@Soapsuds I guess now that the USTA development program no longer cuts him a check, now Patrick is speaking freely.

I thought the Novak cheating rumors were all just talk until I saw the photos. It was possible that he was just giving her a ride home but... 

Someone teased that Novak's head is the same width as his neck. Kind of mean but I caught myself really scrutinizing his features after that.  In the back of my mind I had this crazy theory that he started to act out when he found out that Ana was getting married. I still think he carried a torch for her while she only saw him as a "brother". 

 

Ever heard of a player named Jennifer Brady? She was so close to closing out a match to some Russian and played two poor points to lose the 2nd set. She had quite the meltdown in response. I admit, I'm intrigued. What is it with American tennis players named Jennifer having meltdowns?

 

I think you're probably right, John and Jack will probably play a long 2nd set, only to end up going to a 3rd.

Now Johnson smashed his racquet.

@DramatistDreamer And they just went 3......LOL

 

Patrick got paid for doing nothing. He is another boob of a player who has no business coaching others or broadcasting matches.

 

Now Ana is too good for him....LOL.  I am sure Ana first hand knows what a jerk of a brother he can be....LOL....thus no interested in a romantic deal with him. I am sure her more than anyone knows his faults and wouldn't come close to dating him...LOL.  I saw Ana's husband and the guy is hot!  Joker is nowhere near in his league in the looks department. I've always said that Novak looks like a chi pet with that hair and head of his....LOL.

 

Never heard of Brady.....will have to check her game out.

Brady actually had 3 MPs to win in straight sets. No wonder she was smashing her racquet. Those must've been some serious nerves!

 

I don't think Ana ever gave Djoker a second thought, they grew up together and when they played the Hopman Cup together years ago, he seemed enchanted in the doubles and she just looked like she was having fun with a buddy.

Oooh, argh...Francoise Abanda vs. Taylor Townsend. I like them both!  If it goes to a third set, I kind of give the edge to Frankie, although she had some 'yips' with her serve last season.

 

ETA. Taylor just broke Frankie, so it looks as if Frankie's service is still a bit suspect (which is going to be a disadvantage with Taylor's good court positioning). It's to Taytay's advantage to consolidate the break and try to get this set in the bag quickly, if she can. I have a feeling with this Australian heat, it's better to win in straight sets.

    • This can be difficult for a soap to depict. So far she's only shown an interest in women. Will a man come into her life? If she commits to a male, there will be  backlash, but if it's women only, them where is the bi/queer aspect? Personally, I would have liked a single gay male on the show dealing with hook ups/relationships etc. Smitty/Martin married with kids is limiting in those terms.
    • Of course, how could I have forgotten those thrilling episodes depicting the fire? Also we had the GCAC rooftop set that came out every Summer. Moving on to Friday's episode. Victor is propped in his chair, answers his cell and tells the caller 'Let him in'. Seconds later Kyle enters. So does Victor have security on the front porch? It would have been better had Victor taken the call, and then said to himself 'Well Kyle, let's see what you have to say'and fade out. Next scene Kyle enters, indicating that the first call was from the Ranch entrance and time had passed . Nit picky but I get frustrated when they do stuff like that.
    • Jordan was gone from '87 to mid-'89. He left just weeks after Robert's late '86 return.
    • Jordana Brewster is making a new movie. https://deadline.com/2025/06/rob-riggle-jordana-brewster-the-pirate-king-1236426287/ Kelly Rutherford posing for a magazine cover with her son. Kelly Rutherford Photographed with Model Son Hermés, 18, Years After Custody Battle  
    • I don't think Chelsea has a true label just yet. She's just finding out she has an interest in women. I think the awkwardness is aligned with the character as we've seen. This is the fool who keeps filming her family when embarrassing things happen and live streaming it. I actually think it's refreshing she isn't just jumping into a relationship  and that they're playing the beats of her trying to figure out who she is.
    • Wow, do I agree with you. Chelsea is coming off as ridiculous. All she does is look for a woman to date while not caring about her business at all. That she's bi is great, but they're not writing her like she's bi. She seems to be lesbian. Yeah, I know -- "no labels." I just don't find the writing for her story to be anything other than awkward.   -- I hope we get some diagnosis finality with Bill's trip to the hospital. I don't want to see these trips to the ER every other day. -- Naomi is going to blame herself for Bill's health problems? GMAB. -- Ashley doesn't read as a real nurse in the slightest. -- Another day, another rinse and repeat conversation with Derek and Ashley. YAWN. -- Kat is making mistakes, but she's fun to watch and listen to, regardless. -- I still think the Joey/Vanessa/Doug gambling story sucks. I know Doug is deeply in debt, but I don't like him acting this meek and submissive.  -- I'm not sure what Joey's plan was from the beginning, or why he had to seduce Vanessa at all to get his way. I'm not sure what Vanessa ever saw in Joey -- why doesn't he give her the ick? -- I'm fine with a story where Doug and Vanessa take out Joey.  -- The fades to commercials were pretty bad today.
    •   Victoria's house (that she long ago lived in with Billy) burned down (I think Aunt Jordan set it ablaze?). Victoria briefly moved into the ranch after the fire, with Claire, Johnny and Katie, I think? Mariah and Tessa and baby Aria had been living in the tack house but they bought a house we've never seen and moved there. Victoria, Claire, and Cole then moved into the tack house as soon as Teriah left. I guess Victoria's children Johnny and Katie would live with Victoria at the tack house eventually? But Johnny and Katie went to boarding school during the school year. Not sure if we'll see Johnny and Katie for the summer vacation or where they would live.
    • Victoria’s previous house burned down.    And I know why characters frequent Crimson Lights 3 times a day for brownies, muffins and empty mugs:   THERE’S PCP IN EVERYTHING. 
    • Today was a good episode, and the week for that matter. I think they've also done a better job with background music. The scenes in todays episode weren't as silent as they usually are in the background and it was noticeable. I think the show has found its groove well and I'm still invested.
