Halep would have been foolish to play New Haven. I know Kvitova has done well there, but I even question her going.

 

They are replaying a classic Vika/Serena match from the USO on TC, and they are talking about how Serena has been disappointed in the past with the lack of crowd support in Flushing. I remember that conversation, how the undeserved hostility Serena has faced at the USO would never happen to native-born players at the other Slams. Can you imagine fans at RG rooting against Mladenovic or Wimbledon crowds celebrating Konta’s double faults?

 

I think sentimental here has certainly shifted in Serena’s favor since the CYGS hunt and her baby (she’s now a national treasure for the most part), but she really had to endure so much at the USO, which is a shame.

Stefanos is currently #15 in the rankings and without doing nothing at all he will vault to #12 after the US Open....imagine if he does well in NY. He is not defending any points from last year while others are.

Yes...I saw that Kok won and he pretty much said that in his post interview with Brett Haber....LOLOL.  He said he was just waiting for Tomic to tank the second set when he got behind in it....LOL

It's nice to see the qualifying and surprised the TC gang is already in NY covering it.

I see Bouchard is trying to be relevant still.....

    • 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.
