Yes, sorry about that - it's corrected now. Mental block!

What's it like to defeat your former pro parent on the tennis court? Shelton, Fritz, Ruud and several others at Wimbledon are kids of former pros. Was it a pivotal moment when they beat their parent? We found out.

A feature for @espn.com on tennis players trying to beat their pro parents at tennis www.espn.com/tennis/story...

Agreed

Remember when Murray beat Baghdatis in 2012? That match actually finished at 11pm, past the curfew. They had enough time to get close to finishing last night, I'd say, and had they stopped at 4-4 or something, would that have been worse?

Katie Boulter rounds off Britain’s opening day in the sun at Wimbledon Katie Boulter beat the world No 9 Paula Badosa after Arthur Fery stunned Alex Popryin on a record-breaking day for home players at Wimbledon

Epic first day at @wimbledonltc.bsky.social - 7 British players already through, 9 more in action today. Here's the day one wrap for @theguardian.com on the surging Brits www.theguardian.com/sport/2025/j...

‘I know everything is possible’: Teenager Joao Fonseca on Wimbledon, football and Federer The Brazilian is seen as one of tennis’ brightest rising stars and will make his Wimbledon main draw debut next week

Could this young Brazilian be the next big star of men's tennis? Fascinating to hear an 18-year-old talking so maturely about the perils of social media, while relishing the excitement of his first year on Tour and his first Wimbledon www.theguardian.com/sport/2025/j...

Fascinating stats from the WTA/ITF report into online abuse of tennis players. "During the year, 458 players were targeted with direct abuse or threat, five players received 26% of the total abuse identified, while 97 prolific accounts were responsible for 23% of all detected abuse."

Big rise in prize money for this year's @wimbledonltc.bsky.social - total of £53.7 million (up 7% on 2024) £3 million to each of singles champion (up 11.1%), R1 losers will get £66,000.

Nothing to apologise for. Great final

To serve or to receive? The ultimate decision for any pro tennis player The coin toss winner in a tennis match gets the choice: to receive or serve first. And the pro players are surprisingly divided on it.

With a nod to Brad Gilbert, who used to say players were best off receiving first in tennis, a feature on the simplicity of the coin toss and what players decide to do and why. With quotes from Djokovic, Keys, Tsitsipas and others www.espn.com/tennis/story...

Spoke to Jack Draper in Monte-Carlo yesterday. Really good head on his shoulders, not afraid to admit that in some ways, imposter syndrome will always be there, but says that pushes him every day to prove he belongs at the very top www.theguardian.com/sport/2025/a...

Popped over to Monaco for the Monte-Carlo Masters and the best view in tennis (from the press room). Good interviews with players today, hopefully more to come tomorrow

Caught a few minutes of the TGL golf thing - the golf/virtual event played in a stadium/arena. Maybe I am just too old for it but it’s hard to explain just how boring it was.

Jacob Fearnley is already showing he can handle big occasions - beat Kyrgios in Melbourne and now an in-form Nishikori at the Davis Cup. The latter is a seriously impressive win @daviscup.bsky.social
