Well, that was kinda hilarious. 🫠

don't know why but I can't stop laughing at the phrase "Jelena standing there with that funky ass attitude"

Honestly so over Medvedev’s antics. Long since past being funny. Grow up. You’re almost 30.

The Conestoga High boys soccer coach was running a low-stakes gambling ring for prop bets on how players on the boys basketball team would do in individual games. @wbender99.bsky.social has the story (brought to you by DraftKings! 🫤)

… but the matches tonight 💥🤯

finding these cans is the new holy grail of alcoholism. finally, a road soda with plausible deniability.

As an update to The Daily Theory from today, Osaka may have split with Mouratoglou, but she’s here with a Mouratoglou Academy coach. More to come. 🎾

What I’m more interested in than “Foki choked” is the dichotomy between Demon, who never believes he is beaten and Foki who loses all belief in his abilities when faced with the prospect of winning. Fascinating. But the level Demon brought in the 5-4 game should not be overlooked.

she’s laughing about it because haha interview time, but it’s incredibly bleak! h/t @/jessicaschiffer from Over There for the video 🎾

VENUS 🎾🇺🇸❤️

It’s so awesome seeing Hailey Baptiste in her element with Venus sitting next to her on the changeover. ❤️🎾

Thank YOU, @helenubinas.bsky.social, for comforting Philly's afflicted, afflicting Philly's comfortable, and, always, speaking truth to power. This city we love is better for your writing about it.

This has to be one of the laziest pieces this Wimbledon. Old news, twisted words, incorrect assumptions, factual errors, and apparently unedited. Ben Rumsby really hit all the marks. 🎾 www.telegraph.co.uk/tennis/2025/...

It is time. 🎾🌱🍓

These paintings really chill me out

"Putting the notices just on government or school board sites is not a viable alternative, as information there is often out of date or difficult to find. For example, the website for Franklin Township in Carbon County still lists Tom Wolf as governor ..." www.inquirer.com/opinion/edit...

Generally speaking, Sinner isn’t too bothered by Djokovic these days. But they’ve only played once on clay. That was four years ago and Djokovic won in fairly straightforward fashion. Could be an interesting puzzle for Sinner to solve. 🎾

After years of victims crying out for help and answers, has the Philadelphia Police Department finally answered their call? www.inquirer.com/opinion/comm...

The trails of Wissahickon Valley Park are for hikers, runners, bikers, and horses. …Yet, there it was Monday morning, a Porsche. With some fiber pills inside and a probiotic shake, according to one hiker. The fun read you didn’t know you needed, via @wbender99.bsky.social @ryanbriggs.bsky.social

this story is nuts, well done @wbender99.bsky.social and @ryanbriggs.bsky.social

THEY CALLED IT A “DESK POP” AND LINKED TO A CLIP FROM THE OTHER GUYS THATS MY NEWSPAPER

Staffers said the shooter works in HR #deskpop www.inquirer.com/news/sheriff...

Every time Casper Ruud comes in and knocks off a nice volley to win the point, all we here Court Theory HQ can think is… Somehow Taylor Fritz — of the hard courts of California — can’t learn to do this? 😑🎾

Just got the ultimate mid-match tennis compliment from a Philly kid walking by: “Are you from Australia?” 🇦🇺🦘🎾

I was there

If there was any question about whether or not Jack Draper tried to stick it to FAA in Cincy, that act just now of Draper asking Alcaraz if he was hindered AFTER the correction was made should put all that to rest. 🎾

Daniil Medvedev is not real. We have all collectively dreamed this strange, exuberant man into existence. 😭😭🎾 📽 BNP PARIBAS OPEN

Medvedev jumping up and down like his name just got called on The Price is Right is maybe my favorite thing so far this season. Good for him www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Isz...

When a Learjet crashed in Northeast Philadelphia on Jan. 31, a 9-year-old boy emerged from a wall of flames, in desperate need of help. Some bystanders pulled out their phones and started recording. One man ran to help. The story of Caseem Wongus, and his bond with a heartbroken family:

Look, you should this entire story on Philly patronage jobs from @wbender99.bsky.social @ryanbriggs.bsky.social, but the ending is 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻 www.inquirer.com/news/philly-...

There's little doubt we have players on tour who are doping. But if the "big catches" are world number ones who: a) took the substance inadvertently b) had such a small trace it barely registered, and c) had zero performance-enhancing qualities Then, what are we doing here, people?!? 🎾

Bellucci Breaks Out See, folks? This is why I spend so much time talking about players on the verge. Because, every once in a while, one of them has a result like this and you can say, "Oh him!? Tick Tock Tennis told me about him a while ago! I'm so much better than you" 😀 Bellucci to the semis!

If you missed the #AO2025 women’s final, don’t just watch the highlights— watch the whole match if you can. The highlights will show you the power 💥 But the full match shows Madison Keys stretch for balls she had no business getting a racquet on.

Gael Storm Well, here's contrast of styles! In one corner, you have a master of the return who can still move like lightning at age 38 In the other, you have the epitome of youthful service domination At the end of the (very long) day, experience wins as Gael Monfils wins 7-6, 6-3, 6-7, 6-7, 6-4

66 of 67 counties in Pa. have a local veterans affairs director, which is required by state law. But in Philadelphia, the position has been vacant ... for almost four years. my latest story in @inquirer.com www.inquirer.com/news/philade...
