Upsets all over the place on the women's side today. Almost lost Sabalenka too.

Its slowly dawning on me that we might lose both Williams sisters AND Federer at the end of the year.

Venus has been gone for the last three years to me.

Keeping it 100, if Murray can get through Shapovalov, he should make the QF against Djokovic

Young Coco

It tickles me how intense she gets

Fed played well today after a close first set

Kyrgios vs Auger-Aliassime in Round 3

Very good read (way too long to post) on the pay of tennis players and the fight over how to get more, particularly for players on the lower rung:

A Few Tennis Pros Make a Fortune. Most Barely Scrape By.

Reaffirms my lack of compassion for what Osaka's been doing too. If she wants to compete, she has to talk to the press. She has a very kushy lifestyle now with her earnings while the vast majority of the tour is struggling.

She’s not beholden to anyone but herself, players outside the top 100 definitely need & deserve a bigger cut but that has absolutely nothing to do with Osaka...

Gasquet really lost 56 straight sets to Nadal and Fed according to Brad Gilbert . Crazy they been whooping dudes ass for damn near 20 years and it's only gotten worse as he got older.

Dude's nickname should be "The Tune-Up"

She isn't going through a struggle like those players. They can't afford to boycott anything or skip press conferences and get fined. She owes it to them to fulfill her media obligations if she's gonna play.

She owes them nothing, genuinely don’t see the connection

Up early to see Sloane play
