Sasha is such a loser. @DramatistDreamer He is already not liked by tennis fans. This won't help at all. The Canadian crowd was for Tsitsipas. 

 

I am liking Sasha less and less by the week. He started turning me off when he fired Ferrero as his coach. 

 

With win Tsitsipas is now #18 in the world.

Zverev said he should have won each set 6-3, 6-3, 6-3. Said he wasn't feeling the ball well and wasn't playing well. Also said Tsitsipas didn't play that well. "I mean, I'm honest with you guys," he said, to qualify it.

Asked Stefanos about Zverev's comment on him not playing well. "I would say I played clever ... I fooled him a bit."  I learned from the match against him in Washington last week.

People may not realize that Stefanos' mother is Russian. 

 

There are some weird 'Alpha Male' dynamics going on between some of the Russian descended male players currently on Tour. 

Didn't Stefanos have some sort of "testy exchange" with Medvedev awhile back?  Then one of of the player's mothers tried to say that both players were actually friends and the families got along?

Tsitsipas! Four straight top 10 wins. He’s now No. 15 in the live rankings.

 

Anderson had some shocking errors when he had opportunities on Tsitsipas’s serve, especially on that break point at 4-3 in the third. But more often Tsitsipas was just clutch.

 

Halep has looked so sharp this tournament.

And Kevin Anderson reaction to his loss.......LOL

 

So glad Tsitsipas won!

I feel like when this Halep/Stephens match is over, they are going to have to peel two gnarled, bloody skeletons off the court. They are brutalizing each other.

 

My word. I thought Halep was toast in that first set, reverting back to her old negativity and perfectionism. But she really pushed through.

    • 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.
