cannot get enough of Adrian reposting this (his caption in red) 💀

Zizou saying his season has been ‘ambitious’ in his post match interview when he meant ‘ambiguous’ is good enough reason to repost this. Frankly, anything is good enough reason… @blairhenley.bsky.social

My day started with me enthusiastically waving at Hoda Kotb in the stands like I knew her and she waved enthusiastically right back at me like she knew me. I love the US Open. 🤣

Guys they built a bar on my favorite court at the US Open. One more reason to hang at Court 17.

Must-see tennis in Montreal today

this answer from Naomi Osaka nearly lit my computer on fire (also if you’re not subscribed to @benrothenberg.bsky.social’s Bounces, you’re missing out)

via @blairhenley.bsky.social : The Tennis Hall of Fame is awarding equal prize money to men & women at their new 125 event next week. It means supplementing the women’s purse by a whopping 60% - $200k for both. It’s the largest prize money total for a 125 event on both tours. 👏

we established today that I’ve done more interviews with Adrian Mannarino than anyone else in his career and, honestly, I’m honored

Aww Caro 🤍

Bryan Shelton said he agreed to wear an earpiece/do live interviews during this match because it’s good for the game. He’s absolutely correct, and he consistently makes himself available to the media. Hopefully other coaches will follow suit.

aw Madrid playing The Weeknd for Casper 🥹

Casper doing this without a nose strip is an extra level of amazing

“I thought for 95% I'm not coming back… Now I’m here!” Petra Kvitova returns for what she calls her « third career ». She was missing tennis too much. She also told me about the C-section that hampers her serve now and about how she still craves winning. tennissweetspot.substack.com/p/bianca-and...

Come for my TED Talk on Jenson Brooksby…stay for my Grigor stories.

Jenson Brooksby winning his first career title during Autism Awareness Month is pretty darn cool.

Not sure I’ve ever seen stronger Texas vibes on a tennis court. (But he’s not from Texas)

Kind of obsessed with Adam Walton’s Lotto kit in Miami.

This Osaka/Paolini match is so fun

The Joao Fonseca chants have already started on Grandstand in Miami. It’s 11am and he’s fourth match on. 🤯

Grandstand is packed in Miami for Mirra Andreeva. Star power is real.

Asked Roman Safiullin to describe his personality in three words. 1) calm 2) negative 3) but trying to be positive same, Roman 🤣

“Sir, I got a question…” AMAZING stuff from Eliot Spizzirri 🤣

was so nice to get to know the Sky Sports team for a day here in Miami the highlights were Grigor discussing - with zero sense of irony - how much he loves long walks on the beach, and Katie and Alex talking about Alex’s snoring struggles

So darn good to have Petra back

It’s so blurry, but this is my fave pic from the MGM Rewards Slam. These two genuinely had so much fun together. 🥹

Great insight into tennis (and tennis work) behind the scenes in this fun episode of @groundpass.bsky.social with @blairhenley.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=xPFb...

Q: Can you give us your best advice for doubles players in the crowd? “Pick a good partner” “Don’t blame your partner” Wise words from Evan King & Christian Harrison in their on-court interview in Dallas with @blairhenley.bsky.social 🎤

Casper Ruud: Nose Strip Influencer

Yoshi said on court yesterday that he and his wife met at a Pokemon convention, which led to this wedding photo. Obsessed with this info.

including the ranking is a choice ha

I cannot overstate how *incredible* Kim and Martina were last night in Dallas. Insanely good tennis. The fans were in heaven.

The draw gods are werking hard right now!!! Dallas Open draw is out! 🎾🛫

Went from having no public practice courts at the Dallas Open to having four. Cool opportunity for fans.

The new Dallas Open stadium features a Cowboys-colored court 💁‍♀️

There's so much happening, but I'm still thinking about Madison Keys' victory on Saturday, which warmed my cynical heart and helped me understand my own mental health journey so much better. I wrote about how Keys broke through and why it matters for Power Plays: www.powerplays.news/p/the-striki...

women’s tennis ftw

As you might expect, Madison Keys was bigger, stronger and more powerful than her opposition in 12s. Won Eddie Herr(pic) and Jr Orange Bowl titles in 2007; by 2011 had played her last junior match, a 2nd rd loss to Francoise Abanda(CAN) at USO. Best jr slam (of 4 played) was 3rd rd at Wimbledon #tbt

Reminder that Sem Verbeek was the player that crowdsourced Wimbledon lodging last year when he got in as an alternate. He was a walk on at University of the Pacific and is currently playing in the AO semis in just his fourth major appearance. 👏🤯

loved this moment where Zhang Shuai (after a loss!) made sure to get Madison’s attention to give her a post-win hug…everyone loves Shuai

Had a career first yesterday when Dasha came to the Blue Zone, stayed for her segment, chatted through a taped segment and decided to stay for a whole second segment. Never change 😂 #AusOpen

When it comes to doping tests in tennis, Chris Eubanks has done his homework—others, not so much. via @benrothenberg.bsky.social www.thesecondserve.com/honor-student/

Learner Tien blaming his poor fourth set against Daniil Medvedev on the fact that he “just had to pee so bad” is why I will never, ever abandon tennis

The AO has commemorative shirts for sale with that particular day’s order of play, and I could not love it more. Reminds me of a tour stop tee.
