Fed fans are already saying Roger will get his revenge.

 

Tennis fans were upset that the Thiem vs Fognini match wasn't shown on TC. They were trashing Osaka being shown and Novak since Chardy was no competition for him.

From what I heard, the Osaka/Bencic match was a highly competitive 3 set battle.  Why wouldn't that be shown on the main network?  Because it's a women's match?  Tennis fans can really be sickening sometimes.  The sexism and racism inherent to this sport never ceases to amaze me.

 

On other topics involving actual players, not numbty dumpty fans.

Sascha was rather nasty towards his opponent. 

 

Sascha: What r u looking at? I've been ready...why r u taking so long to serve the ball...

 

I thought he was going to lose. He would've dropped to #5 in the world had he lost. I am hoping Thiem can get the #4 seed in Paris.

I sure was. That was one hell of a tie-breaker!

Ha.....I noticed that Roger started looking tired right before Thiem got the first break in the 3rd set. Some of the shots Thiem hit towards the end were just ridiculous....especially the passing shot that won him the second break in the 3rd set. Thiem said in his post inteview with TC that he was very nervous at the start of the match. You could tell because he was spraying balls everywhere. Thiem knew he was the favorite and it put more pressure on him than at Indian Wells. Brad Gilbert called it a standing ovation match. 

I hope so!  I also think Thiem can win the US Open with it playing at medium pace. He should've beaten Rafa last year in the QFs to get to the semis. 

 

After the Thiem match.....I am totally exhausted....yet still more tennis to watch....LOL

 

Oh and yes Thiem unfortunately is still with Kiki. She lost early in Madrid and wasn't in Thiem's box. I am assuming she left already for Italy and the Italian Open.

Nacho the umpire for that match is awful. He did the same thing during a Thiem match....LOL. Thiem got warned for slow play???....laughable.

      Falcon Crest

      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.

      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.
