Venus is going to have to score another come-from-behind victory. She’s done it many times before in recent years. 

 

Monfils sends Querrey packing. Does the Wakanda sign again in celebration. Love that.

People of color bringing it for American tennis. Mackie McDonald, Tiafoe, the Williams, Sloane, Madison, et al. Not to mention up-and-comers like Vickery, Gauff, Mmoh, Liu, Osuigwe. Would be great if they were actually promoted on the level of Fritz. Might help bring down those aging demos.

I like McDonald's game more than Tiafoe, Fritz and THE MARK IS RIGHT HERE!!  McDonald's game flows better in every facet. 

 

Fritz is a rich pompous ass. I've never cared for him or his game. At least he told the media to stop pimping his sorry ass game. 

 

And THE MARK IS RIGHT HERE IS RICH TOO....they mentioned how he wants to be this investment banker after he retires since his dad owns this big firm....I'm like why don't you start now....his game sucks anyways.

Now Halep is out to Hsieh. 9 of the top 10 seeds (including No. 1) gone on the women’s side. Hsieh really redlined.

 

Meanwhile, Cibulkova is on a mission. She’s basically saying, “You didn’t give me a seed? I’ll play like one while all of the so-called top seeds crash out. I’M STILL HERE, BITCHES!”

Kyle blew it. He should've beaten Joker after winning the first set. He stepped off the gas. I hate Joker. He was an ass during today's match to no surprise. Good thing the fans clapped after he got warned for taking too much time. I didn't Joker was that great today. I am hoping Krygios gets his head together so he can beat Joker in the QF unless Kach can take him out.

 

And Tiafoe?

 WTF was that?? That's what ESPN gets for pimping him. And John Isner is getting pimp to the hills by ESPN and Brad Gilbert. I don't know how many times I've heard .....this is a great chance for John to make the semis.....it sounds like a damn recording. Let's hope Tsitsipas beats him on Monday. 

 

I still like Del Po chances in winning it all.

Novak is so used to being the villain that the boos only emboldened him (again, see the 2015 USO final against Fed with a rude and partisan crowd against him, a final he won). I love his defiance, but he does desperately need to speed things up while serving.

He'll never get the love he wants from fans especially with his continued antics. I actually thought the crowd was pleasant considering Kyle was up a set. I thought the crowd would've been louder. I guess they were more passionate about Henman and Murray. 

 

I hadn't realized Novak was 31 already. Hope he retires soon ...I just can't with him.....

 

And Krygios.....ugh...why doesn't he stop playing? I am so sick of these performances.

Kei reads Nick’s serve better than anyone, I think. There’s a reason he’s 4-0 against him.

 

Meanwhile, the men’s Round of 16:

 

Federer vs Mannarino 

Monfils vs Anderson

McDonald vs Raonic

Isner vs Tsitsipas

 

Khachanov vs Djokovic 

Nishikori vs Gulbis

Del Potro vs Simon

Vesely vs Nadal

    • Interesting..this is more then likely why I found Reva 2.0 boring and annoying..she had everything she wanted...now what else is there but some outside evil person or clones? It also might have been one of the reasons McTavish had Quint have an affair..it made Nola loose her Prince. But unfortunately they didn't do anything with it but made Nola a sad sack whiner. I wish they had her write a book..of course, some tell all which would make everyone pissed at her, especially Van.   Long was desperate to sideline Van into the Lewis hole. They had Van working at Spaulding again in 85 around the time Alan came back. I would love to have had Henry and Van tired of Alex dragging some nobody blond guy and trying to install him as a Spaulding, and fight to get their part of the company back. They could have used Ross to help them and of course, Billy would be p*ssed off that Van wasn't sitting at home and her old sharpness comes out. 
    • I hope this shuts down all the book publicity [clickbait gossip] regarding  Biden's *supposed* mental state.
    • I’ve always wondered - why did Wayne decide to leave DAYS in 1984? He and Deidre were at the peak of their success, and their on-screen relationship was so iconic. Three years together just feels too short. Was there a specific reason for his departure at that point?
    • re: Damian's wardrobe: Bringing this over from the May spoiler thread, now that it's already aired:   Lily and Damian, Monday May 5 U.S. (Friday May 2 CDN)  they first encounter one another at CL, and then go to the lounge for drinks.

    • March 27, 2025 - GH Sherilyn Wolter (Celia Quartermaine) visited Emma Samms (Holly Sutton Scorpio).  They are friends in real life.    
    • Poor Philip. I appreciate how seriously his and Xander’s scenes were taken though. It felt like real drama and not like a big joke. You could actually feel Xander’s pain and anger. It adds another dynamic to the Kiriakis family storylines and I’m looking forward to the effects that this is going to have across the canvas. I can see them weaving Kate and Roman into this storyline as well. And it would be really nice if this somehow helped cause conflict for Stephanie/Alex too, especially because of what Alex did today. With any luck, Stephanie will be furious about it.  And I’m glad that Sarah has Maggie to confide in about her secret. I also liked seeing Steve and Shawn (and their matching jackets

      ) continue to be on the case. Kevin, revealing everything to them is another interesting turn in this storyline. Plus, it seems the writing has improved for Shawn as well. 
    • TBF, I don't think we've seen her interact enough with the "have-nots" to know if she is or isn't. It's possible, but I don't think you can say that from her interactions with Eva and Silkpress.
