Just checked and Ferrer only has about 25 points to defend at Indian Wells and thats why I think he pulled out. He knows he needs to play the following week in Florida where he has a lot more points to defend. I knew Ferrer's years of grinding on the court would catch up to him.

Don't leave out Sugarmama. Little Giorgi clocked her big time. Maria arguing about the bystanders calling an out ball out? Waste of energy because the ball had left her side of the court and had just about landed when the noise was made. There was no hindrance. Just a matter of time before Sven Groenfeld is a thing of the past. I believe Maria is only holding onto him so she can avoid ridicule, especially after dispatching Connors so quickly. One match? Although I did hear that they clashed quite a bit in that short time.

The match between Harrison and Fognini. I would fine both asswhipes! It was ridiculous. They couldn't bleep out Fognini's foul mouth because it was live. He wouldn't play until the supervisor came out and he lost the point anyhow. Then you have Harrison tossing his hissy and trying to force a BS MTO in retaliation. I was disgusted!

Sloane slayed Ivanovic. Ana has not lived up to her win against Serena at AO14 [not many do].

Azarenka and her theatrics. The commentators were all over her. Total drama queen!

Nadal does not have many years left. He consistently played an intense level of tennis for how many consecutive years? His knees and back are paying him back in full.

Tsonga did so much better w/out a coach, so he needs to dump this guy and find someone who can refine the game he had prior to his current coach. This guy clearly is not helping!

Agreed..so disappointed in Berdych loss...he was playing so great but was so flat in his match. Fed is just holding on he has been playing well either. None of the top men have been playing well except for Stan and I thought Berdych....Murray sucks and should have lost long time ago...I cant believe he will move back up in the rankings considering what an awful year he has had so far. I hope Dimitrov takes the tournament.

I know Dimitrov was my last hope. I love his game and attitude. I cant stand gulbis..he is a smart a$$...he was mouthing off about Dimitrov after his win and how he was going to be number 1...lol...in what planet...especially with his airplane forehand...lol

With the loss Dimitrov will stay at number 16 in the rankings.

Murray is out!wub.png Murray still moves ahead of Berdych at number 5. Murray has had an awful year and yet he is back up to number 5 after being at 7. He has big points to defend next week and at Wimbledon.

    • And not since. I recall it was quite small for a house that size. And I don't know why you would walk down a narrow corridor to get to the main living area. I hate when the sets on soaps don't have a logical layout! As for Andre his clothing is fashion forward and suitable for his character.He ain't gonna wear no blazer!
    • The last I remember seeing Ben, he was divorcing Amanda. He came to tell Evie that he still loved her, but was leaving town so that Amanda wouldn't blame Evie for his divorcing her. I'm not exactly sure when, but Evie doesn't leave town until sometime after Nola and Quint's engagement ball. I'm not sure if she leaves before or after Justin leaves in Sept(?) of '83. I grew to like Helena when she became friends with Vanessa, once she's edging her way out of Quint's life.

    • It sure was!  With respect, how does that make sense?  These men are young, I don't see that. 
    • I hope this played better than it sounds, because I'm imagining two separate scenes (the attack by Arnie, and later Charles getting shot). In my mind, it should have been a fluid single sequence. I wonder if or how often "bastard" was uttered in this scene. Fare thee well, Christopher Reeve. I've said it before, but pop culture's gain was daytime's definite loss. Imagine seeing HIM day after day, year after year, decade after decade, conceivably until they stopped producing soaps in NYC.   Well, that answers my "bastard" question. Good lord, the roads of Rosehill are packed with high-strung drivers and/or pedestrians. More sequences that I hope played better than they sound.

    • I think Ben had already left while under Marland and only returned briefly to reconcile with Eve. The whole thing confuses me as I thought for a long time that Eve left the show to go be with him and that was when they reconciled, but it seems like he returned, they got back together, then he left and maybe they were still together until she left to join him? I have no idea.  It does seem like the interim writers were using some characters like Justin and Helena who were quickly dumped under Kobe/Long, which is a shame. Helena is one of those characters who likely always had a shelf life but Rose Alaio was such a vibrant screen presence, if Kobe/Long had just been patient, she likely would have fit in well in the Reva era.
    • Also, the lawsuit story was not the right story to bring Naomi and Bill into a court battle since those types of lawsuits are usually resolved via settlements.
    • I know that Sara did eventually become Carrie's therapist, but I was curious if the show had her make comments regarding Carrie's stunts of making it seem as though Justin was cheating on Jackie.  Given that Justin cheated on Sara with both Jackie and Brandy, I wondered if it was wise of her to counsel Carrie given the conflict of interest involved. @DRW50I think once Adam/Sara end up married.. Marland didn't see any reason to explore Sara's personal life after the actor playing Adam was released.  I know that Sara lasts until at least Christmas 1982 on the show.. but I don't think she ended up staying on for very long into 1983. The period between Marland quitting and Pam Long starting was the perfect time to clean house on characters that had outgrown their usefulness  (i.e. Ben, Evie, Sara, Jennifer, Morgan).. and tying up stories started by Marland that were too complex (Mona Enright, Mark/Jennifer/Amanda triangle).
    • Unpopular opinion:  The focus on the soap opera tropes over the mysteries and crimes was partly what did the show in.  Also, featuring characters not involved in the legal, police, and criminal elements also hurt the show and took away what made it unique. Featuring characters like Jody, Raven, Sky, etc hurt the show long term.  The show ABCified starting in 1976/1977 and then went through a youthification period starting in 1981.
