Looks as if Stosur's USO11 win was a fluke because she can't buy a win these days. Much like Francesca S. Glad she's flopping because I can't stand the sound of her on the court. Very distracting and gross!

Wow! I envy you going to the AO!

Only going for Serena when it comes to women but I do like to see some up and coming star power as I wait for the Women's final.

Men: I always pull for my faves, Rafa (I forget if he's out due to that injury he just sustained or not), Roger & Andy

I also love Tipseravic & Tsonga but I only see them making it to the semis and then being out.

Tipsy and Tsonga don't stand a chance. Lately, Tsonga can't close a door, let alone a match. He was doing great for a while, especially since he was w/out a coach for a year. Now that he has one, we will see how his game goes. Top ten and no coach? Pretty impressive. Tipsy? He's got alot of growing to do. If he makes it to the quarters, I'd be shocked.

I have a feeling my sexy Djoker is going to take this as well. I miss Rafa so much!

I agree, I hope if Tips keeps improving he can seriously give my 3MG with Djokovic a run for their money but I just don't see it happening.

Damn what's Tsonga doing lately? The last final (Qatar) on the Tennis Channel didn't really interest me so I didn't watch it.

Madison Keys is ready to play with the big girls! She's the only up and coming American that is showing lots of promise. I am super impressed with her game! She's only 17!

That said, the witch in me would be remiss if I didn't mention how homely this chick is. She looks like the love child of Jennifer Capriati and Anastasia Myskina - YIKES! And because she almost has a Serena sized rack, she may want to invest in some Serena type sport's bras! You don't see the queen sagging or the puppies about to jump out of her shirt! But I digress, AO13 in 5 days! YAY!!!!!

Nice to see Sveta playing again!

How in the sam hell does Radwanska double bagel a top 20 player?! Cibulkova disappointed me greatly. I DVRd this match in hopes of a 3 setter, but I got 0:0? WTF! Aga is a consistent player, but she has no power or real weapons, yet she wiped the court with Cibulkova? No need to keep this crap on the DVR :(

    • Yes, but the stories are all pretty awful Seeing Victor rehashing his hatred of the Abbotts  when he married one of them and has a daughter that is half Abbott as well as walking around with Traci's daughter's heart keeping him alive makes him look worse than he already is. And I remember he and Jack chatting amicably in the past few years. Victor interfering in Kyle/Claire is just repeat of Billy/Victoria. Sharon, Nick,Phyllis etc are around but again the stories are lacking.
    • I think Kevin's 1996 Emmy was fair enough. He barely appeared for his second. I don't think anyone else on the list is that deserving but I might have gone with Moore as he did try with the whole Keesha AIDS story.
    • Thank you. That does ring a bell. I remember Theresa and Julian's drunk, giggly fake wedding (with Julian asking "Whassup?" to the minister). Was Bruce tricking the pair as a prank, or did somebody put him up to it? I especially liked Katherine recalling how dashing young Alistair was when he'd pick up Rachel for dates, and how she wished she could be her sister, then feeling guilty once Rachel had her boating accident ...
    • And Kevin Mambo beat Shemar Moore for those two Emmys. I chalk up the wins to the voters not wanting Jonathan Jackson to eventually end up with a five peat (he won 1995, 1998, 1999). These were the 1996 and 1997 Younger Actor races. 1996: Nathan Fillion, Jonathan Jackson, Kevin Mambo (winner), Shemar Moore, Joshua Morrow 1997: Steve Burton, Jonathan Jackson, Kevin Mambo (winner), Shemar Moore, Joshua Morrow

    • Today's episode was excellent. Clearly it was confrontation day and they didn't disappoint. I'm glad they didn't forget Mona in all of this and gave us an opportunity to see how she's dealing with this. A major highlight for me were the Kat and Martin scenes. Their chemistry is off the charts and I don't understand why we haven't gotten more of this. I love how they take turns calming each other down. They feel really well matched and believable as siblings. Speaking of siblings, they anvils were dropping strong that Kat and Eva are twins but I do wish someone would mention that they are essentially hood twins which might throw people off the scent.  I'm one of the people who enjoyed Joey and the gambling storyline so it was nice to see him again. It was nice to see different characters like Mona and Eva in that element instead of the usual players. When Doug arrived I don't know what hit me but I just see a funeral in his future. He seems so hopeless and has the worst luck. I just can't see him surviving the year at this rate.
    • In fiction there has become an expectation by some that every Black character should represent excellence and perfection. It's not like we are talking about a Tyler Perry show where none of the characters are happy and everyone hates each other with a passion.
    • And on rewatch, I could've done without the unsubtle praising Matt like he was the only one who ever accepted Van as she was...but TPTB and their agendas.  It was totally in character for Vanessa to shut down emotionally until she was alone. While she could be volatile, both she and Henry believed in keeping emotions private.  Thank God it's still Bryan Buffinton in the role for both Henry's and HB's funerals. It just wouldn't have been the same with Ryan Brown, who couldn't act his way out of a wet paper bag. Roll My Eyes.
    • I can probably believe the Spauldings reacting that way, as Alan barely cares about anyone but himself and maybe his family, while Amanda only had that one experience with the Coopers, but I see your point. I do think 1997 was a better year than the last 3-4 before it, for whatever that's worth. You are right about Marcus. Kevin Mambo winning two Emmies (the latter during periods where he had nothing to do) helped.
