. Unfortnately, Riske pulled a Christina McHale, who is usually on the brink of winning before managing to lose.

McHale was a non-factor in her own match, but frankly, I no longer look for great results from her anyway.

    • I feel like the show has been like this for the past 15 or more years, IMO. Things happen but there are never or RARELY any long-term impacts. Instead, everything (characters, history) is just reset to what it was before. In a couple of months, Hope will be working at Forrester again. No one will ever mention the takeover. Brooke and Ridge will be back together for the millionth time, etc etc.  It's hard to get invested in a story when you know this is how the show works.
    • Martin and Smitty's kids not being there seemed like a glaring omission. Also, Naomi and Jacob weren't there as well. I know some of this is probably budget, but it seems like there could be a way to still have them all there.
    • Thanks so much for finding this & posting it. This makes me so angry!!!
    • Dani had a flashback of Dani getting ready for an event with Bill. The gown she wore in the flashback was light green and elegant and gorgeous. The light green flashback dress was quite different than the red/orange/lilac swirling print beaded gown that Dani is wearing to Nicole's anniversary party.   But there was clearly the show's intention to have the Dupree women (except for Nicole) wearing shades of red.   I love Anita but the red gown that she's wearing to the anniversary party -- not flattering.
    • I think you can find them here https://www.tumblr.com/tagged/OLTL What's there is recaps from SOD at the times it shows which is usually from way back up till 2003. Most if not all of this is due to Matt Smith who you may recall from his AW playlists on YoutTube. 
    • Party wardrobe color theme: Good Queen Nicole is in a solid gold gown. The other Dupree women (plus Smitty) are wearing shades of red/pink (with purple accents) -- Anita, Dani, Chelsea, Kat, in dresses. -- Smitty in white shirt and maroon jacket. (did not see Naomi?) "The help" Eva and Mona are in black. Antagonist queen Leslie/Dana in a black/gold gown. The men (except for Smitty) are wearing black. Ted - white shirt, black tie, black jacket. (Ted's jacket was shiny with back polka dots on black background) Vernon - black turtleneck, white dress shirt over it, black jacket (no tie). Andre - black T-shirt, gold chain, black jacket. Martin - black shirt, black tie, black jacket. Dr. Carlton Fitzgerald - white shirt, black tie, black jacket. (did not see Jacob?) I didn't see Naomi and Jacob at the party, but perhaps they arrive later? The evening is not over yet.
    • Tate seems to love throwing punches now

      I enjoyed his scenes with Johnny. Both of their perspectives make perfect sense to me and are completely relatable. There’s no right or wrong person in this situation and I like that. LH  does pretty well when Tate is angry too, but I also liked the way that he comforted Johnny in the end. Days is finally remembering that they’re cousins. And, Johnny looked hot in the beginning   Btw, Johnny going to work for Xander? That could be interesting. And, also can cause some more animosity between him and EJ.  And again, Marlena/Belle were great. Scenes like theirs really seem to be commonplace under Paula/Jeanne and I couldn’t be happier that they are. It’s helps us get a much better understanding of these characters and why they do the things that they do and feel the way that they feel. Marlena supporting Belle was a bit of surprise, considering her insane reaction when she walked in on EJ and Belle, but I also feel that it’s totally in character for her, both as a psychiatrist and as Belle’s mother.  As for Sophia and Amy… I miss the first Sophia lol but I can’t help but think that Amy suddenly being so nice is foreshadowing of something. Either that, or Paula/Jeanne aren’t biased against her
    • @alwaysAMC Great mini-review as always.  That Gilly story is...certainly one I could not forget... I imagine a number of viewers were shocked with the temporary recast. It was revealed in the soap magazines, as was the news about Frank Beaty's breakdown, I think. I think Wolf had some statements or an interview at the time but very little. I wish someone could interview him. He did a good job under extremely tough circumstances.  For some reason I have a vague memory of him in the Marian getup but that's probably not right.  I'm glad you have appreciated the material with Susan after a shaky start. I always enjoyed her, and she was the only love interest I liked Nick with. 
    • How did this come to be?
