It was wild watching her in Montreal up close, just dismantling players with those slice forehands and some complex court geometry.

I know she's down in the scoreline but Aoi Ito is cookin. So so fun.

Spoke to players about how they’re expected to always be gracious in defeat, in a sport that gives a runner-up a microphone just moments after a tough loss.

The tennis scoring system is art. It's a thing of beauty.

The tennis scoring system may be the only thing left I entirely believe in.

Asked Raducanu if, when she walked off court at Wimbledon, she thought "Man, I want another crack at that asap." She said the thought, "I want another cract at that *on grass", but said she was under no illusions that surface matters, grass favored her game, less so here on hard court.

It's kind of interesting, the extent to which the "all digital future" promoted as an alternative to analog/mechanical turned out to be worse, less secure, and uglier

I mean....Marta was playing great in Montreal before she literally fell down. But yes, sometimes maybe it is scheduling related. But not always. Sometimes it's just sports.

Iga Swiatek gets a walkover in 4R after Marta Kostyuk w/d with the wrist injury she sustained last week in Montreal.

Jelena Ostapenko also gets a walkover into 3R after Cami Osorio w/d with an ab injury.

When Ashe's Feud With Connors Took Centre Court At Wimbledon Jimmy Connors entered the 1975 Wimbledon final having retained the national No. 1 ranking for over a year straight. But his opponent, Arthur Ashe, was playing for more than a trophy.

TIL Jimmy Connors was a huge bitch to Arthur Ashe www.wbur.org/onlyagame/20...

"This machine will make me smart! It'll make me likeable! It'll make me an artist! It'll tell me I have value when no one else has! It will fill the emptiness in me where a parent who loved me would have nurtured empathy and kindness. I work hard. I try. Why aren't I special? This machine'll help."

Rybakina squeaks out the win but that tape on the lower calf is worrisome with USO two weeks away. Doesn't seem to be getting much lift, in-rally movement off.
