WTF is going on with this Konta match? Serena is getting destroyed. Is she injured?

 

This might be the worst match of Serena’s entire career. She looks near tears. The entire crowd seems shellshocked.

 

Yeah, something’s not right with Serena. Konta didn’t even celebrate because she can’t take pride in that victory.

Of course not and you know Mary Carillo most definitely has a lady boner after that crushing loss.  Queen constantly going thru stuff, and it has to be super tough doing it publicly.  The news blasting the info about her sister's killer?  Even tho he was released in March, seeing it everywhere now is something Queen has to go thru all over again!

WTA was truly a stronger product when it had at least a few events on network broadcast TV in America.

 

Well, maybe after Les Moonves tanks CBS with his ever growing scandals, there might be room for better negotiations to begin to bring some matches back to network TV.  Who knows?

 

In terms of Serena's loss, in her interview, she stated that she tried her best and her opponent played well.  She also said she had too many things on her mind right now to be pressed about this loss.  

 

The press is suddenly shy about bringing up this personal situation likely, after badgering Venus about the tragic car accident last year.

I miss the US Open on CBS. There was more tennis and less fluff talk. Gawd ESPN is just horrible with meaningless chat about nothing instead of showing matches at the majors. Wimbledon was so much better when it was on NBC/HBO.

I don't think any of us here can be disappointed about beIN because we didn't get much of anything from that chitty network in regards to WTA.  That network was more committed to 5 year olds playing baseball than it ever was to WTA, and at times when they could have repeated a match, it was either a very long advertisement of another sport or ATP stuff.  Huge disappointment that WTA wasn't treated better and I hope Simon is out of what's left of the WTA!

    • Speculation about Missy Reeves' potential evolution on basic civil rights doesn’t change my opinion of her. My view is shaped entirely by her public social media presence—which I find unpalatable—and I have no interest in learning more beyond that. I simply liked Jennifer’s hair and dress. That’s as far as my admiration goes.

    • Cheryl was gone before Lemay came back but I agree with your thinking that he would rather a character from a family he introduced to the show than a family he did not originate.  I remember reading somewhere in the early 90's probably after DS left as writer, their was an either a writer or a producer who made a comment that their intent was bring the McKinnon family back to AW.  Would have made sense for the newer viewers from the 80's.  Much like Lemay's attempt to bring the Frames back from his writing in the 70's in his 1988 return
    • DePriest left in January 1988. According to the AWHP, Rose last appeared nearly a year before in February 1987 while both Sara and Peggy appeared as late as October 1987.
    • Annie was not brought in as an antagonist for Reva. Reva wasn’t even on the canvas when Annie first appeared in late 1994. 
    • The speculation……….very entertaining. 
    • I had forgotten that several Days stars came out strong against Melissa. Good for them!
    • That would have made sense. Did all these characters get dropped when DePriest left or had they already been dropped?
    • The other issue with Missy: in June 2020, she "liked" some social media posts by Candace Owens -- things Candace said that were against Black Lives Matter.  That is described here https://tvline.com/news/melissa-reeves-racism-days-of-our-lives-instagram-controversy-2894568/ I don't know if that was ever resolved.
    • She appeared onscreen not long after Rose Livingston and Sara Montaigne, and we found out that Sara was Rose's estranged daughter. I wonder whether Peggy might have been part of that family group -- or else they were just juggling a few different potential mysteries so that they could develop whatever seemed to be getting the best response from the audience. They didn't do anything much with Rose and Sara really either. Maybe Rose would have become more prominent if Rachel and Mac had split up over Mitch, or if Sara had really flourished. In some ways I can picture Cheryl being affected by MJ's prostitution similarly to how Josie was distressed by finding out about Sharlene. But I can also see that Josie as a Frame being involved with Matthew would have different stakes for Rachel and Sharlene than Cheryl being involved with Scott. I do think the solution for Cheryl would have had to be a badder boy than Scott -- either a real bad boy who would do her wrong, or the kind of bad boy (not Chad!!!) who is essentially misunderstood and other people just don't understand. Cheryl would also have been better off with some friends her own age. Matthew and Josie benefited a bit from having other teenagers to interact with.
