I am heart-broken that the Mets are out of the playoffs. And I'm sad that there isn't easy tennis watching until January. (I do not watch Tennis Channel due to their corporate ownership.)

But, damn, I'm going to be so productive for a couple of months, finally! Whoohoo!

Comparing tzimmes recipes (my contribution to a Rosh Hashanah meal) and seeing so much honey replaced by brown sugar in "traditional' Jewish recipes.

To these recipe authors I say, "WTF is wrong with you people?????"

Thank you for your attention to this matter. 😉

That was gorgeous tennis! #Muchova #Osaka

I'm going to be repeating this, again, if the winner plays Muchova.

Oh, no! I don't know who I want to win!!! (Definitely a first world problem.) #tennis

Ha! I'm in NY....my January hits differently. I have a feeling we'll get the answer soon.

So....where can I purchase Taylor Townsend tennis apparel? I swear I'll wear it out to dinner in January, I don't care. I want her to be a zillionaire. #tennis

No matter what happens, #PatrickMcEnroe owes a huge public apology to #TaylorTownsend. #tennis #USOpen

Taylor!!! Wow! Not expected but certainly welcome! Respect!

I ❤️ that Leylah always puts one more 🎾 in play.

I did not, but Cincy is my home tournament and I was able to see her several times on Center Court and the practice courts there.

Awww...that's so sweet! I think, as a metaphor, the artifacts we use to build confidence are real and significant.

As a matter of practicality...nope...not gonna improve my athleticism.

But thank you!

Nothing is ever easy for Muchova. But, boy, is she delightful to watch. #tennis

P.S. I ordered a pair of her Adidas Y-3 shoes. It won't improve my tennis game, but I'll feel cool and mustard-y.

For what it’s worth, the players had courtside portable a/c units, umbrellas and ice. How is this different than Miami?

When is Sabalenka’s team going to teach her to speak her opponent’s name rather than ‘she’?

She’s rude whether she wins or loses and that would warm her up immensely. #tennis

Karolina Muchova on hartru practice court in Cincinnati winding up a forehand.

My girl, Karolina Muchova, healthy in Cincinnati. #Tennis. She's on Center Court tonight. I can't do this anywhere else and it's so cool.

Yippee! I may even learn to spell your name correctly!

Go Laylah!! #tennis

Wouldn't it be cool to have a US Open final rematch four years on with Fernandez and Raducanu in the Final. Fingers crossed! #tennis

Technically, I have no dog in this fight. But tell me, oh denizens of the manosphere, what would make you attractive to young women if you spend half your take home pay on sports betting?
Do you not see the problem, here?

I feel a little sad for Sinner...I mean who does he have to play to get the crowd in his corner? #Wimbledon

The bigger accomplishment isn't the win. It's that his attention didn't wander and he kept focus. #Alcaraz #Wimbledon #tennis

Court's wins need to come with an asterisk. Fewer than half had fields of 128.

That was well done on Anisimova's part. Not easy. #tennis #wimbledon

I figured out what bothers me so much about Sabalenka. Obviously, she is completely deserving of her ranking. But, she's so stupid both on and off social media and she is so rude that in interviews she calls her opponents only "she", not by name. #wimbledon #tennis

In fairness, she's a soccer star in her own right who happens to have a famous surname. I get cranky by how they identify her on the screen. Her accomplishments, which are many, are her own.

That's some first set. On to the tie break. I like it when Sabalenka loses. At this point, talent notwithstanding, her unprofessionalism is bad for the sport. (I feel the same way about Zverev, the credibly accused abuser, and Kyrgios, with more narcissistic wounds than tattoos.) #Wimbledon

Sigh. It's my fault. I jinxed her.

When I think of what was missing from Roland Garros coverage that is better at #Wimbledon, the answer is James Blake.

#Tennis

I wouldn’t mind seeing Osaka make a deep run. #tennis #wimbledon
