Muguruza had a complete meltdown in that final game. I suppose she only peaks against Williams sisters in championship matches. Still, after the disastrous last couple of seasons, this is a HUGE step up for her.

 

LOL at Bencic now Top 5. She’s defending a Dubai title, so we’ll see how the spring goes. Pliskova and Svitolina must be seething to see all these newcomers lifting Grand Slam trophies while they toil away year after year.

The Djoker!!  Inching closer to Nadal and Federer.  None of these young players are super-quality.  3 old guys are still kicking their ass.  It's going to be a very long time before we see another golden era in Men's tennis once the big 3 retire.

Didn't expect Thiem to be in the finals. I was hoping he'd do well. He did look crushed after loss even more so than last year French final. He had a much harder draw than Novak. I was surprised at the fan support he received over Joker. Joker wasn't pleased as fans were pulling for Thiem. Again Joker whined and complained and yelled at the fans. Joker is a 32 year old baby who'll never get the love Rafael nor Roger get and that's what he wants the most. Only ones pulling for hum were the Serbians at the stadium. The luke warm reception after his win was telling. The best part was earlier in the week on ESPN where the men were covering Joker's match and Joker did his famous heart love to the crowd to which Cliff Drysdale called it a bunch of bull and garbage and pure silence from Brad Gilbert and Co...…..lol. Finally someone in the tennis media called it as it is.

 

There will still be haters for Thiem but at least he's got more class than others.

 

 

And I got very little sleep..lol but it was worth it. 

The ATP Cup is a joke. Those points affected the seedings in Australia and caused Thiem to face Rafa in the QF instead of semis. It was ridiculous to give points to a team event. 

You can have Sascha..lol. I use to be a fan but his attitude has made me a non fan. And its getting close with Tsitsipas too. He acted like a damn fool at the atp cup.

It didn't happen in Australia but I think Thiem will be #3 before Indian Wells starts. His got points to defend and I wonder if he will play in Dubai.

    • I don't think they had any idea who he was this time last year. I think they were keeping their options very open. Same with totally dropping the Trina romance that was spoiled for him in the mags once FV clearly took a shine to him. Frank's priorities are bright and blazing in one color. I do think Gio and Emma seem to have worked out given that she is very dry and sarcastic and he is like a hot golden retriever, but I'd still play the field or explore quads with both with very different people - Emma with a scheming young man (of color), Gio with possibly Trina or someone else, or even a boy. Then maybe put them back together, who knows. But of course none that will happen.

    • He definitely got lost in the shuffle last year. First, they were implying that he was Drew’s son, then he was nothing more than just Violet’s bff

      And then they changed him to being Dante and Brook Lynn’s son, which was clunky at first but I’m enjoying the storyline now. 
    • GM is adorable, charming and fun onscreen despite months of nothing to do until recently, and has a bodacious bod. I'm not cosigning the show or this story - I haven't watched a full episode in over a month - but I think we're all taking the small victories in 2025 at this point. I'm open to testing this theory!
    • I think Jason might've posted some numbers for the syndication a while ago and the numbers for Falcon Crest was horrible. Like 1.5 rating or something, which was terrible.    ETA: it was actually Paul Raven:   New to syndication 60 min Fall Guy 67 markets 3.1/8 Falcon Crest 110 markets 1.1/5 To get into the top 40, you needed a 4.6/9 rating for reference - and Falcon Crest managed to get into a lot of markets to begin with. In the fall of 1985 Dynasty, Dallas and Knots were syndicated (show / rating / share / coverage % / markets): Dallas 3.4 10 51.7 92 Dynasty 3.4 10 48.7 47  Knots Landing 3.3 10 12.5 20  So, Knots as an example trippled Falcon Crest's rating with 20 markets - I'm sure those were major ones but it just goes to show you how much Falcon Crest bombed in syndication. 
    • It's not bad but the stories move too slow. It's the same problem when Dan O'Connor was CO-HW with Van Etten, they have a million stories and they all drag on endlessly with no resolution. I'd argue the majority of the stories airing now are good but you get sick of waiting months for something to happen.
    • Thanks. I must have missed that period entirely for Lifetime. 
    • Thanks. I know Marland did that type of thing sometimes but it's less likely with these characters. I don't even remember Alex ever mentioning him.
