Wow. What a final game.  6 match points and over 14 minutes long.  Congrats to Serena for an incredible career.  She’s just the greatest of all time.  We won’t see someone as great as she is for a very long time - it’s going to be decades.

With that said, oh man she should’ve won this match. It was right there for her.  Kudos to Ajla for coming back in the first set and again the second set to tie it up.

Shapovalov I’ve never been able to figure out why he didn’t make a small step to just regular appearances in Semis and even finals once in a while. Not able to talk yourself off the ledge, staying in every moment 100%? He seems to have the goods. I do have to say - I guess I’ve been somewhat blind because Kyrgios is so unlikeable to me - but the Medvedev match I finally feel like we were given a clue as to how good Kyrgios can be. Honestly and truly I kind of never watched totally because I can’t stand his jawing and antics. I don’t want him to win but I feel like we were finally shown some semblance of a match where he “heldittogethergirl” moment. That’s what I call them with friends lolll. The holdittogethergirl moments in sports.

And I’m tired of hearing about the roof closing. WTF US Open?!  You get rid of the planes - so what…you have to toss this in for disruption because……….what? This is the 4th time I’ve seen this. Just start the match with it closed if there is any chance of rain or pause the match until it’s closed. Why is this difficult???

    • 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)
    • 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.
    • French fan summary Rusty took over Simon's job at Lewis Trucking after Simon transferred to Lewis Oil's North Carolina office to live near Jessie and Calla. I doubt they would bother following up a story for offscreen characters eg marriage and a baby.
    • I suspected that the performance with the reveal was the reason why the Ted actor got the axe and it looks like I was right. He wasn't really good at conveying what needed to be conveyed in those scenes. Claybon is at least slowly improving (but I agree that he still needs to work on his line delivery), but I do wonder what will happen when his big reveal is coming up. 
    • I've already asked this before, recently, but can anyone who watched those years more closely tell me if anything said about Jessie and Simon at the end of their profiles is accurate (about them marrying, naming a baby after Brandon/Lujack, etc.)?
    • Nicole is way too smart to not know she was carrying twins - she's a doctor! My guess is that Leslie did abort her baby out of fear, and as payback, stole Ted and Nicole's child (Eva), and stole Kat from another family to replace her in the hospital.
    • Those Soap Central profiles have a lot of incorrect info. According to SOD summaries and the Daytime Newsletter of the time,Tim left town for a new job and Pam reunited with the father of her baby and also departed Springfield.They did not marry.
    • Do we believe that Jabot is at the level of Estee Lauder?? I am on board with Jabot deciding to expand but the way it was handled was ridiculous. Jabot just decided and bingo, that was that. Not months of negotiations and decisions about how it would fit into the Jabot portfolio. And then no follow through. Josh thinks he's serving business stories by characters sitting around and discussing mergers, takeovers and job switching. Now we have Audra setting up her own company -Vibrator or something. Well, why not? You don't need staff, office space or even products.
