And, now! It is time for dessert!

Mboko is overcommitting with her positioning on those second serves from Muchova. It’s getting her in too much trouble because Muchova can handle the pace. And then she just puts the ball in the most uncomfortable spot for Mboko.

Waking up to see Destanee Aiava will end her playing career in 2026. She’s 25. In her Instagram post, she lays out her decision clearly. The two slides below stood out. If you’ve followed her career, it will come as no surprise. But it’s no less shameful for our tennis world. 🎾

I loved her vintage kits. Tennis Channel will cover this in a segment sponsored by Draft Kings.

OHMYGODDDDDTALLONGRIEKSPOOR

Sakkari on edge *while winning* is exactly the kinda thing Muchova thrives on. 🎾

You didn’t *really* believe Botic was done, did you?

Bublik sure does show a lot of disrespect toward his opponents for a guy who decided to do something at 28 years old. 🙄🎾

Victoria Mboko: Oh, I’m down again? Let me fix that real quick. 🎾

So, no Stefano Vukov this week?

Victoria Mboko: Oh, I’m down again? Let me fix that real quick. 🎾

Sakkari was like: Okay, you *barely* got out of your last service game Iga. I’m going to make this a one minute service game and make you serve again right quick. 🎾

This Bublik-Hurkacz match looks like it was some serious hitting…not that we’d expect anything else. 😅

Sorry, but WHAT IS GOING ON WITH IGA’S PSYCHOLOGIST?!? 🎾

That was a wild end of the match between Mboko and Andreeva. 🤯

Mboko so far in on Andreeva’s second serves. But then just retreats? 🫤🎾

Still have this gripe. And I suspect it will continue.

This REALLY isn’t the match to be using the word “niggle,” fellas.

This Learner Tien-Marin Cilic match has the potential to be super high-quality tennis. 🎾

This Middle East swing is always so damn messy

Is Coco tryna get back to watch the Olympics? 😬

JJ Tracy a little salty at the handshake 😬

Last week, Hailey Baptiste made her first WTA semifinals in Abu Dhabi. This week, she and her coach have gone their separate ways. 🎾

Watching BG get ratioed on X for his take on the halftime show is kinda fun. 🫠

Oh, Tamara 😭

Did not recognize Simona Halep. 😐

Our sport continues to lead the way. ❤️🎾 www.instagram.com/p/DUb8VIugcd...

As I watch the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, I’m thinking about how spectacular human beings are, what we’re capable of, and how much we can overcome when we set our minds to it.

Is Sorana Cirstea going to double bagel her way into the final?!? 😬🎾

A lot of confidence-building wins for Raducanu this week so far. They might not be over top-ranked players, but they are the kinds of wins that show you what you can do under difficult circumstances. 🎾

Bepa is coming for 2026, y’all. 🎾

Alright, time for Fils and Auger-Aliassime! 😅 🎾

Fight to the Final Ekaterina Alexandrova was one point away from defeat in the 2nd set, but finds a way to escape against Hailey Baptiste. The #2 seed advances to her the 13th WTA final of her career with a 3-6, 7-6⁵, 6-3 victory in Abu Dhabi.

That joy came through even after losing. She’s such a star.

Oliynykova is out there delivering tennis joy. She is so good for our sport. ❤️🎾

It doesn’t matter who is on the other side of the net, Martin Damm is hitting right through them. 🤯🎾

Hailey Baptiste goes down in three sets. But it was her negativity in the second set (WHILE WINNING) that lost her this match against Alexandrova. It was a great week for Hailey, but this negativity taking over is a recurring problem that needs fixing pronto.

Hailey Baptiste is insisting on negativizing (yes, I made that word up) herself into a third set.

The Guardian hasn't published a single piece about Emma Raducanu winning this week. Not even when she pulled off that miraculous turnaround against Kaja Juvan. Something tells me if she had gotten waxed in that match, they would have published a mean story and a spiteful headline to match. 🎾

The thing that has been so striking to me in the start of this final season for Wawrinka is how much more fit he is than he was last year. He really put in the work in the off season.

If you're not already watching, I beg of you: put on Wawrinka vs. Auger-Aliassime! This match is funnnnnnn!!! 🎾

Oliynykova might be my favorite story of 2026 so far. 🎾

There goes Machac again. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Now, if you’ll excuse me, there’s curling to be watched. 🥌 #Crosstraining

Okay, that Raducanu match was wild. 🤯

If you can lose five games in a row, why can’t you win seven? 😅

I’m not convinced even Reilly Opelka tosses the ball as high as Juvan on that serve. 🎾

Raducanu looks positively panicked. 🎾

The no-coach era is going well. 😐
