Murray loses. I knew he wouldnt beat Nadal

Murray will never win Wimbledon or a major. He has a mental block when it comes to the majors.

So its

Nadal vs Djokovic in the finals

Thanks Ron! I have always enjoyed tennis, I was disappointed due to my work schedule I wasn't able to see as much of Wimbledon this year as I would have liked. Great to see Novak beat Nadal for the trophy. I really was hoping Murray would have knocked Nadal off (and after that 1st set it looked as if he might...) but then he fell apart.

That happens to me with the US Open. I'm back at work when the tournament starts so I have to tape it. I was lucky to see all of Wimbledon. I was glad Novak won. I was pulling for him. I am not a Nadal fan. I just dont care for his game. I was hoping either Berdych or Del Po won but I do like Novak.

I think the commentators make Murray better than he is. His game is ok. I just don't see him beating the top 3 to win a major. His semifinal loses are going the same route as Henman's did. I think for Murray it is all mental. I still dont think he has the game to win a major but his mental block doesnt help either.

Cool

I've always wanted to go Wimbledon and my dream is the US Open.

I just don't get why they hype up Murray so much. He is an above average player at best. I think had Del Po not gotten injured he would have been in the top 3 knocking out Murray. I am also surprised that Soderling's game has gone south. I thought he would have been another threat at the majors. He needs to get Magnus Norman back as his coach. He was going to win his first major with Norman's help.

The US Open should be a good one with the top 3 and Murray, Soderling, Berdych and Del Po. I dont see Andy Roddick doind anymore damage in the majors. His time has past.

ESPN mentioned the Junior results this afternoon during their Wimbledon wrap up show.

Wow, didn't expect the results in both finals! Congrats to The Joker on his first Wimbledon. How come Nadal couldn't play like that at the French? Grrr. The US Open should be good.

Novak posted photos on his facebook. The gala ball of the champions. He is pictured with his brothers and dad. There are other photos of him and Kavotka...or however you say her name...lol.

There is a picture of him and his miniature trophy as he heads to the airport this morning.

I agree Toups...I was hoping Roger would have won Paris.

I find it odd that Nadal admitted that Novak is in his head. Just like Nadal is in Roger's head.

There are conflicting reports that Nadal suffered a hair line fracture on his foot and that he wont play the Canadian Open.

It should be an exciting tournament. On the women's side, will Serena successfuly complete her comeback with a grand slam title? On the men's side will Djokovic continue his dominant year, or will Nadal or Federer take a run at him? Federer needs to win the US Open to keep his streak of winning at least one grand slam title every year since 2002.

    • Me saying all the praise for Eva/Ambyr. Y'all..

    • Yeah, something is not right here. I will continue to have doubts about Leslie being Eva's mother for the time being. Until at least the writing/behavior of her character changes. She is acting way too cold/uncaring/hateful to be her mother. I know as soap fans, we have seen our share of rough around the edges, bad acting mothers. But even some of the roughest of soap mothers have acted like they love their children. Even if they don't always make the best decisions regarding them. Or are often at odds with them. Leslie has not shown anything for me to show that she even cares about Eva, even a little. It's all about what Leslie/wants needs and what Eva can do for her. As soon as she felt like Eva no longer served a purpose for her she threw her away. I am interested in seeing what happens with Leslie going forward. She really doesn't have anyone on her side. Eva at least now has Ted and Tomas to a lesser degree. I think that some others will eventually come to accept Eva in time.
    • I'm looking forward to seeing the first 18 minutes or so that we missed earlier this episode. But I loved what I saw today: I thought that what I saw of Bill's/Ted's interaction was realistic and interesting. I know we have hardly seen them interact, but I think that they have nice chemistry together. And Iiked the dialogue that they had about their roles/mistakes in this whole paternity reveal/hurting Nicole. I would like to see them interact more together in the future. I also enjoyed Dani being there for Nicole and giving her good advice. I did lol when Dani said she wanted to take off her earrings and be left alone with Leslie, Eva, Bill and Ted... I like Nicole as always acting mature and measured and trying to process what has happened to her along with support from her sister. I like that her family supported her and gave her space (including her parents) and then she went to them when she was ready. I enjoyed her scenes with her parents at the end. Speaking of parents, Leslie continues to act like this. Her behavior towards Eva is trash and she literally threw the picture of them together at the end in the trash. She really doesn't deserve Eva, and I continue to wonder if she really is her mother. She is just too cold towards her and sees her as a means to an end. I really wonder if she thought that Ted was going to help Eva. Or if she was hoping that he would turn her away as well. I'm glad he helped her and wants to try and have a relationship with her. It will cause conflict with the rest of the family, but it's the right thing for him to do, IMO.
    • What an interesting read @Paul Raven. Thank you so much for posting it. Annette
    • She’s riveting. And how she transitioned from utter devastation after the confrontation with Leslie to hopeful in the Ted scene—so seamless. She’s easily the most exciting actress I’ve seen in daytime in a looooooooong time. If she’s not the face of this show in a few months, they’re leaving money on the table.
    • Yeah either Leslie is a demented mother, or Leslie is not the real mother.
    • Ambyr is killing it per usual. The Eva and Leslie confrontation was GOOD. I gotta admit Ted taking in Eva and promising to do right by her made me cry.    See, he can still be a decent guy

    • Leslie threw Eva's photo in the kitchen garbage can.

      She threw out that picture of Eva. Im convinced Eva is NOT her daughter. She has no maternal instinct. Thats Nicole's kid   awww Ted is getting her an apartment and he said he would never leave his daughter. I love it! I bet it will be better than that dump Leslie had her in and she better not open the door for her
