He’s one reason why I’m not so down on the future of tennis in spite of some of the incompetence surrounding the game. A lot of potential players who could step up and transcend the game if they stay healthy and hungry:

 

And it doesn’t hurt that he’s nice to look out, which will likely only increase with age.

France has always had a consistent pipeline of considerable talent. The question always is whether the individual players can capture the titles at the highest levels. That is when things tend to become less than consistent.

I have followed many of the Frenchies for years and I have had my eyes on Fils, among a few others for the last two years, or so. I am pleased to have seen Fils get his first ATP Tour title. He must be elated at taking the title in his home country in front of family and friends. Having said that Cerundolo crumbled in that 2nd set, after getting the lead, although to be fair, it seemed as though Cerundolo’s lead was always tenuous in that 2nd set. With the confidence that Fils now has in getting the win, it’s going to be interesting to see how he plays with the expectations of the French fans and the glare of the spotlight at RG.

Sinner sucks. He is giving Tsitsipas vibes. I know he is only going to be 22 but I don't see him winning a major. How long does he stay with Cahill?

That section is wide open for a semi run for someone. 

Monfils defaulted his match since last night. He couldn't recover from his first round match.

    • The highest rated soap seemingly has the smallest budget.
    • I hate to say it, but same. I gave the recast a chance, but I don't love the change his acting style has brought to the character.  I agree that Maurice needed to develop his craft, especially with the delivery of the more emotional stuff, but he didn't need to be recast. NuTed feels like a punk and too soft. 
    • I’m still enjoying Leslie personally. It’s actually fascinating to see her so fear less about getting caught. I don’t even think she comprehends how Eva just saved her ass. Also her interactions with Kat and Jacob entertain me. She has great antagonistic chemistry with both of them. I agree on both accounts.  I have zero connection or interest in the character now. He comes off as such a wimp to me.
    • BY FAR the weakest episode of the past week+. -- Even a change in writers cannot make Leo work as a character. Dialing back on his personality isn't enough -- he's still insufferable. Every scene he was in reminded me of why I grew to hate Carlivati. -- Chad couldn't make a longer obituary on John a go with a single phone call? So stupid. -- Jack and Jennifer should have called in their regrets the way Hallmark Sami did. I got nothing from them today and felt nothing. -- Jack slobbering the praise on Leo for his work at the paper was pathetic.

    • I was relieved to get a respite from the heavy John/Bo material today. Like previously mentioned, it really let us come up for air and breathe a bit, and good beats regarding John were still in play to keep that thoroughline going.  Peter Reckell was fantastic on yesterday's episode. I was worried Bo would be told about Victor and Doug off-screen, so though my heart was fully breaking for him, I'm really happy we got to see him react to their passings. How strange that both his fathers died in a plane crash, I'm surprised they didn't have a line about it, but maybe it would have been to clunky to include. Cat/Tate were a fresh interaction. Why would she "feel" like she knows Sami. It reminded me of when Carrie "felt" like she knew EJ when he first came to town as EJ Wells, where he should have turned out to be a long lost Tony/Anna kid, but then all the mess we got happened instead. With that and her mysterious call, colour me intrigued. I am going to confess something I am almost ashamed to admit ... I like the Jack/Leo scene! However, in my defense, it got very genuine between them and those historical references used about Diana, Duke, and Leo's past with John were all very strong beats to play for me, and most importantly it Leo's responses were kept to a minimum. But by God, those pants he was wearing made him look deranged. Also, shout out to Melissa Reeves, who came back effortlessly yet again. I can't wait to see her confront Chad about letting Cat into his life. And SSH shouting "SKYDIVING" was hilarious.

       I also feel like we’ve honored her lately with the synopses that keep coming in! Just wish we had more clips! Maybe someday! 
    • Of course Donna somehow missed Laura Wright’s moles for 20 years.
    • Today's Lucky and Liz scenes were horrible. There really is no way to explain Lucky's character. Not that anyone cared though. It looked like everyone involved just gave up, and that JJ couldn't get out of there fast enough.  Also, why is Sonny on every single day? Most of his appearances are so pointless. Can they not rest the character, even for a few days?
