I think it will be a Petra vs Naomi final. The game plan for Pliskova is simple.....you move her around the court...short angel shots and run her side to side. I thought Serena was hitting too much to her strike zone and down the middle at the beginning of the match.

Knew those long matches would eventually catch up to Kei. I still feel like he leaves so much money on the table with his poor serve. His height doesn’t explain all of his issues.

 

I suppose getting some rest isn’t the worst thing for Novak.

 

Pouille is totally the surprise success of the men’s draw. Is it the Mauresmo factor?

Glad Pouille won last night. Never been a Raonic fan and last night proved what a horrible player he really is. The guy is serve only. He looked so slow on the court and can't even volley. He missed so many volleys that it was comical. 

 

Kei.....lawd can this guy just retire now?  From the first point he looked like he was going to fall over. I am so sick of seeing this. He will never win a major because he doesn't have a body for it. He just messes up the tournament for others and then loses due to injury or being fatigued. Kei needs to go....so sick of him. And the fans who paid big money just for it to go a set and a half....I'd ask for a damn refund. 

 

Some one on social media said that Busta threw his hotel TV out the window after he saw Kei retire against Joker...LOLOLOLOL

Ha......poor Dom he is never acknowledged.

 

Speaking of....so disappointed in his Aussie performance this year. He completely ran out of gas. I hope this makes him change his tour schedule and plays less. I didn't think he played a lot a the end of last season but he had a lot of good wins so it seemed he played more. He must still be worn out from last season. I am curious if he will play both clay court tournaments coming up in February.

    • It actually felt like TM-G was a bit softer in her scenes with nu-Ted that kind of matched his meeker energy as Ted on Friday. I was very curious how she’d play off him and now I have my answer.
    • My thoughts exactly! Fantastic find @DRW50!  
    • That was interesting; thanks. Courtney looks tired and/or bored AF, LOL!
    • 5-12   Lord have mercy.   I'm not sure how I feel about it. Perhaps what I said last week or the week before last. If the highlight of a soap is what people are wearing and not the writing, that's not a good thing. And that was how I was feeling watching this. There was not anyone that I was interested in seeing in the episode outside of Daniel and Sally tbh. Because Daniel continues to be the only thing that humanizes Phyllis for me.    I could care less for the Billy/Sally scenes where he's woe is me. I could care less about Kyle/Claire since the writers took all the drama right out of the pairing. Humanized or not, I could care less for Giggly Heffa.    I barely care for Teriah. But for me, it's nice to see something going on with them. Though it seems so horribly contrived.    I liked the costume designer appears to be trying to find individual styles for some of the characters. For me, Tessa's with the boots stood out given her indie musician history. It seems like Claire's style is coming into its own with block colors. I like Kyle's wardrobe is loosening up somewhat. I even loved the striped dress that Phyllis had on.    But again...where is the writing?
    • It was reported that Jane Wyman absence in the final season was due to health (it's documented that Jane was diabetic) but I believe her episodes being cut was a budget mode move. Similar move Dallas pulled in 1990, it was reported that Barbara Bel Geddes retired due to health (it's documented that Barbara had a heart condition) but I say salary dump. Jane Wyman only acted once after Falcon Crest, a 1993 episode of Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman, but she lived another 14 years after that. Barbara Bel Geddes did not act again after her last episode of Dallas in 1990 but she lived another 15 years after that. The trifecta of suck at Lorimar was Les Moonves, Leonard Katzman, and Michael Filerman. It was a pattern across all three CBS primetime soaps in the off the rails plus budget mode era to salary dump the long-time female cast members and bring on sweet young things hired on the cheap. 
    • To be fair, more than half of them are dead now. 
    • Kat may be a privileged elitist but that's not entirely true.  Kat first met Eva when Eva was snooping at Nicole's desk, so Kat's first impression of Eva wasn't very good.  Plus, Kat's instinct to not trust Eva was 100% right.  Kat's attitude toward Eva had nothing to do with Eva not "bowing" down to Kat, and her feelings toward her half-sister is very justified......minus the making fun of Eva's clothes of course. 
    • They said that this has metastasized to his bones, but the type of "aggressive" prostate cancer he has is actually very common and is treatable, or at least manageable. So the headline is misleading.   Apparently this type of cancer is hormonal which makes it somewhat treatable? But still, of course, sad.  Thinking of him and his loved ones.
    • Kat is a spoiled brat princess and Silk Press Sheila called her out on it.  Silk Press Sheila is someone not to mess with. I was actually scared for Kat when she was alone with Silk Press Sheila and recording their conversation.
    • It is funny that Stephanie and Philip still hide/blush/get embarrassed at the sight of each other.  Meanwhile, Kate's pouring coffee for Rafe at the pub as if they're only casual acquaintances.  Although, if Kate blushed every time she saw one of her former lovers, she'd be permanently red.
