Did the first lead to the second?

@girinathan.bsky.social Done. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Your “level” as a writer and observer is very, very high. To put it in that language, 9/10 or 10/10 on every page, plenty of 12/10s, and definitely no 2/10s. Congratulations!

Enjoyed this. Especially the part on Sabalenka-Kyrgios, which is a terrible, awful idea. One small thing: De Minaur did play Davis Cup.

Hard agree. Well-put. There’s a bit too much chatter on outside courts, but nothing like Ashe. Feels like it has become an issue the last 5-8 years, which does seem to coincide with the surge of Honey Deuce and social media influencers.

For the few of you old enough to remember, this is similar to the stuff Nastase did after he was no longer a top player. www.nytimes.com/2019/08/22/s...

C’mon. I just watched it all over. I don’t see how someone can watch that and defend Medvedev. Allensworth is also to blame. Should have told the crowd after a minute that play would restart regardless of the noise, and then followed through. He let Medvedev decide when they would restart.

She jumped over the net?

That was fast, even for them :)

Was going to say the same. If the point were correctly awarded to Navarro it would have been deuce on Swiatek’s serve. Navarro, who never broke serve, still would have had to win two straight points to break serve.

Enjoying the commentary. You guys are good together. Good first set, too. FYI, Buy-eh-nuh. (No tilde on the n.)

I think it cost Murray a couple of Slams. Spent too much time on court and didn’t have enough in the tank in some semis and finals.

He’s not playing NextGen?
