Wimbeldon is my fav.

But I agree, I love the long matches. However, I need to find a player that I LOVE. I thought Roddick might be it, but he's not. Ever since agassi left, there has been no one to really root for. I think I watched almost every match of his. acn you imagine his & Steffi's kids playing tennis?

I love Sharpova though & I love Federer to a point. & of ourse the Williams sisters. They dominate!

Same here, Tish. There's not one player that I LOVE watching like I did watching with Agassi, Sampras and Graf.

Right now, I do like watching Sharapova and Federer.

I never really liked the Williams sisters, but after Serena's Wimbledon match, I started to like her a bit.

I am a big fan of Tennis. Andy is about to play. How bad has he gotten? His game hasnt improved. I cant believe he just said he has another major in him. What!!!???? Hello...how about trying to be #1? or #2? Instead of crappy #5 and dropping!! Andy's backhand sucks and so does his volleying. He hasnt improved on those two shots especially that horrible backhand of his. :rolleyes:

I am pulling for Djokavic!!

Andy Roddick needs to do well in this tourney and I'm praying he shows up with his A game and he uses it ALL the way through rather than choking at the most critical point in the match.

Andy Roddick could be #2 or even #1 if he FOCUSED and did the things he does best at a consistent rate.

However assuming he doesn't pull thru for me theres always good old Roger Federer.

    • 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.
    • 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.
