Here’s the situation. 🇺🇦Oleksandra Oliynykova is playing in a WTA main draw for the first time in her career - and she’s already into the semifinals. Today, she defeated the world No.33, scoring the highest-ranked win of her career. Now a simple question: how many posts about her can you find on the WTA Instagram page? Zero. Not one. Let’s repeat that: a player in a WTA semifinal. Three wins in a row. Zero posts. Is this normal? Is this support for Ukrainian players - or even good promotion of women’s tennis at all? 🤔

That's a point... 👉👉👉Also Kyrgios that has been trolling his colleagues (and girlfriends) all his "career"... Seems to be quite quite concerned with the well being of his fellow players... 🤣🤣🤣

As one of the few Mayors in this country who is actually Puerto Rican (born and raised), lets get real for a moment and let me offer an explanation as to why @realDonaldTrump and @JDVance are surging in the polls amongst Latinos and why they’ll continue to do so through election day. For Latinos, faith, family, and economic opportunity motivates us - not some bad joke by a comedian. America has had a first hand account of the two choices before us. Under the Biden and Harris administration, Americans have seen record inflation, an open southern border, increased crime, the weakening of the family structure, and the taking away of God from our daily lives. In contrast, under President Trump, Americans saw secured borders, economic prosperity, a respect for people of faith, and a respect for American values. This is why I, along with millions of Latinos, will help re-elect President Trump back into the White House.

A day after she was accused of being a competitor unworthy of respect, China's Qinwen Zheng d. Angie Kerber, a 6-7, 6-4, 7-6—precisely the kind of spirited comeback win that...attends respect. #Paris2024Olympic

Watched back the Coco Gauff-Donna Vekic incident. The call came after Coco hit the forehand so the umpire was correct. Doubtless at the time, Coco felt like the call came after, and I agree that video replay in tennis would be good. But for what it's worth, the ruling was right.

Apropos of nothing...this piece from five days ago ⤵️ #RolandGarros once broke Osaka. Now, the hard-court titan is learning to embrace its signature surface. 👉 @ptbodo on Naomi—or, “Clayomi”: The Great Reset tennis.com/news/articles/nao…

Stats you can use: The match between Botic van de Zandschulp and Nicolas Moreno de Alboran is the first-ever ATP tour-level meeting between two players with at least three spaces in their full names.

Is this the week @WTA confirms the open secret that Finals will be held in Saudi? …We have heard “yes.” (We also heard neither Indian Wells nor Miami wanted the announcement made on site, as the unseemly sportswashing talk would’ve detracted/distracted from their events.)

At a 1000’s should be absolutely mandatory to have electronic line calling, and this umpire should not work rest of tournament 🏟️ in my humble opinion – at Dubai, United Arab Emirates
Good for her for standing up for herself, even in vain. Pierre Bacchi is ... not having a great week.

So relatable 😳 I was 18, sept 1991, I returned home after 3 months of expedition in the Garhwal Himalaya, prepping for an all women expedition to ascend Mt Everest in Feb,next year. But 2 weeks after I returned, my mom died (road accident) and my life and dreams crashed

Crazy that CANADA's top sports network @TSN_Sports chose to show this special moment from AMERICA's junior hockey team after winning gold..but AMERICA's largest sports network @espn chose to completely ignore it on all social media platforms. Also crazy considering ESPN's rights deal with the @NHL. Unlike so many famous millionaire athletes who complain about this country but gladly take the 💰💰... it's SO refreshing to see such pride from these young men!!!! 🇺🇸 @usahockey #WorldJuniors
The American players singing their national anthem together after winning Gold at the #WorldJuniors 🇺🇸

If you're calling tennis slow back in the day, best to watch this Edberg-Agassi duel. Looks pretty contemporary to me, except for Edberg's expert net rushing! teapaw.org/i/status/1688179365534…
Nick makes a lot of noise about tennis lately!?! Why does he speak about a sport he apparently hates …fact-check Nick has never won a major championship as a player or coach( yes doubles 1) so where is any credibility coming from ? Trying to compare generations… Laver v Federer , Borg v Nadal , Sampras v Djokovic!?! I am not even gonna mention McEnroe,Conners ,Lendl Agassi , Courier, Edberg, Wilander ,Kuerten, Bruguera , Rafter , Hewitt and many more …speak to your @OnlyFans about many things but tennis 🎾!!!
