As soon as Serena lost the first set she was done for....

You could see just how tired she was emotionally from that first set. Even physically she looked sluggish at the beginning of the 2nd Set. Her mom's face spoke volumes as well to me too.

Serena could have easily won that set if not for a few idiotic mistakes on her part. She gave a great performance though in that first set....the stuff of legends.

I'm guessing Nadal is going to advance so I'm off to bed.

Wow Andy Roddick played almost perfectly last night against Federer....

In retrospect this match kinda mirrored the Serena Williams/Justine Henin match the night before.

Anyways Roddick has nothing to be ashamed about. He played Federer hard for a long time and just got some unlucky breaks. However that new coach of his is AWESOME. A year ago that match wouldn't have even been close.

I firmly believe that Roddick can definitely beat Federer now anytime anyplace.

I missed the match but yay, Justine!! She totally deserves after between both Williams sisters back-to-back. Oh and I just her backhand......it's so good.

Tomorrow's men's finals should be very good. Djokovic beat Federer just a few weeks ago, but it's not going to happen again.

The umpire that was at the end of Serena's outburst will be officating at the Australian open, will they cross paths?

She did umpire at the Medibank tournament in Sydney but weren't on the same court at the same time.

But I do have to say WTG Serena on her return comment to a reporter at a press conference when he asked her about how her anger management was going (or something to that effect) she asked him how his writing was going.

Who do you think will win the first Grand Slam event of the year.

On a lighter note Roger Federer organised a fund raiser for Haiti on Sunday.

Hmm I think this would have picked up anything that was said lol. (Wonder if her mother knows that she went snowboarding yet).

Somehow I don't think that "Triples" will take off.

    • yes. today Monday's episode started with words displayed "part 1" and ended with "to be continued"
    • I find Missy Reeve's views offensive and I don't want to defend her, but I don't think she ever said anything publicly about Days "gay content".   In fact, I don't think she's ever said anything negative about Days at all.  There's no indication Missy is difficult or unprofessional on set-except for the whole affair thing years ago lol-but that's a whole different topic. I can dislike Missy as a person and still think she's the perfect fit for Jen.  Cady tried and it didn't work for me.  Whenever Missy steps into the role it works.  It's a two things can be true situation.  Missy has some bad opinions, but she's great at playing Jennifer.
    • Doesn't the funeral go into Tuesday 
    • Christian Streaty wrote her second freelance script today on Days. Surprised they gave the first funeral episode to a newbie.  
    • And the third thing, which I have no cite for, and I may look to see if one is findable, but supposedly she said that the show had too much gay content in it. And, to be fair, that could be someone making a criticism about balance & not be bigotry but when it's added to the other, that's why it bugs people.

      The greatest tv series season finale in history.   
    • Mick Savage was sooo unbearable. And more unbearable was the reaction from the female characters to him - they were acting like he is God's gift to women and sooo irresistible. To a point of unbelievable cringe. 
    • Today was a short one. Only 33 minutes.  The ‘Part One’ graphic at the beginning was pretty interesting though. I didn’t expect them to do something like that.  I like how everything was focused around John and his family and friends. Again, the acting and the dialogue was very well done and well written. And I love that they were able to incorporate Drake’s, “swing for the fences” phrase into the script. It was nice seeing everyone interact with each other, especially characters who don’t often share scenes together. It felt like every character was part of a big family or community. Plus, an outdoor funeral in June makes a lot more sense than an outdoor funeral in December.  But yeah, it’s very, very strange that Will isn’t at the funeral, especially since we know that

      I would much rather he had been there today. And, where’s Anna too? And Jack and Jennifer? What was the point of bringing them all back if they weren’t going to attend the funeral? I expected Steve to want to close down BlackPatch, though I’d rather he just retire and let Paul take it over. But I like that Kayla was there to comfort him. I wonder if he’s going to change his mind at some point.  It was nice seeing Shane again too. Now, he just needs to have more scenes with his son lol but I enjoyed seeing him comfort Marlena. I’m not really sure about his interaction with Cat though? Was it really necessary for this to happen now, at John’s funeral? They could’ve waited a little longer to introduce this story arc.  Btw, was Tate bleeding from his head in his first scene with Arianna? 
    • This is the coldest early June in my life. It's like it's January.
