🇵🇭🥹Alex Eala: "I looked up and there were Filipinos for days." #Tennis | #DDFTennis

Congratulations Alex De Minaur 🇦🇺, champion at the ATP500 ABN AMRO (Rotterdam) Open. Third time’s the charm! 🏆🎉🍾 And congrats too Felix Auger Aliassime 🇨🇦 for a great tournament! ✨🥳 #ATP #tennis

Congratulations Kaja Muchova 🇨🇿for winning the Doha WTA1000 title, first title in 6+ years and second overall! So well-deserved! 🥳👏🍾🏆 And congrats too Vicky Mboko 🇨🇦, 4th Final in the past year (with 2 titles) and now in the Top 10! ✨🎉 #WTA #tennis

Trump tried to corner Canada. PM Mark Carney didn’t blink. He didn’t fly to Mar-a-Lago to kiss the ring! Instead he did what no Canadian leader has done in our lifetime. He told the president of the United States to go to hell! Now that’s how you handle a bully! #SheShed #DefendersOfDemocracy

It’s getting harder to see the bottom, 🇺🇸. How much lower will you let all these go?

Victoria Mboko is a Top 10 player as she beat Elena Rybakina at WTA 1000 to get into SFs. 🙂

Kids, those days!! Mboko gets that fourth match point as Rybakina nets that BH (7-5,4-6,6-4). Was down 4-2. Second win against Rybakina in four meetings; both wins at WTA 1000 level. The Canadian will play vs Ostapenko for a spot in the final. Also saves Swiatek’s World No. 2. What a match again!

US Olympic Athletes Distance Themselves From ICE: ‘Just Because I’m Wearing the Flag Doesn’t Mean I Represent Everything’ Mediaite

Trevor Noah roasted Trump at the Grammys and Trump immediately had a melt down. If a joke can break you, you were never strong, just loud. Thin skinned Donny hates jokes because jokes expose the truth. Comedy wins once again! Fragile ego! Global punchline! 1/2 #SheShed #DefendersOfDemocracy

Alex Eala: The Philippines hosted its very first WTA event; that was a huge pinch-me moment for me. I felt like my two worlds were colliding because they were always somewhat separate, you know, me being at home and me being on tour (…) www.thenationalnews.com/sport/tennis...

In part, yes. And many of us have been directly subjected to such evil, evil acts …

You’ll have your turn, Iga. Jazda! 💪✨🇵🇱#careergs #tennis #tennissky #igaswiatek #swiatek

Congrats Carlitos on this first #AO win and the Career Grand Slam! So happy for/with you! 🏆💪🇪🇸 #careergs Congrats as well Nole! Man, you have nothing to prove. Keep going for joy, savor your legacy and the skyscraper you’ve built beside clubs you may feel you’re not within. 💪✨ #tennissky #tennis

I just want to add: - The East Wing of the White House would still be standing - USAID would still exist, and a million hungry people would still be alive

Don Lemon speaks outside of the courtroom after release: "I have spent my entire life covering the news. I will not stop now ... I will not be silenced."

This Epstein drop is HUGE and utterly disgusting. I don’t see how this man is allowed to remain in office. Where are the evangelical leaders, the soccer moms, the folks stocking up on eggs, the farmers, the small business owners. Decide. Who are you?

Congrats Lena! 🏆✨💪🥳 #AO

CAMI OSORIO MANILA WTA125 CHAMPION!!! 🥳

We stood shoulder to shoulder with the U.S. in war and crisis. Trump repaid that loyalty with threats, tariffs & insults. That’s not leadership it’s betrayal! You don’t threaten your closest ally & expect respect. You earn isolation! We’re not your Punching Bag!! #SheShed #DefendersOfDemocracy

ICE murdered Renée Good in broad daylight. Less than 3 weeks later, they killed Alex Pretti, shooting him 10 times. Every day, we watch as people are ripped from their cars, their homes, their lives. We can't allow ourselves to look away from this cruelty. Abolish ICE.

