What an embarrassing performance from Roddick. ..lol

I actually felt sorry for him. He stunked up the place with his awful performance.

Damn...thought John might beat Andy Murray....I can't stand Murray.

The match I am looking forward to is Djokovic and Federer.

The other blah...dont like either player...but I'd rather Nadal win than boring no talent Murray.

All of Murray's obscenities were stupid. Seriously is Murray that dumb....lol

*sigh* Why do you give your fans hope, Roger? Was shocked when he went up 2 sets to 0. Then I said he had to win in 3 sets because he's not going to win in 5 sets. Then amazingly, he gets 2 match points in the 5th set, like last year, and he doesn't pull it out. That return shot on Roger's first match point by Novak was amazing. For a guy who's career is on the downside, he almost makes it to the final and almost takes out the guy who's playing the best tennis right now.

Great men's matches today. I didn't get to see the Djokovic and Federer match but have it on DVD. I did see the ending on CBS. The Nadal and Murray match was less entertaining yet good.

The women's semis ....boring....boring....Caroline sucked! Serena giving her free cheap points and yet she still couldnt take the second set to a tie breaker.....

Caroline will never win a major with the kind of game she has now.

Yay Sammy, didn't choke. Got to see the last game here, had the live scoreboard up in the back ground of my compter here at work.

Well done to Sam Stosur, 6-2 6-3

Sorry, but I do think that it was a little rude of the William's camp not to appauld after the match. It is like one of them makes the final they are expected to win.

I am glad Sam won. She truly deserved to win. I am so happy for her. She played a great match. I was glad she was able to recover after the whole Serena fiasco. I'm happy that her loss in the finals at the French Open made her stronger in this final.

Serena.....ugh....b itch needs to grow the hell up! She doesn't know the damn rules and yet again she is fighting and arguing with the umpire. She didn't even know she wasn't the same umpire that did her other match. Serena looked like a damn fool. It was deja vu all over again with the kim clijsters match. Serena is just a damn bad sport. She only calmed down because she knew there was egg all over her face. Sam played better than her and those are the facts. Her family not clapping for Sam was low. As Mary Carillo would say that's not cool.

I didn't know there was a hindrance rule! I understand why the rule is there but common sense needs to come in play. Serena yelling "Come on," didn't affect the outcome of the play at all. At the very least, they should replay the point because there's no way a player should lose a point in that situation. If it weren't for that play and Serena getting energized for at least a couple of games, it would've been over a lot quicker.

If I knew anything about Stosur's play, I would've bet on her! Her forehand is amazing. Also, Serena had a late match (the officials screwed up here again. They should've played the women's semis first, then the men's semis) and a toe injury. Stosur had good underdog money. Damn.

I don't see the big deal about Serena's camp not clapping.

The rain plus the long men's matches made the women's semis match start late. Stosur had a longer match that night.

I agree with you about Serena losing sooner than later had her I'm black so thats why you are against me routine again hadnt hapenned...please GMAFB.

Wow...you dont see a big deal about Serena's camp being bad sports...wow....lol

Btw....The Tennis Channel will rebroadcast the women's final tomorrow night after the men's final on CBS. The tennis channel will also rebroadcast the men's final after the women's final. I can't wait to hear Martina's comments on the whole Serena issue....lol

It's such a little thing to me. How do you know they didn't clap for her before or sometime during when the cameras weren't on them? Why is clapping such a big deal anyway? Ooohhh....they didn't clap!!! Snap!!!! I will have to say "Come on!!" to people who think not clapping is a big deal! LOL

Serena's mother probably doesn't even clap when one of her own daughter's win... bitch looks as cold as ice whenever they show her.

Serena played terrible, its as simple as that. Her serve was atrocious. Congratulations to Sam! The better of the two players today. She seems like such a cool, down to earth girl too! Hopefully her success continues to build, maybe at Melbourne in January!

You know the pressure will be on her more to win The Aussie Open In January. She shouldnt let the pressure get to her because she is now a grand slam champion.

I always wondered why she wasn't doing better in singles. I would see her playing doubles and winning and thought she'd be great in singles. Why isnt she doing good. Glad my impressions of her doing well in singles came true. I really enjoy her game and matches. Most of the female players are boring to watch and all they do is scream during each point.

I wish they would ban all the [!@#$%^&*] screeching during the points...its so annoying and not needed by the women players.

    • Figured it was something like that. It's just feels weird that Will came back to see John but he's not gonna be at his funeral but

    • Bill convinced the Governor to pardon Luna. Steffy was too busy badmouthing Hope & Brooke for most of the Spring to concern herself with such trivial matters.
    • There hasn't been a media blackout, there's been live coverage on national news all weekend.
    • There's been something of a media blackout, but beyond that the only reason it's getting any attention is because Trump and the Republicans and their sycophants in the press are trying to create riots to pave the way for martial law.  And of course all the people who care more about setting fires and destroying property than anything else are happy to help them.  I've seen more interest in people arguing about whether or not they should be waving Mexican flags and how American flags are tainted than I have in the cause, which just reinforces what a malaise we are in. Many who claim to care about immigration only care to the tips of their fingers, just like Palestine and the rest. But these policies what people voted for. As long as they personally aren't affected, they are eating all this decimation up.
    • I was happy to see Caroline again even in one short scene. This was her first appearance since April 3. I was wondering why we haven't seen her, since Hayley desperately needs a talk-to aside from Bill.  I am also wondering where Jacob's partner is. Does Marcel have an opinion on Jacob spending so much time on the Laura case? Especially since Marcel warned Jacob about allowing his family to get in the way of police business. I liked seeing some vulnerability from Leslie today when she begged Eva to give her the helmet and gloves back. I'm still wondering how she will get out of the corner she has been written into. When we were first introduced to Leslie, she seemed like she might be a Machiavelli but since then it's clear that she more of a haphazard villainess doesn't seem to have a long term plan aside from causing random chaos.  Chelsea's desperation is cringeworthy but I actually think it's fairly realistic for someone who is closeted or newly out. 
    • Not to mention Leslie has made a formal complaint and requested a restraining order so there is a trail of her acknowledging that Kat is doing the most and basically harassing her. I bet that bites her in the butt   It truly is. Chelsea is 23 and doc has to be at least 30. She has too much to lose so I don't see why she'd even bother considering an immature social media girl thats already showing signs of acting unstable. She knows who she is so she knows all the mess surrounding her such as filming her mother shooting a gun at a wedding, not to mention the recent drama with her WORK colleagues, Ted and Niicole. Madison needs to not get involved with a daughter from that family. It just reeks o mess that could impact her professionally
    • I'm really sure now that Leslie is going to skate on the charges now that Kat stupidly broke in and planted the evidence. At this point Jacob probably won't even being able to tie that helmet and gloves back to Leslie because it's been moved around too much.
    • Seriously Drew is scum. Does he actually even love Willow or does he just like having someone he can control?!
    • Having them interact so much now has been such a treat. My new favorite duo. The desperation is such a turn off.
