Rennae Stubbs is coaching Serena for the USO.  I don't care if Queen doesn't make it out of R1, I love this!  

She instructed Serena to not practice with hitting partners.  Instead, practice complete matches with actual players.

Thanks. I caught a glimpse of Whitney Osuigwe and Hailey Baptiste having a practice set.

There was a time when the US Oen used to stream all matches until ESPN found out and swallowed streaming rights. Why can’t the US Open website be allowed to stream qualies? Is there an actual benefit to shoving qualies onto ESPN News, a channel that many people don’t have?

I have never paid a lot of attention to the qualifying matches other than seeing what the results are afterward.  But - I tuned in to ESPN news and saw the matches are (supposed to be on?)??  I thought we were between matches or sets or something, and I pull it up on my laptop or phone and see....nope, matches are going on.  Currently being played.  But we have a panel of Chrissy, Alexandra Stevenson (don't get me started), and all the usuals....sitting around TALKING about the qualifying matches and the US Open draw, etc. etc.  WHILE MATCHES are GOING ON??? Guys, like....why don't you just throw up the match or matches goin on on the screen, and yammer away with whatever you want.  But at least throw it up on the screen???  What the hell?  Nope....just people chatting.  While the matches are going on.  ??? LOLLLL How useless.

    • Hooray we made the exact same critique to Londonscribe!!!!!
    • 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.
