29 competitions. 3 days.
We’re not talking enough about just how rough the first day or three after working a 2-3 weeks event like a Slam, the Olympics or similar are.
Cortisol and Adrenaline dropping off of a cliff. It’s 7pm and I am in bed, tired but still kinda wired.
My big data-based takeaway from these Olympic Games?
People want to see excellence and skill even if they don’t understand it right away but more than anything: people want to see fairplay, sportsmanship and a semblance of Olympic values in action.
Right now maybe more than ever.
Thanks! I’ll pass it on 🙏
Truly a special couple of weeks!

Milano Cortina 2026 has been the wildest but also best biathlon ride.
“What a week.”
“Denfeld, it’s only Tuesday”
I’m going to get drunk on Herb Ertlinger fruit wine tonight.
“Again back to that first Slam you’re trying to get. It’s difficult to get, NOT EVERYONE HAS THAT.”
We shouldn’t be surprised.
With 45°C in Australia the entire week, conditions favour spawns of hell to succeed.
Not half-bad for Christmas morning.
This is the ATP’s version of Puig’s Rio gold but 10 times more extreme.
That would make you luxurious but the quiet part? Hmmmm.

“Alright, Katy.”
How did we not have a category “Caroles who are getting shit done” with Carole as winner at the las cultch awards this week? A missed opportunity.
Readers, we truly won.
It feels like Bouchard was sent into retirement in Montreal 2 weeks ago and the semifinals take place on a … Wednesday?
This is still my default mode regarding the 2-weekification of most Masters/1000 events:
still waiting for the chocolate just sayinnnn
Fondest of memories of even / especially the most awkward of moments. Pure fuego.
“Oh, I’m good… I’M GOOD!”
Me, this summer:
Oh yeah, regularly quoting it with the exact candence.
Also “stop sweating, like.. I don’t know what’s wrong with me - the effects of winning a maaatch.”
“There’s a lot going on here” iykyk
Lots are here, lots aren’t. I feel like most pop by every now and then, same goes for me - but pace is different than during the tennis twitter hey day. And that’s ok.
@fortydeucetwits.bsky.social starter packs and the truthfully, muddle through the following / followers lists of people at this point. That gets you places quickly 🙂↕️
We love an @avarwallace.bsky.social appearance🫰
