Didn't I once mention how injury-prone she was/is?  I also mentioned that I believed it would impact her character as she ages, as she is still only a teenager. She's having physical problems that I would associate with players who have been in the grind of the Tour for a much longer period of years. It reminds me of Ana Konjuh unfortunately.

Next Thursday is the ATP cup. 

 

Serena will be playing doubles with Carolyn in pre warm up tournament before Australia. 

 

Kim will make her return in March. I am assuming at IW.

Tennis Channel’s linear audience grew 33 percent in 2019, one of the few channels, broadcast or cable, to show any growth at all. A tiny audience, certainly, but notable. Maybe the return of WTA play brought back lapsed viewers?

From what I've read, there's been a stampede of withdrawals from the tournament.  I know it's something of an exhibition now but still, not good.  I think I preferred it when it was a $125K WTA tournament, at least then, the WTA site provided free streaming and kept it cute. 

This year, The Hawaiian Open pretty much seems like an indoor Challenger tournament.  The one match I managed to see did bring a smile to my face though, to see MAGA-ite Christian Harrison gets his butt beat by Brandon Shinakawa, who literally just left college and whose only previous experience was in a few summertime Challenger tournaments.

    • Anything, but this non-story.  Who cares if Stephanie publishes her Danielle Steel novel or not?  Maybe Joy will be back sooner or later with the baby. Last Chance Sale at Nordstrom rack.  I bet JJ has one too. Yeah.  For some reason I thought they shuttered the whole Publishing department after that.
    • Quote from the May 14, 2025 AP article on BTG: https://apnews.com/article/beyond-gates-renewal-d7369f7a60a0a992483294acb950ef6d Charlene Polite Corley, Nielsen’s vice president of diverse insights and partnerships, says 52% of the total audience is Black. “It’s bringing folks along for this really unique story being told in a lot of ways for the first time. And so, yes, the Black audience is leading here, but there’s a whole lot of other kinds of folks who are tuning in, too,” she said.
    • I'd appreciate it if you wouldn't put words in my mouth. I never said he shouldn't have been upset about it. He knew before the wedding and went through with it anyway. She offered to split up with him. He decided to stay. Then he treated her dirt, even after she had just lost her baby. If he couldn't deal with it, he should have left her. (Or, SHE should have thrown him out. The story made no sense.)
    • I wish the triangle with Philip was still going on with them. Maybe Days got a good deal

    • The only way I saw successful playlists for DAYS uploaded to youtube was maybe 10 years ago  .... The uploader had code names for each playlist by obscure nicknames for each character, without mentioning DAYS or the actual character names in the description.  You'd have to be an expert on the show's history to know the obscure nicknames for each character - something mentioned in the show's dialogue once years before. Importantly, commenters were asked to not mention the name of the show or the characters or the actors in their comments, or their comments would be deleted, which meant that the channel owners had to check it daily to delete such comments. AND the videos were all unlisted, so you'd know about it only from word-of-mouth, but were asked not to post about it anywhere. This was many years ago and I enjoyed watching those as they were up for several months. However some unaffiliated fools would create their own playlists on their own personal youtubes, linking to the unlisted videos and labeling their personal playlists with real show name and character names... so of course Sony caught it eventually and it was all lost.

    • I bet they update the opening credits to switch out MJ and Keith
    • I honestly felt like Gabi/Alex had a deeper conversation on their short date than Stephanie and Alex have had in their entire relationship.   Didn't Alex try to reboot Titan Publishing with Theresa, and it flopped?   So Sophia and Rachel have the same birthday?  Lol.  It was strange Tate got sick at the party and I have no clue what Sophia's about.  I really don't think she's scheming, but I do think she'll ending wanting to keep the baby. The Kevin stuff is a bit silly.  He needed Phillip to tell him to just make one dose and bring the rest back?  He doesn't have time to do that before the Dr. comes back to the lab?  Kevin's right outside lol. Nice Kayla/Marlena scenes.  I really hope they don't drag finding John out much longer. She said closing in.  Deidre was sobbing so hard I had to check the closed captioning
    • Literally the same exact jacket from the same designer, Steve in black and ShawnD in brown. I posted a bunch of May 14 and May 15 episode photos on page 2 of the May spoiler thread, including the matching jackets and the designer.
    • Some people will never learn not to mess with Sony/Cordy lol Someone uploaded Days 1984-85 on YouTube with the full name and air date and they wonder why their channel will be banned and the videos lol As much as I love seeing it. We should stop uploading them directly on to dailymotion or Youtube. Such a waste of time
