Umeboshi

Sometimes I leave my little gay bubble life that consists of 1) my flat, 2) gay bars, and 3) dance studios and I'm reminded that there is a whole world of hot straight men out there. By which I mean I've come to my local WeWork for the day.

Raducanu finally seeded at a 1000 😀

Gets Sabalenka in R3 🫠

Anyways, Naomi doing better without Patrick. Let's celebrate that!

7k likes on this tweet. Incredible that the WTA splashed a bunch of money on a rebrand done by an agency that doesn't understand the basic graphic design concept of colour coding (and something so easy to fix, and yet....they haven't...)

Maybe this was a jinx that worked idk

We need a nickname like Round2canu for Naomi Osaka

it's unfortunate that everyone's chosen to clip the transcript at this point

Of course these quotes go viral when you cut off the transcript in the middle of the conversation. Anyone who actually watches the video will see that this wasn't some catty quip or drag of Raducanu. Ben clarified his question, Naomi continued to answer, and no one dragged Emma.

Tara Moore: British tennis player banned for four years for doping offence British tennis player Tara Moore is banned for four years for a doping offence, despite being cleared by an independent tribunal 18 months ago.

Dunno what to say about this, just damn!

We're never getting a Sabalenka v Swiatek slam final are we

Not to piss on mixed doubles, but it makes no sense to have the women's SFs played back to back from 1:30pm, as they'll be done by the time everyone in Europe finishes work. Why not put mixed doubles first (or on the weekend), followed by the two SFs so they can finish later? #Wimbledon

If the first 2 slams of 2025 set a pattern, then Animisova is going to beat Bencic in the Wimbledon final. This is because each time:

1) An American wins
2) Sabalenka loses to the eventual champion
3) Swiatek loses in the SFs

Unlike the other 2 slams, Sabalenka can't make the final this time

While Wimbledon is reaching its conclusion, no one is talking about the fact that both Christina McHale and Eugenie Bouchard are back from the dead and playing* a grass tournament in Newport. While the cat's away the mice will play I guess!

*they both lost in R1

not like I'm a huge Sabalenka fan or anything, but if Siegemund wins this match I'm going to kms #Wimbledon

People love to blame "the unpaid social media intern" but I'm pretty sure the US Open must be using ChatGPT to do its Twitter posts at this point, because there's no way in hell a human could make this mistake...right...? #Wimbledon #USOpen #Bencic

with that win, Bencic will be up to 14/15th in the live race, depending on how Samsonova does today

Both Bencic and Alexandrova currently having nervous breakdowns. High level tension! #Wimbledon

Also Pavlyuchenkova one of about six(?) players to reach two slam QFs so far this year, putting her in quite an elite group, but a few more will no doubt join them

the other bad thing about the new system is that when there's a shot that just goes out slightly, they play a replay on the screens in the stadium, and the crowd goes "ooh" as they see how close the shot was, but the cameras don't pick it up for the viewers at home

"you took the game away from me" - Pavlyuchenkova to the umpire. and she's 100% right.

Oh FFS just bring back the line judges this situation is just silly #Wimbledon

In the Top 5 Campest Things to Happen in Womens Tennis

yeah this is bizarre, even by tabloid standards

Mind you she was doing all this at like 4-4 in the third. She hit two unforced errors and acted like the world was ending, when she was still very much in the match at an even level #Wimbledon

Iga vs DanYell next #Wimbledon

Wang Xinyu losing R2 to Sonmez feels like another upset? Another pre-Wimbledon grass court success story out. #Wimbledon

beyond Osaka's first major and Pliskova wimbledon final, he doesn't really seem to bring his players to good results, plus Osaka fired him when she found out he was dating fellow player (and 19yo) Sofya Zhuk

How long now before Donna Vekic fires Sascha? Has any coaching career gone downhill so quickly? #Wimbledon

this did not age well

Kartal vs Tomova is eating way harder than it has any right to. Tomova hit a total Shot of the Day type backhand passing winner, but still somehow got broken. #Wimbledon
