Felix was up 2 sets and had a match point? Damn.  Out of Shapo and Felix, I think Felix will be the better player.   You can tell from their post match press conferences that he’s already a lot more mature than Shapo.  I think that will help him more quickly.

I’m sure he did.  What Novaxx is doing is/was stupid but Medvedev is also a prick, and it shows up once in a while.   It was likely his way obvious attempt to get some fans for himself for when Roger and Nadal retire.  I hope the most he gets out of it is that he was the one to lose to Nadal during Nadal’s big winning Slam.  And isn’t bored with the loss.

Collins handed Swiatek the smack down and she did it without living up to her nickname "DanYell"

Between having an Aussie in the Women's Final and an All Aussie Men's Doubles Final, I think the Australian tennis fans are feeling like not a thing is missing from this year's tournament for them.

Speaking of an Aussie in the Men's Doubles final, for someone who claims not to care about tennis, Nick sure looks like he cares... about tennis.

That seems to be the consensus among fans who watched the match. I didn't see it because there was no way in hell I was going to get up that early to watch a Keys/Barty match, especially knowing Keys' reputation for choking in big moments.

People are now comparing Keys to Dementieva but I don't remember Elena playing this poorly in majors. I remember in a Wimbledon match (QFs or SFs?) against Serena, she had a bit of a choke but it was a brief moment of constant pressure that Serena put on Dementieva's very shaky serves.

I just remembered by the time I was able to tune into that U.S. Open final against Sloane, I looked at the score and was glad I only had to watch a few games and of those few games, Madison couldn't put one ball in the court. I could only guess what the rest of the match had been like. And it's really become a pattern for Keys.

    • Speculation about Missy Reeves' potential evolution on basic civil rights doesn’t change my opinion of her. My view is shaped entirely by her public social media presence—which I find unpalatable—and I have no interest in learning more beyond that. I simply liked Jennifer’s hair and dress. That’s as far as my admiration goes.

    • Cheryl was gone before Lemay came back but I agree with your thinking that he would rather a character from a family he introduced to the show than a family he did not originate.  I remember reading somewhere in the early 90's probably after DS left as writer, their was an either a writer or a producer who made a comment that their intent was bring the McKinnon family back to AW.  Would have made sense for the newer viewers from the 80's.  Much like Lemay's attempt to bring the Frames back from his writing in the 70's in his 1988 return
    • DePriest left in January 1988. According to the AWHP, Rose last appeared nearly a year before in February 1987 while both Sara and Peggy appeared as late as October 1987.
    • Annie was not brought in as an antagonist for Reva. Reva wasn’t even on the canvas when Annie first appeared in late 1994. 
    • The speculation……….very entertaining. 
    • I had forgotten that several Days stars came out strong against Melissa. Good for them!
    • That would have made sense. Did all these characters get dropped when DePriest left or had they already been dropped?
    • The other issue with Missy: in June 2020, she "liked" some social media posts by Candace Owens -- things Candace said that were against Black Lives Matter.  That is described here https://tvline.com/news/melissa-reeves-racism-days-of-our-lives-instagram-controversy-2894568/ I don't know if that was ever resolved.
    • She appeared onscreen not long after Rose Livingston and Sara Montaigne, and we found out that Sara was Rose's estranged daughter. I wonder whether Peggy might have been part of that family group -- or else they were just juggling a few different potential mysteries so that they could develop whatever seemed to be getting the best response from the audience. They didn't do anything much with Rose and Sara really either. Maybe Rose would have become more prominent if Rachel and Mac had split up over Mitch, or if Sara had really flourished. In some ways I can picture Cheryl being affected by MJ's prostitution similarly to how Josie was distressed by finding out about Sharlene. But I can also see that Josie as a Frame being involved with Matthew would have different stakes for Rachel and Sharlene than Cheryl being involved with Scott. I do think the solution for Cheryl would have had to be a badder boy than Scott -- either a real bad boy who would do her wrong, or the kind of bad boy (not Chad!!!) who is essentially misunderstood and other people just don't understand. Cheryl would also have been better off with some friends her own age. Matthew and Josie benefited a bit from having other teenagers to interact with.
