This is the correct way to frame slam titles. By just adding the text “IN OPEN ERA”, you bypass the whole topic of Margaret Court’s irrelevant wins in Australia when most players didn’t even travel there.

Andrey going classic

There was little bit of everything today at the Australian Open. But in the grand scheme of things, not much changed. Round 3 is set. forty-deuce.ghost.io/aussie-bites...

Remember how they banged on about how they had no intention to create a rival tour? A lie, which was clear from the start. And many insisted we call it a players "union" LOL

Watching the replay and after this happened Rennae Stubbs and Chanda Rubin (tacitly but nevertheless) said they agreed with Cristea. I don’t see it. We’ve seen so many times where a player is berating themselves or yelling at their box between serves and it’s fine. But “c’mon” is a bridge too far?

Cirstea OUT Bencic OUT Siegemund OUT Tsitsipas OUT Ostapenko OUT Doubles: Kyrgios OUT What delightful news to wake up to 😅🩵 #ausopen

Love the little detail on Stan's shirt referencing the 2015 shorts that set the tennis world afire

a dramatic on court interview with Naomi after, too? inject it into my veeeeiiiinnnns why must all the good stuff happen while I am sleeping? bsky.app/profile/lobj...

😭 catching up on what I missed WTA wise overnight on Day 5 (?!) of the AO. a classic Cirstea freak out *chef’s kiss* this is all I needed to see, no other updates to share. ⬇️

Bartunkova out-played, out-thought and out-styled an in-form Bencic. Beautiful stuff

This is what Cirstea was mad about. Stay mad, then

Naomi is LITIGATING this shit

Chanda asks Naomi what it took to beat Sorana tonight. Naomi: "Apparently a lot of come ons that she was angry about, but whatever. I tried to play well, I think I hit a lot of UFE but I tried my best. She's a great player. I think this was her last AO, so I'm sorry she was mad about it."

And what a beauty to bring this one to 5 #AusOpen

Yes.

Iga out there giving it her all in a kit that's giving Wile E. Coyote after a truck ran over him

lmao Iga charging forward like she's about to rugby tackle her

Great bit of tennis weirdness to start my day #AusOpen

#Tennis #AusOpen @bronxboyjoy.bsky.social @pluckyloser.bsky.social Laura Siegemund serves when Maddison Inglis isn't ready and Alison Hiughes tells her to serve again. Cue the discussion of that decision ...

wacky lol

The army of unpaid towel-wielding children has been deployed

The hindrance call against Muchova (she won the game) #AusOpen

Someone tell Boris that it's better to keep your mouth shut and be thought a fool than to open it and remove all doubt

Alright let's preserve the ancient texts. Reply with the looks that should be enshrined in the Tennis Fashion HOF.

The most interested I have ever been in a John McEnroe commentary is when he just said, "Reilly's gonna keep these porn shorts." Except it turns out he meant to say "keep these points short." So I'm checking out again. -H

Osaka's outfit in motion:

Totally agree: the chaotic avalanche of matches and results is part of the thrill of a slam, it's something you can't replicate at a tour level tournament Why do sport administrators always want to dilute the unique stuff? (rhetorical question, it's because of money)

Did you know La Bencic has a daughter. She has a daughter. You must be told 25 times a match. Because she’s a mother. Did you know she has

Oleksandra Oliynykova, who Madison Keys beat today and who recently made a career-high ranking of #90, has quite a story web.archive.org/web/20170719... #WTA #AusOpen

She worked very hard with a fraction of the resources that a lot of athletes take for granted. She didn’t train in academies. She wasn’t supported by billionaires. Even her own country’s flag carrier decided to be a sponsor very recently, only after she won her first WTA title. It’s been a journey.

Some belters of rallies at the end of this match. Muchova felt the heat (in both senses), did well to get over the line #AO #AusOpen www.youtube.com/watch?v=W98Y...

They're a hoot. And Chris Eubanks is so good at this

🎾Australian Open 2026🎾 Karolina Muchova has won the opening round in each of her last 6 Grand Slams on hardcourt (Australian Open, US Open), but has also lost her opening match in each of her last 4 Grand Slams outside hardcourt (Wimbledon, Roland Garros)

The pauses in Cilic's serve are such an interesting tic. It's like: *bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce* *pause* Wait, what am I doing? *looks up* Oh yeah, serving in a tennis match. *bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce* *pause* I'm sure I've done this before. *bounce, bounce* *ace*

Missed the women's doubles final in Adelaide, but some amazing play by Zhang in these highlights www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ye_Z... #WTA

Trying to get ready for the Australian Open. Who are the must follow tennis content people these days?

god, this would keep me up at night for a reeeeeeaaallll long time 😭 🕊️

#Tennis #Adelaide "WHAT A WAY TO WIN IT!!!" Underdog Kimberly Birrell defeats Jaqueline Cristian. She will play the winner of Victoria Mboko vs Madison Keys in the Semi Finals.

It was a WILD finish

Garland was beaten in the final – I hope she gets *some* kind of consolation prize – but great to see an amateur (Tom Larner) win the thing in such a packed field

if i had to hear donna vekic plug her diamonds one more time while the normies are talking about buying a house and stuff i might have been sick.

Joanna Garland, my new hero #1PointSlam

Siniakova peaking in Adelaide R1. Yastremska was erratic, because Yastremska, but Siniakova hardly put a foot wrong and took it 6-0 6-1. Break point stats are telling too, 6/6 vs 0/8 #WTA

84, 1 - The combined age of 84 years and 1 day between Venus Williams and Tatjana Maria will be the oldest between two opponents in a main draw match at WTA level, since the WTA was founded in 1973 - age calculated at start of event. Evergreen! #HobartTennis | @wtatour.bsky.social

Good to hear Catherine Whitaker address climate change (and tennis stars' use of private jets) in this episode Would've liked to hear the men agree, instead of leaving her with crickets and dead air shows.acast.com/thetennispod... Also, any chance of posting here, @tennispodcast.bsky.social?

They did it! Great show, Poland ❤️🤍
