Lyn

Very happy to see her back healthy and winning matches.

Whose do you think is better: hers or Anisimova's? Both excellent!

Boo!

A fabulous place to visit. Enjoy!

Update from Dubai post-DDF Tennis

Vinícius, Mourinho and treating racism as reputational risk rather than a lived reality | Jonathan Liew The Brazilian has seen this before, football has seen this before and yet why does it feel like nothing ever changes? José Mourinho: against provoking opposition fans. José Mourinho: in favour of restrained celebrations. José Mourinho, once of the poke-in-the-eye, sprint-down-the-touchline, accost-the-referee-in-the-car-park school of footballing expression: now apparently very big on showing respect to the game. Well, it seems like we’ve all been on a journey here. “I told him the biggest person in the history of this club was Black,” Mourinho recounted when asked about his conversation with Vinícius Júnior on Tuesday night. “This club, the last thing that it is, is racist.” And doubtless these words will have been a profound source of comfort to Vinícius in his lowest moment, having been insulted on the pitch by an opposition player in a Champions League playoff.

That was such fun!!

Yes late withdrawals are frustrating, bu this is ridiculous. Plus the WTA "mandatory" schedule is inhumane. They're human beings, not workhorses!

Me neither!

Best thing about the Olympics Opening Ceremony? (even better than the booing of Vance). The fact that John Hunt was commentating for the BBC.

JD Vance loudly booed at the Winter Olympics today.

Well it didn't cost him! I also think he was aware that sometimes his wish to produce highlight reels can make him careless.

Carlos has been pretty passive in this set (by his standards) since Novak's epic hold. Could cost him.

Can you point me to the times when Sabalenka has played "diving net points"? Because I don't recall ever seeing one.

Wonder if the ATP and WTA have yet realised that ICE are likely to target the Miami Open.

Yep. Everyone does it, not only Carlos!

This is the problem with not counting cramps as injuries. Players can simply claim injury to take a break when cramping. The rule for medical time-outs should include cramps to eradicate any controversy.

To the crowd or to her opponent?

Absolutely disgraceful that the doubles isn't on any TNT Sports channel or the red button.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Something deeply wrong with broadcasting to the whole world the players' area, lounge, gym, and stretching areas.

They just zoomed in on Świătek's face during her stretching routine... come on 🙄

That's a private area. Nobody can go in unless properly accredited. There is a reason for that 📍

Guessing it's because of the weather forecast of extreme heat. Extra match on MCA too.

She had a very valid point though.

Excellent!

Actually started a couple of years ago but getting rowdier every year it seems .
