@girinathan.bsky.social on Rybakina's victory and the post-match mess defector.com/elena-rybaki...

🎾WTA 2025🎾 With Aryna Sabalenka on 1, Iga Swiatek on 2, and Coco Gauff on 3, it will be the 1st time the WTA year-end rankings of consecutive years will have the exact same top-3 since Martina Hingis (1), Lindsay Davenport (2), and Venus Williams (3) in 1999-2000

Plus it matches the court, which is superficially pleasing Anyway she's through to the final, with the help of 16 aces, hopefully to face Anisimova

Doubles defence! #WTAFinals

Tennis deserves better than these worthless metrics: defector.com/tennis-deser...

The tennis tours' content conundrum. How are they all still so bad at this? Open it up already www.hard-court.com/p/the-tennis...

💯. Kyrgios is a toxic, abusive misogynist, and Sabalenka is cheerfully laundering his reputation Clearly she doesn't get it, or doesn't want to get it. She has form here: her previous belittling of the women's game already made her part of the problem before this latest nonsense exacerbated it

Cannot get my head around any right-thinking person still using X and believing they're not part of the problem The whole thing is rotten from the inside out. You use it, you're complicit in the hatred, the bigotry, and the violence that results. Cop tf on and get out news.sky.com/story/the-x-...

Alexandrova hit 3x more aces than Rybakina in the first set (6 vs 2) and had 3 break points to Rybakina's 1, but Rybakina took her single break point and nicked the set 6-4 #tennis

There is... nearly no one in the crowd in Riyadh for this Gauff-Paolini match. Understand the huge investment the PIF has made in the prize money pool and in the tour itself – but the optics here are brutal. If it's staying in Riyadh for the next howevermany years, they have to solve this.

Swiatek vs Rybakina is a good contest so far; I'm loving the powerful, tactical baselining #WTAFinals

The purple suits Rybakina #WTAFinals

Haha hahaaa this table 😎

NEW: #399 "The Cusp Boys" - Rybakina books her Finals spot and dips immediately - Jannik takes a break from Davis Cup and gets roasted (Sinner al forno) - Kostyuk decides to dabble in a little late-season transvestigation - And more! thebodyserve.podbean.com/e/the-cusp-b...

Karolina 🪄 #tennis

Paolini vs Rybakina in Ningbo had a lot at stake for the year-end finals, potentially, and it lived up to the occasion. Great hitting from both, but Rybakina proves stronger. 6-3, 6-2

Vacherot and Rinderknech aren't only literal cousins. Vacherot is a French name that means "person who takes care of cows". Rinderknech is a German name that means "person who takes care of cattle." Cowboy final in Shanghai.

🎾Wuhan 2025🎾 Ekaterina Alexandrova will be the 48th WTA player since the start of 2014 to make her top-10 debut, and the 3rd in 2025 (Mirra Andreeva, Amanda Anisimova). 33 ATP players made their top-10 debuts in those 12 seasons, with 4 in 2025: Tommy Paul, Jack Draper, Lorenzo Musetti, Ben Shelton

"Do you want a player to die on court?" Making players compete in these conditions seems abusive, seriously www.bbc.com/sport/tennis... #tennis

The players must stand up to the tours. I fear someone could get seriously hurt or even die if they continue this way.

Muchova came this close 👉👈 to yielding a *5-2 lead in the deciding set against Kostyuk but gets it done, 2-6, 6-2, 6-4. She looks absolutely spent, calls the conditions "really brutal". Both players had unforced error counts in the 50s. But we advance 💪

Psst. Wanna watch a good rally?

Great fighting rally from Siniakova and Wang yesterday in the final round of qualifiers for #WuhanOpen Siniakova came back from 1-5 in set 2, saving set points, and today beat a hampered Diana Schnaider in R1

Jannik Sinner came to check out Shelton but saw The Goffinator.

Paolini vs Anisimova was gripping all through, but the quality in last few games, my god

This is an interesting interview with Dominic Thiem about his career and the business of tennis www.youtube.com/watch?v=jagi...

Here's the incident and the exchange

*holds up I JUST HOPE BOTH PLAYERS WIN sign for Muchova vs Anisimova* But I think I'm always gonna cheer for Muchova

Some ppl in tennis could take note of this :/

Alcaraz is ruining Fritz with these drop shots. Such an effective shot today

I'm intensely anti-billionaire but have never been able to root against Pegula on that basis. She seems genuinely down to earth and likeable, and she's funny. And I like her game and the way she maximizes it

reposting because of this villain's insidious presence in tennis

how adorable are these. megaprops to the fan. choose your fighter. /rednote (translated)

We go again. Send her packing, Muchie

Do you still care about the last stretch of the year? Let me know! Currently writing my take on that and opening the floor on yours. From the USO to the Finals: are you still in the room with us? Are you drifting away? Are you locked in? Do you think non die-hard tennis fans are?

Krejcikova and Siniakova have reunited for the Korea Open, I see

"We’re pretty sure they live in a network of tunnels beneath the courts—you can hear them skittering around down there after the sun sets." ATP Reveals They’re Not Sure Where Ball Boys Come From: theonion.com/atp-reveals-...

"there's a reason why hackers and systems are constantly at war: because one makes the other evolve, always" I love this Alcaraz–Sinner analogy and would add that in order to evolve, systems have to become hackers a bit, and vice versa

Always here for Petko's reflections "a full stadium of 24,000 people and still the most amazing thing about this image are my eyebrows" 😄 #USOpen andreapetkovic.substack.com/p/us-open

The stadium Trump is in is named after Arthur Ashe, the tennis legend. What many people today probably don't know is that Ashe was literally arrested in front of the White House in 1992 for protesting the George H.W. Bush administration's treatment of Haitian refugees. www.upi.com/Archives/199...

HOOK IT INTO MY VEINS #USOpen

Ready for the final.

Another Sinner-Alcaraz final is booked, this time at the #USOpen. Their era has been well underway for a while now.

Djokovic looks weary af. Alcaraz should assume he's not and play accordingly

Djokovic was on court 3½ hours more than Alcaraz in this tournament, and half of it was spent bouncing the ball before serves

Petition to hire @jacquimartin75.bsky.social’s mother to commentate all matches.

Only if it's an epic annihilation

Love this photo 🤗🤗

Somehow I wish Lindsay Davenport could be on the mic for the finals. We need an expert in big babe velocities.
