Sold out showing of Billy Preston: That’s the Way God Planned It at Film Forum was one of the best communal movie experiences I’ve had in a long time. So much joy, sorrow, and beauty. We were all in awe.

PASS IT ON!!! Watch THE LIBRARIANS on PBS, Monday Feb 9.

As George Costanza famously said: “Just remember, it’s not a lie if you believe it.”

I know this is beating a dead horse but I half expected Alcarez to give a nod to Juan Carlos Ferrero in his acceptance speech. But he’s moved on like Elizabeth Taylor moved on from Eddie Fisher.

@espn.com Where is the on demand replay of the Alcaraz / Zverev match? It’s nowhere to be found. Sinner / Djokovic is there but Alcaraz is missing. What am I paying you $30 for ?!

BURY him on Sunday, Carlitos. Because if he beats both of you we will never hear the end of it.

Sweet Jesus, tennis you’re gonna be the death of me.

Also discussed: why is it always the women who can speak eloquently and thoughtfully about difficult, political questions about America but the men, when asked, bluntly refuse or say it’s just a distraction? Do better!

She’s totally coming back.

Enough about the blood sugar already. Talk about his lack of control over his anger issues.

This is what that extra $30 gets you with ESPN Unlimited: a split screen of Zverev vs Tien and… Tien vs Zverev.

If you live in America and have cable but don’t have the ESPN app, you can’t even watch young American Iva Jovic play in her first major quarterfinal against the world #1. Unfortunately very on brand of the tennis establishment to blow this opportunity to grow the game.

The roofs should’ve been closed from the start. It’s tennis not The Hunger Games.

Close the fucking roof. What are we doing here?

Well, well, well. Spizziri!

Who decided that last option was a good idea? 😐

Dear @espn.com: the way you have forced tennis fans to pay more and more $$$ to watch all the courts is infuriating. I pay for ESPN through Sling TV and added ESPN+ for 12.99 and I’m still denied the show courts unless I upgrade to Unlimited. What a shame. What a scam.

Ew, NO.

Who knew Roger Federer and Ash Barry was the mixed doubles team we all needed? #australianopen

Just resubscribed to Bounces and it’s honestly such a bargain when you consider how many compelling stories Ben breaks and how great his interviews are. Subscribe people!

Only thing that makes me happier than the AO starting is seeing Roger playing again. What a sight for sore eyes 🥰

Australian Open Men’s Preview —Can anyone derail a 4th straight Sinner-Alcaraz Slam final? —How will Alcaraz fare without Ferrero's voice in his ear? —Medvedev, Bublik, Fritz, Paul, Shelton...Djokovic?: Dark horses to watch www.tennis.com/news/article...

Serena telling Oprah she wished she had done GLP-1 while she was playing. “It would have made such a big difference for me and career.” Oprah: “you could come baaaackkk.” 🤔

Comesana bringing 80s Krickstein vibes and I’m here for it. Love the Fila kit!

As for men's qualifying, we are all stanning Joao Reis da Silva. www.thepinknews.com/2026/01/09/g...

These are mostly silly predictions but some just might come true! At the very least Morgan Riddle gets that 💍 ;)

💃🕺

2025 was a difficult year for so many reasons but tennis got us through. Thank goodness for tennis! And thank goodness to all who took the time to listen. ❤️

Why do I feel like a kid whose parents just told them they were divorcing? #alcaraz #ferrero 💔

Tennis Channel is replaying the Miami semifinal from 2017 with Federer and Kyrgios. Nostalgia vibes are strong. What a year that was for Roger! Also, Tomljanovic in the stands watching her bf. Wild.

Get those tickets to Indian Wells and Miami NOW.

Rafa’s gonna induct him, right?

Looking forward to the tennis off season while also acknowledging this will be me on Jan 1.

Is there a men’s player more likable than DeMinaur? Who could root against this guy? 😈 ❤️

Amen and hallelujah. I ❤️ New York.

Last episode of the year! We’ll be back in January when the blue courts of Australia try to cure my Winter blues.

I deeply dislike Cam Norrie.

Wonder if he’ll get in.

In light of Bjorn Borg's new book, we look back at cocaine in professional tennis. Players who used, players who denied it, and some who danced around the issue (like they used to do at Studio 54?). This week, we bring you The Cocaine Episode podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

What are we Tennis Channel addicts doing about owner Sinclair's collaboration with authoritarian attacks on free speech? Also, Carlitos doesn't know what Meta Glasses are, the anti-Asian racism problem and more podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

Theory: Sinner was told politely behind the scenes he can’t play Laver Cup because it would’ve been game over on day 1 for Team World.

“What are you doing to grow the sport, besides charging me?”

We talk the best and the worst from the US Open. Pretty sure you can guess the worst. Plus, more listener tennis takes!

The serving today was 🔥🔥🔥

YAY! Carlitos saves the day.

Are they really gonna start the match with half the fans still waiting in the security line?!

Done. The person I spoke to said they are getting "hundreds of calls" and they will pass it along to leadership. Keep calling!

I HATE HIM SO MUCH STAY OUT OF MY SPORTS

Making the replicas the same size as the men’s trophy is nice but why not make the ORIGINAL trophy — the one everyone sees — the same size too?! 🤦🏻‍♀️
