I used to think The Tennis Letter was the worst account on tennis twitter but they genuinely have nothing on Tennis Centel...

I wrote about an up-and-coming Swiss the mainstream is not yet aware of: www.nytimes.com/athletic/697...

I wrote about the One Point Slam: www.thesecondserve.com/wham-bam-tha...

I'll be doing some work for The Athletic during the Australian Open! I asked Jannik Sinner to reflect on the moment he considered quitting tennis today, and spun that into my first piece for them: www.nytimes.com/athletic/697...

2025 was my first full year freelancing, and to my happy surprise I got enough published to do a summary thread! I mostly wrote from bed, but I was at the very fun and hot Australian Open, and covered it for Defector. (Sans credential, but check back in a month.) defector.com/the-australi...

This, for me, is the funniest conversation between tennis players ever to happen on social media. 💀

A few weeks ago, I came across an article posted on the Australian Open website with the headline "Why Ben Shelton will win the Australian Open 2026". I wrote about why I remain unconvinced. popcorntennis.com/2025/12/23/w...

How the ATP top 10 would handle robbing the Louvre:

Am I insane for taking Alcaraz's forehand over Federer's or Nadal's?!

Genuinely embarrassing look for the US Open.

Djokovic looks so damn tired in this first round match which means he's winning the title.

I think it would be fair to say this mixed-doubles tournament has traded legitimacy for mainstream popularity. I've seen more people than ever before talking about mixed-dubs but it does feel questionable to call it an actual major... Regardless, I've had a great time with it!

I am irrationally excited about this, I'll always have a soft spot for Bernard tbh! 🙏

Feel like we're all just waiting for Zverev to call here and he's just... not.

The actual worst thing about hinting for a job in media is that every job - even ones you think you might be qualified for! - are looking for someone with 5+ years experience, lol.

That was fucking excellent. Highly enjoy the Radders vs Sabalenka matchup. Gimme' moooore.

Bernard Tomic matches have been fully completed in the length of time this Sabs and Radders game has taken...

Radders is winning this and we all know it! 🫡

After watching Jannik Sinner win his match in 59 minutes yesterday, I can't wait to watch Carlos Alcaraz cruise through the first set, drop the second from a break up, and win the third set breaker in a 3 and a half hour epic later on today. 🙏

Radders' forehand down the line will win her more majors in the future, I swear!

I think we can all agree that Emma Raducanu is winning the US Open this year.

Winning your first tournament in front of a home crowd at 18 is absolutely fucking insane. Didn't think she had a chance and will happily admit that I was a fucking idiot for it! Victoria Mboko! 🔥

What I most liked about that match was that it properly felt like an 18 year old trying to make a huge breakthrough into the final of a huge event. Messy, nervy, all over the place, and, now and then, unbelievable ball-striking. 🔥

It is almost 2 in the morning where I am but Victoria Mboko is simply timeless. Un-fucking-real.

I should be sleeping but Mboko is such an icon, I just can't.

Me last week: Osaka could be getting read to retire soon tbh. Me this week: Osaka could win the US Open tbh.

13 years ago today... 💕

Madi Keys. Digging deep. 🪏 😤

Gauff really desperately needs to sort out those service yips because it's fine every now and then but it's getting to the point where you can absolutely predict when it's going to happen and that's a really bad sign.

There's something very appealing about the absolute messiness of Gauff's game. It's desperate, scrappy, an absolute shitshow at times. And yet, it usually finds a way. It's... life.

Made a tiktok about why I'm not a fan of Patrick Mouratoglou and... well...

Tried to stay up for Raducanu's match last night but found myself falling asleep beforehand. From the highlights, it just looked like a demolition job from Anisimova and that's super impressive after that Wimbledon final disappointment.

I feel like I am steadily becoming a Taylor Fritz fan and I have no idea why.

Feel like Ostapenko is the perfect opponent for Osaka right now. Fits right within her wheelhouse.

One year ago today, Andy Murray retired and nothing has ever been the same since. 💔

Stefanos Tsitsipas crashed out in the first round of the Toronto Masters yesterday, marking yet another early round tournament loss for him this year. Coincidentally, I wrote this piece on his decision to work with his father again just the day before. popcorntennis.com/2025/07/29/f...

I know nothing about cycling but my friend Owen does and so if you also know about cycling, you should read this.

I am not surprised when Emma Raducanu wins first and second round matches anymore which I reckon is a very good sign for where her career is at currently.

What I like about Raducanu's form right now is she's not panicking when down breaks of serve. Seems to have enough confidence and focus to know she'll have an opportunity to turn it around.

The Tennis Centel account on twitter is kinda' amusing sometimes and then they'll post the most randomly weird and slightly creepy stuff that makes you stop and consider who the hell is running it.

Emma Raducanu with Mark Petchey as her coach is such a dream team. You can see she's much more at ease on the court. Not in a hugely dramatic way but in just the subtle moments on the court. Between points. Ends of matches. Way more focused.

As someone who adored how much Andy Murray told us throughout his matches about how fucking hard playing professional tennis is, I really do appreciate Alejandro Davidovich Fokina. 🥲

Feel like I've aged about 5 years in the time this tournament director has been speaking.

Fokina looks like he'll never be the same again. Face full of trauma. 💔

The worst people you know are about to tell you women's football doesn't really count.

Awwww, the Murray family have a new doggo! 🥹

Kalinskaya's inside-out forehand just found that line time and time again in that match. Frustratingly good.

This Raducanu/Kalinskaya match is delivering!

Raducanu's forehand on the run is the kill shot, just so good.

Rybakina grabbed defeat from the jaws of victory.
