With loss Cilic falls to #6 in the rankings(he had all the final points from last year to defend and didn't) and Grigor goes up to #5.....LOL....Grigor's points come off in Cincy which he won and the year end championship ...which he won too.....

I didn't even bother watching her boring match. Glad she lost.

I think it was smart in Nike's part. I wouldn't pay the extra years after he retires. Yes he will sell but I doubt the loads he would be if he were playing.

Isner is so pathetic.  He might be a tennis player but he's a tennis player that doesn't play tennis.  He serves and that's it.  I keep saying to friends - if the point starts, it's over for him.  He'd be better off treating both serves as a first serves and just go for aces on both because if he gets a return back at him, the point will be over for him.

Muguruza out to Van Uytvanck. Wow. She’s going to lose a lot of points. The upsets continue.

 

Meanwhile, Sascha Zverev has played like garbage today. Down 2 sets to 1 to Taylor Fritz. Play being suspended for the day is the best thing that could have happened to Sascha.

Everyone was screaming at him, “Why are you standing so far behind the baseline?” It just allowed Taylor to take total command of the match. The good thing is that someone can actually tell him what he was doing wrong so that he can make adjustments. Well, one hopes he makes the adjustments.

And Madison Keys is out. That half of the draw just opened up for Serena if she can seize the opportunity.

 

Zverev better thank the universe for his good fortune because if his match was scheduled earlier he’d likely be out as well.

    • The actor who plays Martin has been teasing that nobody has guessed Martin's secret. I love that for things like that and the June story we have no idea. I feel like if we didn't have the day ahead feeds Anita's reveal would've been shocking as well. I love that they aren't going the obvious route with these stories. 
    • I tried following the news in Los Angeles at https://laist.com (independent public radio and news) They had up-to-the minute accurate info during the wildfires in January. There's no video, no impact to my mind as to what's happening. Trying other outlets, to get the truth, but it's hard.  
    • That's a bit murky since that happened during a writers' strike. Assuming Kristen Marie had a 2-year contract she left about when her contract would have expired and Sharlene and Josie showed up right before that. Lemay was officially credited as HW from September 1988 but it seems very probable that his anticipated tenure influenced events that happened during the strike which started in April. 
    • I've seen so many posters over the years who are bright, creative, well-versed in soap history, and who care deeply about the integrity of the genre. I'd put the shows' chances in their hands a lot faster than I would allow any of the "usual suspects" to take control of the dramas they've already helped decimate. When I returned to university in the 1980s, I created a bible for a new soap and presented it in my screenwriting class. It was in reaction to how badly I saw the network shows being butchered at the time. The creative process was thrilling; a total joy, and I still smile when I remember the positive feedback I received from the professor and my fellow students. I was used to seeing written commentary from professors on my work. This one wrote me a long, complimentary note on the final page of the bible, but also graded it 97%, A+. I was beaming ear to ear for days!

    • Thanks. I do wonder if Rose was meant to be more given the caliber of actress they hired. I remembered Sara and Peggy staying longer as they were still on when Soapnet started their repeats. I wonder if that was part of the reason they brought Jake's brother in. 
    • Speculation about Missy Reeves' potential evolution on basic civil rights doesn’t change my opinion of her. My view is shaped entirely by her public social media presence—which I find unpalatable—and I have no interest in learning more beyond that. I simply liked Jennifer’s hair and dress. That’s as far as my admiration goes.

    • Cheryl was gone before Lemay came back but I agree with your thinking that he would rather a character from a family he introduced to the show than a family he did not originate.  I remember reading somewhere in the early 90's probably after DS left as writer, their was an either a writer or a producer who made a comment that their intent was bring the McKinnon family back to AW.  Would have made sense for the newer viewers from the 80's.  Much like Lemay's attempt to bring the Frames back from his writing in the 70's in his 1988 return
    • DePriest left in January 1988. According to the AWHP, Rose last appeared nearly a year before in February 1987 while both Sara and Peggy appeared as late as October 1987.
    • Annie was not brought in as an antagonist for Reva. Reva wasn’t even on the canvas when Annie first appeared in late 1994. 
    • The speculation……….very entertaining.
