I saw that.  You could tell by the way she was acting the last time (well, the last time I saw) her on Twitter.  Someone posted an 'interview', but it was someone just trying to talk to her really.  Chris Evert tweeted it out and said, this is not OK or something.  But in the video someone asked her about where she's been, and at first she said 'can we go inside?' Like she wanted to say something. Then she looked sideways like someone was watching her (because I'm sure they were)...and then, the person who asked the question was standing right there...she said "I can't hear you, I'm sorry?"  It was so obvious that she's been yanked back/put in her place.  Did she appear at the Olympics?  I thought for sure, maybe I missed it, but it would be very much like them to trot her out for a lot of parade opportunities to show how happy she is.

I watched it. Lots of former players were there. My favorite Gabriella Sabitini was there. Nice to see her again. The atmosphere was a typical DelPo match. A full house crowd with no empty seats. I started tearing up when he started crying before the last game played.

Ugh.  Well not much solace but at least the loss was to someone from Argentina.  There's a part of me that still wants him to somehow stay in it and return.  I would love to see him advance a couple of matches at a Slam.  He would get a ton of support.

Tennis is the pits right now. Thank gawd Nadal won the first major.

We have the Greek God, hate the name, losing with a new coach in toe. You know Thomas Enqvist will be blamed for the loss. I really didn't care who won anyways but Enqvist deserves bettrr.

Dallas Open...nice to have a tournament in Texas but damn it's full of serve bots and who wins? FF to Brett Haber going on and on about how great American male tennis is and how Opelka is more than a serve bot and they have the nerve to show some meaningless stats. Can't believe they are still trying to sell this garbage.

On the clay we have Diego vs Casper...Mr. 250 Casper wins another clay court tourney.... Yawn...

But wait Brett Haber and Co. are saying how great he is and how great Rudd is on hard courts. Really?

Where's the receipts? It pisses me off that they pimp this guy when Thiem started almost the same way but refer to him only as a clay specialist. That he couldn't play on hard court. 

Yeah I agree with what Fabio Fogini said...tennis looks bleak with serve bots in existence.

Thiem where or where are you??

    • 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.
