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.

    • I have this nagging feeling we think of different ones as the best! Care to fulfill my curiosity? Which are you thinking of? 
    • the famous babyswitch. the best babyswitch imo
    • Yes, it has. It was seen in the episodes when Dani broke into the house while Hayley and Bill were on their honeymoon. Dani and a Fairmont Crest security guard were also shown outside the house's entrance. Bill and Hayley were seen in the foyer when they returned. I imagine the set will resurface when there's a need for it.
    • There is some kind of arrangement going on between Justin and Evie, who seems to be caring for Sam. I'm not sure, but she may even be living there with Justin and Phillip. Phillip inviting Evie at least makes a little more sense (if the guest list was limited to women Vanessa liked, it would've only consisted of Trish and Helena. lol)  Maybe it was more common to hang on to performers, back in the day? Instead of immediately kicking them to the curb? Evie hadn't had much to do after Chet was revealed to be her stalker. With Rita, Jackie and Ben gone, there weren't many on the canvas she'd really worked with, other than Ross. They could've pivoted her back to Ross, instead of letting him languish love-less for nearly a year other than goo-goo eyeing Amanda. Nowadays, there might've been a moment written Jordan and Janet, an eye-wink to the audience about them having previously worked together.
    • I 100% agree that Bill and Haley's set would work better as a bedroom. I also think it might have made more sense to give them a penthouse instead of a mansion. Realistically they aren't going to have the room for multiple mansions, even with the larger studios. A more open concept penthouse would've been fine. I also wish more people lived together. The age confusion kinda messes that up but I would at least have Chelsea living with Dani. If Martin were Anita and Vernon's child (as he should be), I'd have these families living together as well. By doing that, the space used for Martin and Smitty's house could be used to build a dining room for the Dupree home and I'm sure it wouldn't be hard to throw a couple bedrooms in as needed.
    • CBS primetime was such a mess in the 1990s. 1990/91 fourth consecutive third place finish. 1991/92 to 1993/94 some signs of life but it didn't last.  1994/95 to 1999/2000 another primetime mess era. 1995 the sale to Westinghouse and Les Moonves arrived. The only bright spots were Touched by an Angel becoming a Top 10 show and Everybody Loves Raymond starting to show growth. CBS primetime would have a comeback in 2000 with the premieres of Survivor and CSI and Everybody Loves Raymond becoming a Top 10 show, and the rest is history.
    •  Thanks! For some reason I had misremembered ER and Chicago Hope going directly head to head but that may have been because of the hype about both shows.    Poor Connie Chung. She seem poised for success and possibly the next Barbara Walters. I don’t recall her co-anchor gig on the CBS Evening News was well received though. She kind of tanked her career moving into more a tabloid journalist role once at ABC and especially once she moved off network TV to CNN and later more infamously on MSNBC.

    • Strangely, it was Phillip who invited Evie to go to the ball with him. She had been taking care of Samantha, so I guess it was a way to thank her for helping Justin after Jackie's death? So she was not invited by Vanessa. Phillip brought her as his plus one. That Evie stayed on the canvas so long is extremely odd, especially since Ben was gone way before her. My theory is Marland was going to bring Rita back, so they wanted Evie to remain in place as her sounding board. When he left and Potter was still EP, that might have still been the plan. Once Kobe came in, that would have been thrown in the dumpster along with a lot of other story plans and characters.
    • Nina and Portia are generally presented as entirely too savvy to not think this ketamine (don't even GET me started on that) nonsense wouldn't immediately blow up in their face. Drew, the ex-navy seal and congressman, wouldn't get a drug test immediately after acting wildly out of character? Portia allowed this to so easily be traced back to her by roping in Brad, a man who can't stand her? Nina didn't think Willow would Stand By Her Man? Girl, PAY ATTENTION! I also find it disturbing how BOTH of them are gaslighting Willow. It feels gross. They should have presented Gio as anything other than a responsible, genial and affable guy if they wanted us to buy any of Dante's ranting about him. You've known this kid since he was a baby and suddenly you're yelling at him like he's the devil incarnate? It was so forced. Every one of them, including Dante, know that they all would have done the same thing in Gio's shoes. Teen gets drunk, friends cover for them. Gio's only 5 years older than him, barely allowed to legally drink himself. How was he to know the kid had alcohol poisoning? Alexa Havins crying every day over keeping a baby secret. Ahh memories. Molly and Kristina are just the worst to their mom and Alexis allows it. Kristina does need to be committed, she's a danger to herself and others. I wish Alexis would just tell her that she knows. I can't wait until Molly finds out about her almost getting Ric and Liz killed. I need her to body slam Kristina. Sasha thinks she knows EVERYTHING. She's always giving advice and painted as right no matter what. And so holier than thou while carrying a married man's baby.
