It's obvious Joker is only interested in majors now. His play in the other tournaments this year speaks volumes.

 

The Miami tournament has been a complete and utter bust. 

I kind of agree with Chris Everett when she said that the tournament had no heart.

 

I don't know where the big crowds are...the ones they say are there. The main court has been empty all tournament long minus a Roger match.....its pitiful.

This whole tournament has been a snooze fest. There hasn't been one great match....maybe Shapo vs Tsitsipas......

 

And in the semis its going to be Isner vs FAA......zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

 

Roger vs boring Kevin no ratings Anderson......zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

 

Tiafoe vs Shapo........zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

 

Horrendous......

To me, the up and comers salvaged this tourney.  My expectations for Serena are dwindling but it's ok because she's given the sport everything.  American tennis can't ride her coattails forever.  

Fed is still interesting but not really exciting unless he's playing another elite. 

But FAA is playing remarkable tennis right now!  He and Andreescu are about to make Canada proud. Raonic and Bouchard who?

It's sad that Canadian tennis has overtaken American.  ESPN and Tennis Channel all giddy about it instead of being pissed off is mind boggling. 

 

It's going to be a Fed vs FAA final....

 

Raonic is injured again. He has always been all serve...the guy can't even move on court.....Bouchard just wants to looks beautiful on court.....her early rise was just a flash in the pan.....

 

Coric is sure fuking it up against FAA

 

I still want to see FAA play 3 out 5 set matches...he cramped the last time in NY against Shapo......he still hasn't beaten anyone of significance .....Tsitsipas doesn't count since they played in the juniors...

 

 

And center court in Miami is trash!

I'll say it again....this tournament sucked!  Isner in the finals.....awful...all his sets have been tie breakers but one. I was hoping Isner would lose a lot of points in Miami.....

 

No crowds....awful winners and terrible center court equals massive failure.

FAA played like [!@#$%^&*] against Isner. Maybe it was the 8 matches that got him. I'm sure the tennis media will still pimp him since they got what they wanted with Isner winning. I still say FAA is overrated. He couldn't even beat John Isner.

Really excited about those Canadian teens!

 They might even make me pay attention to non Grand Slam tournaments.  

 

 

I’m still a bit sad about Genie Bouchard. She had it all for about a year but could never get back to that level.   She was a marketer’s dream but she just couldn’t win matches.

    • 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 its final season, 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.
    • Great thought.  I mostly forgot about Kate's cancer.
    • I figured because Kate received her cancer treatment at the hospital that she decided to “give back” by being on the board.
    • Someone posted years ago that they remember Pamela Peters (Peggy) was having some sort of issues behind the scenes during the rape storyline and barely participated onscreen when it played out. Trish Stewart (Chris) seemed to carry most of the storyline along with Dick DeCoit (Ron) and David Hasselhoff (Snapper). I think the poster also mentioned that Anthony Hererra (Jack) said that Pamela Peters one day looked into the camera and exclaimed she didn't know what she was doing and walked out of the scene.
