I hadn’t commented on the opinion of the NY fans being the worst.  I didn’t think so.  Now I do.  All the extra yelling during serves was just enough for me - so ghetto terrible.  Yell a little OK.  But it was over the top and obnoxious.  Just gross.  I can’t imagine paying that amount of money and acting like that no matter who I wanted.

Thanks!

I'm usually working when Grand Slam tournaments are being played so I have to wait until much later to watch match highlights, and so often cannot comment live. But I do follow from a distance, lol. IMO the Raducanu win symbolizes part of a greater re-set in tennis generally, so that's why I commented here. Speaking for myself, women's tennis is starting to have personality again. The Williams sisters, especially Serena, were and are GOATs, of course. In recent years, though, I disconnected a little from women's tennis as there was no-one really drawing me in. More recently I've gotten more invested again. 

Re: NY crowds, I thought Wimbledon crowds were bad, but damn.

You didn't miss a thing.  Only Med doing to Djoker what Djoker has done to others countless times.  Against any other player, I would have waited for Djoker to take the final 3 sets but Med was dialed in and understood the assignment.  He was not letting up.  And if we didn't know before, the cushion of a double break means everything!

I just wonder if Novak hadn’t Nishikori’d his draw (losing sets to far lesser opponents in the early rounds, including Nishikori himself), he’d have more in the tank. If he managed to keep Medvedev playing just a little longer to take advantage of the cramping… What if, what if, what if… lol.

Novak really didn’t play his best this year, to be quite honest. He was lucky to have won the French and Wimbledon with that level of play. It’s a testament to his mental fortitude (clutch play) that he came this close to a Grand Slam at 34.

I’m sure he felt a sense of duty to Serbia, but… he wound up not being able to win any medal for them. (Steffi is one of the greats, but doing what she did at 19 in the women’s game is very different.)

I don’t know what I would have done in his position. I don’t have 20 major titles lol.

      That second screengrab is just begging to be taken out of context.

      You make a good point. I just reached for something, unfortunately more & more common & the meds are good & most people have a long honeymoon before any decline. The most obvious thing would be an impending heart attack. That could be played by an immediate crisis followed by fairly ordinary time.

      I doubt they're going to give Bill Parkinson's considering that it would be something he would have to live with and gradually decline. It'll likely be something they can sweep under the rug eventually (though it wouldn't surprise me if they pull the misdiagnosis trick between then).

      Odds more likely Parkinsons. Hand tremor is one of the first symptoms, often. Actually it could be any number of neurological issues. Not all are Parkinsons. I think I already posted about Dani's laser focus on her girl. But in case not, this goes double for me! Totally love & also appreciate scenes like these Dani scenes. Showing some layers, she is! Whether its with her sister or her daughter, as long as the subject is family, Dani is down.

      5-21   Have I said how much I like Jacob and Naomi? As the first in-bed couple from Episode 1...and a good guy/good girl couple, I do love seeing their development. Together. And separate. So doing my rewatch, it's great to see them together one moment and making their lives work. And then the next minute, they are off in other stories. I liked the Naomi/Derek scenes. Meanwhile DETECTIVE Jacob is involved in the SilkPress storyline due to Veronica Mars aka Kat on her and Eva's case.    Dani, Dani, Dani. I thought it was a good episode to show her different sides. The outrageous Dani who would kiss her friend in public...and figuratively blow Bill's head off. And then...there's Mama Dani with Chelesa. She is always going to be divisive, ain't she? Sidenote...good to see a bit of sass from Pamela on Vanessa. It's clear they don't like each other. I do wonder if that will turn into a C plot.    Speaking of C plots...well...I still can't believe how invested I have been in the Derek/Ashley mess. And another element in it that I liked this episode was how it was affecting Dani/Andre. Heck, they were all in the montage at the end.   And another speaking of C plots, Bill and that hand. smh. I didn't care for all the Bill/Hayley time, but that hand shake continued. I do wonder where that is going to go. MS perhaps? I believe in rare cases that it can happen to men, but I am probably wrong. Still...a chance to educate.    I loved the Dani/Chelesa scene for sure. I'm sorry that things did not work out for Chels and the girl. But it was nice to see that in the spotlight and something just different for soaps. And it led to such a great talk with Dani.    Mmmmm at the SilkPress/Eva scenes. It was such a visual version of what Eva and Tomas just talked about in the last episode with parents. And SilkPress admitting what she did. I totally missed it the first time around. I live for their scenes regardless. Though I'm starting to think (and the synopsis for this coming week doesn't help), that this A story is about to shift into more of a B story status to focus on the other A stories (Martin's secret and another round of Dani/Bill/Hayley).

      It really is too bad that Will/Sonny/Paul/ Andrew aren’t full time. John’s death could’ve led to so many storylines for them.

      I had to think about how Tate is related to everyone. First:  major storylines of John and Bo. Tate is obviously grandson of John via Brady Black. Tate is twice-connected to Bo: Bo is Tate's great-uncle via Isabella. Bo is Tate's great-uncle via Kimberly. Tate is separately related to Pandrew: Andrew is Tate's uncle on the Donovan-Brady side. Paul is Tate's uncle on the Black side. Connections to young people in town: Via Kimberly and Roman, Tate is related to Johnny and Will. Will is Ari's father, so Tate is related to Arianna via Will. Via Isabella and Justin, Tate is related to Sonny. Sonny is Ari's third parent, so Tate is connected to Ari via Sonny. I started to diagram out second cousins, third cousins, half-cousins, half-uncles, "once-removed", etc, and then stopped myself, LOL. What matters is that they are extended family to one another.
