I know you don't like Felix but c'mon, plenty of players lose to Nadal on clay their first time against him. Sure, it's awkward to challenge on Match Point but it's not as if he's the first to have ever done it. He's 18 and he's still developing his game.

Not a fan...he comes off too arrogant for my tastes....TC pimps him yet mentions he has only beaten one top 10 player in Tsitsipas which he is comfortable playing...he hasn't even won a damn tournament for God's sake....

 

And NO to Ferrer making the hall of fame....although the standards into getting in have gone to hell.

We'll have to disagree about Felix.  You're the first and only person that I've ever heard say that.  I don't watch TC nor do I care what they do.  People are taking an interest in Felix and TC is obviously grabbing onto that for ratings.  FAA is in the Top 30 and currently the youngest player in the Top 100--there's no way tennis media is just going to ignore this kid, especially when the sport is hungry for stories.

 

Ferrer is not making the HOF when he's never won a slam title.  If TC is pushing that then they're spreading conspiracy theories.

FAA has a great game for an 18 year old.  Very impressive on court and I was going to not go in today so that I could see that match.  Glad I didn't, but there will be more FAA to come.  I look forward to it.  

 

Felix wouldn't be the first black male with confidence accused of being arrogant.  Oh well

      Kristian Alfonso was a popular daytime star from a show popular with a younger audience that was brought on to an aging primetime soap with the expectation that their huge daytime following would carry over. I don't think she has spoken much about her time on Falcon Crest despite being the show's new pet that became front-burner lead right away. I also don't believe she was hired on the cheap given her daytime popularity and following.  Notice how most of the former daytime actors and actresses that were on the CBS primetime soaps were from ABC or NBC. CBS had so much of their own daytime talent they could have used on their primetime soaps but for whatever reason that didn't happen and I think demographics played a part in that (CBS daytime skewing older than ABC/NBC).
    • Has anyone read Sharon Gabet's memoir? Is it worth reading?
    • Would that ad even appeal to people who watched Falcon Crest at any point? By that point, did anyone really care about the show? I remember people loathing the last season and especially hating Alfonso's character.
    • Thanks @kalbir

    • True enough, and Tony and Annabelle suffer the same problem. And the people Quint and Nola had interacted with were gone--Kelly, Morgan, Helena, Mrs Renfield---even Van's been transplanted to the Lewis enclave. Nola's curiosity could've been used somehow, but after Reva's arrival it seems like Long is obsessed with selling that woman to the audience.  As originally written--no, the Chamberlains weren't stockholders anymore. At least not to my understanding. But any story where Quint and Vanessa teamed up, realizing that Alex had played them, and found some loophole to get back in to restore Henry's legacy would've been welcome. As much as I like India--Spaulding gets weird in '85 with Alex, Phillip, India and Warren fighting amongst themselves.