Women's Tennis Association No. 72 Donna Vekic hopes for tennis to be more accessible to Filipinos following WTA No. 49 Alex Eala's rise to fame and the country's first hosting of a world-class tournament. Read: zurl.co/bOWBu

Australian Open women's quarterfinals are set: [1] Aryna Sabalenka vs. [29] Iva Jovic (first meeting) [3] Coco Gauff vs. [12] Elina Svitolina (2-1) [6] Jessica Pegula vs. [4] Amanda Anisimova (3-0) [5] Elena Rybakina vs. [2] Iga Swiatek (5-6)

Anyone thinking of going to the Olympics or World Cup, don't Every country should be having a very serious think about the safety of athletes, players, officials and fans. It's morally wrong to go and give affirmation to the regime in the US Every day gets more disgusting, ENOUGH

The rest of the world should absolutely boycott the World Cup and boycott the Olympics. At minimum.

We realize many Americans are at a loss on what to do. But excuses, denial, blaming, screaming into the void, waiting for a savior won’t help. IF AMERICAN EXCEPTIONALISM WERE REAL, THIS IS THE MOMENT FOR IT TO SHOW UP.

Needed a Zen moment. Watching this sleeping baby does wonders. (The world is just too messed up!) 😽🩵 #cats #Caturday #CatsofBluesky

The people of Minnesota are an inspiration. They’re out in the freezing cold protesting ICE brutality and protecting their communities. They're delivering groceries to their vulnerable neighbors and forming human chains around schools during pickups. We can’t leave them to do this work alone.

Canada took down the United States at Davos, leading the way for others to confront the US threat: "You cannot live within the lie of mutual benefit through integration when integration becomes the source of your subordination." This is the beginning of the end of the US.

The reality is that 2024 was a fundamental test of the moral character of the nation and we failed spectacularly. We’re living with the consequences now. Maybe we improve. I hope so.

Canadian PM Carney: Canada and the United States have built a remarkable partnership in the economy, in security, and in rich cultural exchange. But Canada doesn’t live because of the United States. Canada thrives because we are Canadian.

Stan Wawrinka finds some magical tennis to complete the comeback in a deciding tie break! He is as determined as ever, hits as big as ever and as canny as ever. He was even the physically fitter, definitely an inspiration to all 40-year-olds out there! This is a wonderful last tour of Australia

24 - Iga Swiatek is the first player in the Open Era to reach the Round of 32 of the first 24 Women’s Singles Grand Slam events of a single decade. Massive. #AusOpen | @wtatour.bsky.social

Great bit of tennis weirdness to start my day #AusOpen

Madison Keys was asked how she’s feeling 1 year into the 2nd Trump Administration, ‘I think the beauty of the U.S. is that we are a mixing pot... We are a home of immigrants. I hope that we can get back to those values’ (via Australian Open Press)

wacky lol

Good night says this darling - he’s been asking me to sleep. My brain is still wide awake. Letting tennis get me snoozing (no offense AO ✌️🎾). May tomorrow be kinder to all. 😻😽

An extraordinary speech by an extraordinary man. @mark-carney.bsky.social leading the Free World after the United States voted itself down. Watch this speech. It's more than worth your time. youtu.be/dTvFnC-oFGw?...

“We know the old order is not coming back. We shouldn’t mourn it. Nostalgia is not a strategy… The powerful have their power. But we have something, too: the capacity to stop pretending.” — Canadian PM Mark Carney at Davos, basically announcing divorce from America and receiving a standing ovation

Quite the statement from the Prime Minister of Poland

How popularity overwhelmed Eala - and the Australian Open - BBC

If American exceptionalism were real, this is the moment for it to show up. Enough of the denial, deer-in-headlights, blame game, excuses, and waiting for a savior. C’mon 🇺🇸! 💪

Swiatek d. Yue Yuan 7-6(5) 6-3 at Australian Open Down 3-5 in set 1 Yuan was playing fantastic tennis, but Iga found the answers Chasing a Career Grand Slam This is the only Slam she hasn’t won or reached the final Never more dangerous than when she’s underestimated 🇵🇱❤️

Swiatek after beating Yuan at Australian Open Petkovic: “Yue was serving for the set and you came up with 3 incredible winners. What is going through your head when you come up with these champion shots?” Iga: “Well… I don’t remember them now” 😂

"If I'm just going to push it's not gonna work" - Swiatek, Iga.

elite.

Parks wins, salutes her box, exits the court. Eala still out there signing as many autographs as she can. bless.
