Grigor just broke Stan, who was serving for the match. Encouraging signs for him this tournament.

 

It’s a hot day in Paris, and tomorrow will be even hotter.

I’m wondering about Serena’s fitness moving forward. Injuries at 37/38 are simply harder to manage. 

 

“And American tennis has a new name on the big stage.”

 

Alright, Mike Tirico, calm down. We’ve seen young Americans with confidence blow up and flame out before. Kenin played a solid tactical match against a champion who didn’t have her A game.

 

Still, all credit to her for playing the player and not the name and for regrouping during nervous moments in the second set when she lost that break advantage. Serena could have steamrolled her after that.

Yeah, the Margaret Court hunt is all media-created bullish!t to create some kind of narrative to excite viewers. 

 

Djokovic vs Struff

Fognini vs Zverev

 

Thiem vs Monfils

Khachanov vs Del Potro 

 

Tsitsipas vs Wawrinka

Federer vs Mayer

 

Nishikori vs Paire

Londero vs Nadal

 

All of the non-Big 3 battles are potentially great.

So this is becoming a thing, stoked by the usual suspects: the RG press folk forced Dominic to leave the main press room in the middle of interviews (moving to a smaller room) because Serena wanted to take questions immediately after her loss. Of course, Serena has become the target of most of the ire. Tempest in a teapot caused by reporters who don’t find the actual tennis interesting enough to cover.

    • No.  I recall there was also a mention about how distracting it was EOB's Gwen wasn't wearing nail polish as well.  That it was someone's pet peeve. And, yes, the fact characters can have a manicure in prison is the wildest continuity issue here.
    • Can anyone remember Mary Ellen Stuart's run as Jenny? I'm trying to fill in the cracks for missing stuff that we overlooked.  Bulletpoints:  * Dated Ross * Rusty's police partner * Directly responsible for Dinah coming forward about George Stewart (Cam's father)
    • But that's not weird... nail polish is allowed in prisons via commissary. Same with general makeup, haircuts, and hair colouring products.
    • This is DAYS, the show that said you could brainwash anyone with simple kitchen appliances.  An actor's nail polish or lack thereof should be the least of our concerns, lol.
    • It was not that she wasn't wearing nail polish, it is that she managed to get a manicure in prison
    • "We're Knot Done Yet": the name of this lovely podcast AND what JVA tells her plastic surgeon at every appointment. In other news, Michele Lee is reminding me more and more of my old music teacher from elementary school, and I couldn't STAND that bitch.
    • I apologize if this has been covered already, but does anyone know whether Douglas Marland was HW'ing by that point?  If he was, then I see what he meant when he said (in so many words) that he had inherited a mess when he started at GH.  Aside from Alan and Monica, none of that material seems very promising.  The story with Mark Dante and the Corbins is the wrong kind of predictable (y'know, the kind where you know what's going to happen, but you just don't give a crap?), the stuff with Scotty and Laura is cute but toothless, I don't know WHAT the hell Gina and Steve Carlson's character are arguing about and Rick Webber has to be the dumbest man alive not to see David Hamilton twirling his invisible moustache over how to make a killing off Lamont Corbin's declining health.  (By the way, "LAMONT CORBIN"?  What is this, "The Shadow"?  And "Corbin Limited" sounds like some jive I'd hear over on Y&R.) In a way, it's kind of like watching today's GH, right down to the dialogue that's serviceable and pushes plot along but says nothing about the characters' inner lives.
    • It absolutely was; the narrative was there, and they followed it promptly. Maybe that's back when women had babies at young ages?!?!?

    • Thanks for asking that!  Back when we had another major event upcoming (a party or the concert), I had intended to ask what everyone here was planning to wear.
