I don’t know, but I remember him losing to Murray in best of 3 with 7-6 in there. But he has lost to him. Opelka gets a pass for me for now. Not worthy of HOF at all but I feel like he can play at least. I remember a tournament where he beat a lot of ranked players. I don’t remember Isner ever stringing anything together.

Last Sunday’s Novak Djokovic-Nick Kyrgios Wimbledon men’s final averaged a 1.3 rating and 2.24 million viewers on ESPN, ranking as the most-watched men’s final excluding those involving Roger Federer since 3.05 million watched Andy Murray-Djokovic in 2012 (four telecasts). Ratings increased 18% and viewership 22% from Djokovic-Matteo Berrettini last year (1.1, 1.8M).

Djokovic’s win, which peaked with 3.3 million viewers, fell well short of his 2019 five-set defeat of Federer (3.83M). An encore presentation on ABC averaged a 0.63 and 1.02 million.

The previous day’s Elena Rybakina-Ons Jabeur women’s final averaged a 0.7 and 1.21 million, flat in ratings and up 9% in viewership from Ashleigh Barty-Karolina Pliskova last year (0.7, 1.1M) but down sharply from Simona Halep-Serena Williams in 2019 (1.7, 2.44M). The ABC encore drew a 0.52 and 838,000. Combined, the two ABC encore presentations averaged 931,000 (+13%).

The complete Wimbledon tournament averaged 647,000 viewers across ESPN, ESPN2 and ABC, up 26% from last year. Keep in mind this year marked the first time since NBC last held rights in 2011 that any live Wimbledon coverage was scheduled for broadcast television. In addition, last year’s Wimbledon coverage included fewer hours on the flagship ESPN network due to the UEFA Euros.

While this year’s audience jumped 26% from last year, it declined the same amount from 2019 (877K). Keep in mind that 2019 figures did not include out-of-home viewing.

Does ABC have a broadcast contract with the people at the AELTC to broadcast the tournament, or is it just something they work out amongst themselves with Disney/ESPN? I guess I am asking whether ABC will think it’s worth their time to broadcast matches next year, or will they leave it all on ESPN?9

Sigh still with the big three/four mess. No wonder ticket sales were down at Wimbledon this year. 

Had the Cup been in the states again Novax wouldn't have been included. Glad we won't see him until Paris. He can spread the virus somewhere else.

Watching tennis on tennis channel and Traci mentions that Ivashka and Karen Khachanov are brothers in laws. They are married to twin sisters. Its nice to see neither is married to the typical model blonde type most male tennis players date.

    • No.  I recall there was also a mention about how distracting it was EOB's Gwen wasn't wearing nail polish as well.  That it was someone's pet peeve. And, yes, the fact characters can have a manicure in prison is the wildest continuity issue here.
    • Can anyone remember Mary Ellen Stuart's run as Jenny? I'm trying to fill in the cracks for missing stuff that we overlooked.  Bulletpoints:  * Dated Ross * Rusty's police partner * Directly responsible for Dinah coming forward about George Stewart (Cam's father)
    • But that's not weird... nail polish is allowed in prisons via commissary. Same with general makeup, haircuts, and hair colouring products.
    • This is DAYS, the show that said you could brainwash anyone with simple kitchen appliances.  An actor's nail polish or lack thereof should be the least of our concerns, lol.
    • It was not that she wasn't wearing nail polish, it is that she managed to get a manicure in prison
    • "We're Knot Done Yet": the name of this lovely podcast AND what JVA tells her plastic surgeon at every appointment. In other news, Michele Lee is reminding me more and more of my old music teacher from elementary school, and I couldn't STAND that bitch.
    • I apologize if this has been covered already, but does anyone know whether Douglas Marland was HW'ing by that point?  If he was, then I see what he meant when he said (in so many words) that he had inherited a mess when he started at GH.  Aside from Alan and Monica, none of that material seems very promising.  The story with Mark Dante and the Corbins is the wrong kind of predictable (y'know, the kind where you know what's going to happen, but you just don't give a crap?), the stuff with Scotty and Laura is cute but toothless, I don't know WHAT the hell Gina and Steve Carlson's character are arguing about and Rick Webber has to be the dumbest man alive not to see David Hamilton twirling his invisible moustache over how to make a killing off Lamont Corbin's declining health.  (By the way, "LAMONT CORBIN"?  What is this, "The Shadow"?  And "Corbin Limited" sounds like some jive I'd hear over on Y&R.) In a way, it's kind of like watching today's GH, right down to the dialogue that's serviceable and pushes plot along but says nothing about the characters' inner lives.
    • It absolutely was; the narrative was there, and they followed it promptly. Maybe that's back when women had babies at young ages?!?!?

    • Thanks for asking that!  Back when we had another major event upcoming (a party or the concert), I had intended to ask what everyone here was planning to wear.
