Wind rapidly becoming to Sabalenka what heat is to Sinner

First time major winners on both sides! ROLAND CHAOS, indeed.

Arnaldi survives late-night thriller 😤 #RolandGarros | @mattearnalds

THE ITALIAN JOB starring Matteo Arnaldi. Absolute larceny. Those last two sets were some of the best sustained defense I’ve seen in a damn long time.

Ruud is such a good dude for not flipping out after that 8-7 point. Most players would've acted like the umpire tried to shoot them.

As the legends foretell, the curse can only be broken by a women's match being scheduled as the night session on Chatrier. At the conclusion of Osaka-Sabalenka, a rejuvenated Rafael Nadal and Iga Swiatek will emerge from the clay like uruk-hai to take their rightful place as champions

you took a full minute to line up your corner sorry it's halftime

I don't think people are gonna be able to say Joao Fonseca is overhyped anymore tbh

wow Fonseca was a seriously enormous baby huh

Let this cursed tournament not be committed to memory, but be thrown into the abyss of history, forgotten and never to be spoken of until the end of days.

Accurate analysis of these teams

Will look to have this as a regular thing for @optaanalyst.optajoe.com, but for my first bit of actual tennis analysis coming into Roland Garros, I wrote on divergences in Świątek's ability to protect her serve in recent times. Like/share/subscribe etc 🥰 theanalyst.com/articles/iga...

What happen-ed in Indian Wells happen-ed and what happen-ed in Miami happen-ed and what happen-ed in Monte Carlo happen-ed and what happen-ed in Madrid happen-ed and now we are in Rome and it happen-ed again #Sinner

things that keep me up at night: can Szoboszlai name one Maiden album

Jannik Sinner is making history. Enjoy the ride -- it won't last forever and sometime in the not-to-distant future, the kids'll be raving about a new tennis phenom and you'll be able to say "You think he's good? Let me tell you about back in my day. Now get off my lawn." 🧓🎾

Iga erasing the past year from her mind

I'm honestly excited to see how bad they might be in the premier league next season

Wonderful, enraging post by Ana about experiences many of us have had. The only “woman in tech” talk I want to attend at this point is one where a man tells his fellow men to do the bare minimum & be a decent human being. And then follows up by actively calling out the shitty behavior as it happens

I always want to tap the 'associating a bad person's bad character with their sports failure is not great because the things are unrelated + sports success would not redeem him' BUT AZ is such a bad sport and crybaby that it's fun to hate him on tbat basis TOO

this was not a photo shoot. Carlos was wearing his pum pum shorts having his usual roll in the clay when someone interrupted him to tell him they were out of juice boxes and this was the face he made

this is the situation that the Premier League has allowed to come about by refusing to take action against the meat wall tactic all season was Raya fouled? yes. were many other people also committing fouls? also yes.

Got the season coming down to that call is just so perfect. People screaming left and right, posting stills like “c’mon man” and I have no idea which side they’re on. Just perfect. I’m so entertained. I also hope soccer legislates this so far out of existence we won’t believe it could’ve happened.

we've been obsessing over the exact same voter my entire life. not even the same demographic. i mean literally the same man. mondeo man got older and became the left behind.

All right, this just came across my radar, and it is *brilliant*. You won't find a better or more compact explanation for [waves hands] all of this. This is the skeleton key.

Happy 'We are in Rome' day #tennis youtu.be/kIkp6n53g2w?...

1 - Jannik Sinner (2026) is the first player in the format's history to win each of the first four ATP Masters 1000 events in a calendar year. Indian Wells 🏆 Miami 🏆 Monte Carlo 🏆 Madrid 🏆 Unprecedented. #MMOPEN

A run to the semis breaks the 31 match win streak record held by Djokovic Aside from retirement in Shanghai 2025, Sinner hasn't failed to reach the semi finals of any Slam or Masters 1000 event since Montreal 2024

Good lord Brighton

Average topspin shot speeds, per Tennis Channel: Forehand: Sinner - 83 mph Møller - 78 mph Backhand: Sinner - 72 mph Møller - 84 mph

It’s funny because this whole thread is like complaining that your hammer isnt put the screws in the hole. But also the hammer’s makers spent like a good few years advertising it as an amazing new replacement for screwdrivers.

theonion.com/carlos-alcar... this is some kind of crossover fame #tennis

"Got the pic of the red card incident for you boss. Real fucking sexy just like you asked."

Another Sincaraz final in the books! The Monte Carlo final featured the slowest conditions this matchup has seen so far, and marks Sinner’s first win in significantly slower-than-average conditions since the Umag final in 2022

Spot on

After JD Vance campaigned for Orban it’s hard to imagine how he could fail harder after this. He’d have to, like, be tasked with negotiating the opening the Straight of Hormuz and then somehow manage to double close it or something.

even the most tenacious autocrats have a difficult time denying a landslide result against them

analogy for the America brained is like if the Dems lost to Trump four times in a row and then ran Mitt Romney to save the country and won crazy supermajorities and also Mitt Romney was named Johnny America

2 - Since the ATP Masters 1000 format’s introduction in 1990, Jannik Sinner has become just the second player to win Indian Wells, Miami and Monte Carlo in a season after Novak Djokovic (2015). Prime. #RolexMonteCarloMasters

Sincaraz is the best thing in all of sports in 2026.

Going to be hard to top this female coach in the German men's fifth tier

Anyone claiming to be bored by Sinner + Alcaraz playing for #1 in the Monte Carlo final is being unserious
