I saw that.  You could tell by the way she was acting the last time (well, the last time I saw) her on Twitter.  Someone posted an 'interview', but it was someone just trying to talk to her really.  Chris Evert tweeted it out and said, this is not OK or something.  But in the video someone asked her about where she's been, and at first she said 'can we go inside?' Like she wanted to say something. Then she looked sideways like someone was watching her (because I'm sure they were)...and then, the person who asked the question was standing right there...she said "I can't hear you, I'm sorry?"  It was so obvious that she's been yanked back/put in her place.  Did she appear at the Olympics?  I thought for sure, maybe I missed it, but it would be very much like them to trot her out for a lot of parade opportunities to show how happy she is.

I watched it. Lots of former players were there. My favorite Gabriella Sabitini was there. Nice to see her again. The atmosphere was a typical DelPo match. A full house crowd with no empty seats. I started tearing up when he started crying before the last game played.

Ugh.  Well not much solace but at least the loss was to someone from Argentina.  There's a part of me that still wants him to somehow stay in it and return.  I would love to see him advance a couple of matches at a Slam.  He would get a ton of support.

Tennis is the pits right now. Thank gawd Nadal won the first major.

We have the Greek God, hate the name, losing with a new coach in toe. You know Thomas Enqvist will be blamed for the loss. I really didn't care who won anyways but Enqvist deserves bettrr.

Dallas Open...nice to have a tournament in Texas but damn it's full of serve bots and who wins? FF to Brett Haber going on and on about how great American male tennis is and how Opelka is more than a serve bot and they have the nerve to show some meaningless stats. Can't believe they are still trying to sell this garbage.

On the clay we have Diego vs Casper...Mr. 250 Casper wins another clay court tourney.... Yawn...

But wait Brett Haber and Co. are saying how great he is and how great Rudd is on hard courts. Really?

Where's the receipts? It pisses me off that they pimp this guy when Thiem started almost the same way but refer to him only as a clay specialist. That he couldn't play on hard court. 

Yeah I agree with what Fabio Fogini said...tennis looks bleak with serve bots in existence.

Thiem where or where are you??

    • Well, I am glad to know that & for it to make sense, so thanks for the info &  the perspective, also. At the end of AMC 1.0, I thought the new young talent was really quite good, but I missed Eden & NuBianca just ... well, I wasn't 100% sold on her & Bianca was so important to me. But then, Tad & Dixie were also important & yep, there's another problem, for me I mean. I'm not your typical AMC fan but I hung in there anyway. I know what you mean because it wasn't as good as it once had been but it was still Agnes's show in Pine Valley. Some of that is a bittersweet nostalgic clinging to the past, I guess. By that time I'd been through so many show cancellations. AW, Santa Barbara, PC, The City, GL, ATWT.

          Betsy Snyder, when she was at DAYS was part of the WGA winning writing team before she died, tragically far too young.  
    • Yep Edmund and Tad went under cover to infiltrate the... Willow Lake (I think?) old folks community scandal that was exploiting Phoebe, etc.  (Which at one point led to Edmund rescuing Brooke from quicksand--common around Pine Valley I guess

      ) EDIT maybe I'm wrong.  I found the quicksand scene

      But for the story all I can find is Edmund going undercover as the gigolo "preying" on older women, Eduardo (no one would recognize him with that disguise and name ) so the drag must have been.. a different story?    
    • But then he HATES the original Heather Webber (Cher's half sister played her, right?) and we know what happened when Robin would step into the role a year after this.  He does seem pretty spot on about actors who show promise otherwise.  It's interesting he knocks OLTL early on (though I loved all the recently released episodes from this era we got) but does give a lot of credit to the actress playing Cathy despite earlier complaining about her story.  And over all, while quite negative, his various pros and cons on the shows sounds about right with what I know of the shows at this time. This was a July dated issue of the magazine but and I know they date mags a month or two in advance--obviously when he wrote this he didn't know Lovers and Friends was gonna go off the air (in May I think).
    • You know one of the soap outlets posed that question just last week: Who do you want Trina with Spencer or Kai? And, of course, the picture of Spencer was NAC. I said, well, a lot. I chose Kai. I said that Spencer had been an entitled brat & that some people valued him over her, when I valued her above all others. I guess we'll see.
    • You're right. The only thing I can think of is if GH finally decides to bring back Spencer.
    • Sharon Rose Gabet told me on Facebook that she calls this "Baby Raven".
    • I imagine the storyline would now segue into Laura's accident. But I hope they manage to keep Leslie around though. I really don't want her to be written out, or get the DOOL treatment where she just pops up every so often to cause some short term trouble; the character and the actor were such a find.
