I want to see whatever shot they're talking about in articles.  One wouldn't let me play it (Eurosport?)??  A clip of the shot.  Something about Moutet thought a ball was long/out and stopped playing, and Korda stuck his racket out and it landed in as a drop shot.  Some discussions say it was a dirty move by Korda - but the way it's explained I think I don't understand.  Did someone call the ball out, and Korda kept playing and won the point...but the ball wasn't out but in instead?  Anyway, I don't understand.  But it sounded like Moutet didn't like Korda playing the ball or acting like he wasn't going to play it, but then did and won the point.  To (if that's the case) I would say the point isn't over until it's over and that's on you.  That and I read that Moutet took a selfie with fans before the tie break in the 5th set???  Yikes.  Hope the selfie was a good one, and the fan can save it under the title "right before he lost".

Well, on the topic of lousy coverage...I had on Tennis Channel this morning, or ESPN2 or wherever it was on.  They were showing the Nadal Hannfman (SP?) match, which had already happened.  I just turned on ESPN2 because it said it's the Australian Open...and yay, we get to see Nadal and Hanfman again....rerun again.  Why bother????  WTH is going on?  Why not show another match of some kind.???  And then tonight loop Sportscenter all night long again and again.  I do not get this at all.

Novak Djokovic and his wife together control 80% of the stock
in Danish biotech firm QuantBioRes which aims to develop
a treatment for Covid-19 that does not involve vaccination.
According to the company's register, Djokovic and his wife Jelena own 40.8% and 39.2% of the company, respectively.

Sounds bubbleheaded enough that he and his wife would be the main investors.  There is no treatment for SARS.  So this company would be doing what no one else ever has.  A treatment for everyone for SARS.  I would say the common cold but that's rhinovirus.  But same outcome and thought process.  They're basically investing in what would be Tylenol for Covid/SARS.

Tennis journalists like Ben need to keep on Tiley to get him to answer these questions and then sports journalists need to succeed the tennis journalists, and then the mainstream journalists after that.

The people in charge of this sport are doing a grave disservice to the people who follow and support this sport. 

Speaking of which, are these folks greedy or what?!

    • Sarah (with the English accent) isn't just some random character.  Sarah was once the housekeeper for Eliot Dorn and Margo Huntington.  One of the following 2 scenarios happened a few months ago: (1):  One night, while Margo wasn't at home, and while Oscar the Doorman wasn't at his post, a burglar sneaked into the private elevator, rode up to the penthouse, stole several thousand dollars worth of Margo's valuable diamonds and pearls, and tied-up Eliot Dorn and Sarah the Housekeeper, ensuring that Eliot and Sarah couldn't pursue the burglar back down to the lobby or phone the police to apprehend the burglar. OR --  (2): Eliot Dorn was SLEEPING with Sarah the Housekeeper, and the two of them conspired to steal Margo's jewelry and went on a lavish spending spree and then tied THEMSELVES up to make it look as though a burglary had occurred in the penthouse. Margo Dorn currently believes Scenario #1 occurred, and she's rather annoyed that the "incompetent police" haven't located her stolen jewels yet.  Eliot and Sarah know that Scenario #2 actually occurred.  When Sarah stopped by the Unicorn and saw Eliot kissing Raven Swift, Sarah snidely said, "Oh! This must be Mrs. Dorn!  Nice to meet you, Mrs. Dorn!" Sarah knew good & damn well Raven isn't "Mrs. Dorn" because Sarah worked for Margo Dorn on a daily basis for many months.  That was Sarah's not-so-subtle way of announcing, "I'll be paying a visit to District Attorney Logan Swift and letting him know that his wife is sleeping with you, and I'll be paying a visit to WMON to let Margo Huntington know that you're sleeping with Mrs. Swift!"  lol.     
    • The AMC hate came from Jamey Giddens/DC and their industry friends, IMO. For whatever reason I always felt they targeted the show, and it was wrong. AMC ratings were decent and even went up under Pratt (Yet, he was fired). The ratings were also good under Broderick and lowered out after her interim.  There was no reason to be upset with the show other than it being slow. They literally played it safe and did the best they could in 2010 and 2011. 
    • I have very detailed synopses of all 1976 storylines for the soaps from the Daytime Serial Newsletter. Please let me know if you are interested in a particular show and I will post it in the appropriate thread. As I stated they are very detailed, so I don't want to clutter up threads if posters are not interested.

    • Surely we (and Billy Flynn) are not going to be saddled with a character named Aristotle Dumas? This isn't 1970's Edge of Night.
    • What annoys me a little bit about the "day players" is they sound a bit too "Brooklyn-ish" sometimes.  Obviously, the show was taped in New York City, and the actors are all New York actors, but Monticello is supposed to be located in Illinois or Ohio.  Occasionally, they grab actors and actresses for small roles who have VERY distinct New York accents, which contrasts sharply with the main cast, none of whom have noticeable accents (except for our dashing European gigolo, Eliot Dorn, of course).  The heavy Brooklyn accent works fine if the character is a bookie, or the owner of a pawn shop, or a guy who's selling stolen guns on the street corner.  But when it's a steadily recurring character -- such as the first Mrs. Goodman, who worked for Miles and Nicole -- it's pretty jarring to me sometimes.  And you'll see it often -- such as an "under-five" character who witnesses a car accident, or a character who witnesses a shooting, or the occasional desk clerk, or waiter.
